Operating principle of the MSC800
ID sensors are operated in combination with an MSC800 for automated and non-contact
recording and decoding of 1D / 2D codes. The read results of the ID sensors are output on
the data interfaces of the MSC800. External sensors provide information about the read
cycle, the object distance and the conveyor speed. This information is then distributed to
the systems by the MSC800.

By combining several ID sensors, it is possible to record several sides in one passage
(multi-side reading). In this case, the MSC800 carries out the coordination of the sensors.
