The ICR890 High-end CCD Camera System is an intelligent sensor for the automatic
recognition and decoding of 1-D/2-D codes on moving objects in a reading station.
In combination with the MSC800 modular system controller, the ICR890 System is used as
a stand-alone device for single-side reading, e.g. from above or from the side. For a similarly
possible multi-side reading on the conveyor system, the corresponding number of systems
is combined with other SICK bar code scanners and with the co-coordinating MSC800.
The intended use of the system results from the following description of the system
components and their functions:
•The system consists of the ICD890 Camera, the ICI890 Illumination and a deflection
mirror. The ICD890 Camera is installed in a frame together with the ICI890 Illumination
as a unit parallel to the deflection mirror, either above the conveyor system (reading
from above) or at the side (side reading).
•The necessary object distance information is contained in the ICR890 System either by
an MLG Light Grid (in the case of readings from above) or by a VMS4xx/5xx Volume
Measurement System for focus control during
•The ICR890 System transfers the reading data via its HOST main data interface (serial
RS 232, RS 422/485, Ethernet or CAN), with optionally selectable diagnosis data, to a
superordinate host processor for further processing.
The ICR890 System transfers its data via the CAN interface to the MSC800, in
combination with the MSC800. The data can then be accessed from the HOST data
interface.
•The processed image information of the ICD890 Camera is located on two fast GBit
Ethernet channels. The image information can be transferred to the client display at
extremely high data transfer rates on a special PC with compatible GBit Ethernet
interface cards and GigE Vision Standard licence (real time image data transfer). The
high image quality also allows use in OCR and video coding applications.
•Configuration/Operation of the ICR890 System is carried out as standard via the AUX
auxiliary data interface (serial RS 232 or Ethernet) using the SOPAS-ET Configuration
Software, which runs on a standard client PC. Alternatively, the configuration can also
be carried out via the PC connection to the MSC800 (serial RS 232 or Ethernet).
Any warranty claims against SICK AG shall be deemed invalid in the case of other system
use or system modifications, this includes modifications during installation and electrical
installation or changes to the SICK software.
NoteThe ICD890 Camera and ICI890 Illumination must not be opened. If the devices are
opened, the manufacturer's warranty shall not apply.
2.3General safety precautions and protection measures
¾ Read the general safety precautions thoroughly and observe them during all ICR890
System activities. Also observe the warning notices above the operational instructions
of each chapter.
2.3.1Radio interferences
RF interference in case of use in residential areas.
¾ ICR890 High-end CCD Camera System is exclusively intended for use in an industrial
environment.
2.3.2Installation work
Risk of injuries due to falling components!
The combined weight of the ICD890 Camera and the ICI890 Illumination is approx. 37 kg
(81.6 lb) without installation accessories.
¾ Do not carry out installation work alone.
¾ A second person should always secure components during installation.
2.3.3Electrical installation work
Risk of injuries due to electrical current!
Connect the MSC800 Controller to the mains power supply (100 to 264 V AC/50 to 60 Hz).
¾ Observe current safety regulations when working with electrical equipment.
2.3.4LED radiation from the ICI890 Illumination
Output opening
Fig. 2-1: LED radiation outlet opening
LED radiation escapes from the entire front window of the ICI890 Illumination.
NoteThe ICI890 Illumination works with LEDs on the λ = 620 nm (red light) wavelength.
Safety information
ICR890 High-end CCD Camera System
Class 1M LED radiation (in accordance with EN/IEC 60825-1)!
Incorrect use can result in hazardous radiation exposure and the LED class being
exceeded!
The accessible radiation of the ICI890 Illumination is not hazardous under reasonably
foreseeable conditions, provided that the beam width is not reduced by optical instruments,
e.g. magnifying glass, lenses or telescopes. Visual glare, loss of colour vision and eye
injuries cannot be ruled out.
The entire window surface is the LED radiation outlet opening.
¾ Do not look directly into the radiation source with optical instruments.
¾ Do not open the housing. (The illumination is not switched off if the housing is opened).
¾ Always observe the latest valid version of laser protection regulations.
The radiation emitted is not harmful to human skin.
Regular maintenance is not required to ensure compliance with laser class 1M.
The ICI890 Illumination operates as follows:
•The reading pulse (pulse source) controls the on and off mechanism of the LED
illumination during the reading process. The LEDs are switched on in pulsed mode
during the reading operation depending on the reading gate duration.
•A time stage (illumination timeout) automatically switches off the illumination during
the reading operation after 3 seconds (default setting) following the start of a
continuous reading pulse. This, however, does not switch off the reading pulse. The
reading pulse should be stopped via a relevant pulse signal. The next reading pulse
switches the illumination back on.
•The illumination timeout can be set or switched off within a range of 3 s to 25 h. For
safety reasons, the minimum illumination power on time is 3 seconds.
2.4Quick stop and quick start
The ICR890 System is operated via the MSC800 Controller as standard and can be
switched on and off using the controller main switch.
2.4.1Switch off the ICR890 System
¾ Switch off the power supply of the MSC800.
When the system is switched off the following data is lost:
•Application-specific parameter sets in the ICR890 System and in the MSC800
Controller which were only temporarily saved in the devices
•The last reading result of the ICR890 System
•Daily operating hours counter of the ICR890 System
2.4.2Switch on the ICR890 System
¾ Switch on the power supply of the MSC800 again.
The ICR890 System starts up using the most recent permanently saved configuration.
The daily operating hours counter is reset.
The ICR890 System has been constructed with minimum environmental pollution in mind.
Excluding the housing, the system does not contain any materials using silicone.
2.5.1Energy requirements
The ICR890 System is electrically powered via the MSC800 Controller as standard
(functional extra-low voltage in accordance with IEC 364-4-41).
The following power consumption details apply to the system components and the
controller:
•ICD890 Camera: typically 75 W with 24 V DC ± 10 % (via MSC800 power supply)
•ICI890 Illumination: typically 350 W with 24 V DC ± 10 % (via MSC800 power supply)
•MSC800-0000 logic controller: typically 10 W with 24 V DC ± 10 %
2.5.2Dispose of the device after decommissioning
At present SICK AG will not accept the return of any devices which can no longer be
operated or repaired.
¾ Inoperable or irreparable devices must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner and in accordance with valid country-specific waste disposal guidelines.
The design of the ICR890 System allows for its separation as recyclable secondary raw
materials and hazardous waste (electronic scrap).
Please see Chapter 7.4 Disposal, page 95.
NoteThe battery on the internal PC card of the ICD890 Camera must be removed before the
device is scrapped.
¾ Dispose of the battery separately in accordance with ROHS regulations (Europe).
