1.2 Purpose of this document
This document guides technically qualified and authorized personnel through the
installation and operation of the following variants of the MSC800 modular system
controller:
• MSC800-0000: logic unit
• MSC800-1100: logic unit with power supply unit (10 A) in a cabinet
• MSC800-2100: logic unit with power supply unit 10 A) in a cabinet
• MSC800-2300: logic unit with power supply unit (30 A) in a cabinet
• MSC800-3400: power supply unit (40 A) in a cabinet
• MSC800-3600: power supply unit (60 A) in a cabinet
Depending on the number of connected ID sensors, an MSC800-1100/-2100 or an
MSC800-2300 is used. In order to increase the total performance of the power supply
units, the MSC800-2300 can be combined with another MSC800-3400 or MSC800-3600.
The document contains information on
• Mounting and electrical installation
• Commissioning
• Operation and configuration
• Maintenance
• Troubleshooting
• Replacing system components
Instructions are given in stages for all actions.
For simplicity in this document, the MSC800 modular system controller will be referred to
as “MSC800”, unless a clear distinction needs to be made between variants.
The 1D / 2D code sensors, e.g., the ICR880/890 camera system or the CLV490 bar code
scanner, will be referred to as ID sensors.
