Start/Stop operation
In this type of reading pulse, only one object per reading pulse is located in the reading area.
External sensors, command strings or the free running of the ICR890 System control the
beginning and end of the reading pulse for the ICR890 System (stand-alone device). In the
case of combined use with other ICR890 Systems in a master/slave combination with the
MSC800 (e. g. unidirectional double-side reading), the ICR890 System receives its pulse
signals via the MSC800. The length of the reading area is determined in this case by the
distance of both external sensors for the start (beginning of the reading area) and stop (end
of the reading area) of the reading pulse. The minimum reading distance between two
objects must always be greater than the length of the reading area. Networking the ICR890
System to the MCS800 is carried out via the CAN interface.
Terminator
Data block in the reading result of the
Ö
Host/CAN or Ethernet interface. Serves as
completion of the preceding code data contents. Consists of reading diagnosis data and/or
constants (control characters, letters, digits). The “terminator“ block is empty in the default
setting of the ICR890 System.
Tracking operation
In this type of continuous reading pulse, several objects are simultaneously located in a row
in the reading area. For unambiguous allocation of the read codes to the objects, a
minimum gap must be maintained between two objects and band increment signals have
to be available. The ICR890 System can be used with other ICR890 Systems using the
MSC800 (e.g. unidirectional triple-side reading). The ICR890 System contains pulse signals
and increment values via the MSC800. The length of the reading area is determined in this
case by the distance of the external sensor for the beginning/end of the object at the
beginning of the reading area and the object entry point (data output) in the direction of
transport of the MSC800 at the end of the reading area. Networking the ICR890 System to
the MCS800 is carried out via the CAN interface. The ICR890 System manages recorded
objects by means of an internal object tracking list.
Upload
Transfer process of the
Ö
parameter set of the ICR890 System to the PC according to
Ö
SOPAS-ET. The SOPAS-ET Configuration Software loads a complete copy of the current
parameter set from the working memory (RAM) of the ICR890 System (

). Parameter values must be represented in the register tabs before the
current parameter set can be modified.
User interface
Windows-oriented input interfaces in the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software for operation
and configuration of the ICR890 System.
