Product description
This chapter provides information on the design, properties, and function of the camera
system.
3.1
Camera system design
The camera system is an intelligent sensor for the automatic and non-contact identifica-
tion and decoding of 1D/2D codes of moving objects in a reading station. The system
consists of an ICD880/890 camera (1), an ICI890 LED illumination unit (2), and an
optional deflector mirror (3).

The camera system is connected to a controller unit via CAN bus. The power supply unit
for the controller unit provides the supply voltage.
External sensors such as photoelectric sensors and incremental encoders are used for
triggering and position detection. Sensors such as volume measurement systems and
light grids provide the object distance required for auto-focusing. All external sensors are
connected to the controller unit like the camera systems.
The controller unit processes the signals from the connected sensors and delivers the
recorded read results to the higher-level host computer.

For additional information on the controller unit, please see the relevant operating
instructions for the MSC800 or SIC2000.
