2.2 Applications of the system
The Master Data Analyzer is a stationary DWS system (Dimensioning-Weighing-Scanning).
It enables master data for products to be logged in a standardized manner for goods entry
or shipping. The products are measured, weighed, identified, and visualized in a single
operation. Data are processed in real time, regardless of their shape, surface, and
material properties.
Operating modes
The Master Data Analyzer is set up at the factory to support two operating modes:
• Operating mode with bar code scanning: The object is identified using its bar code
and is then measured. In this case, the Master Data Analyzer supplies the complete set
of master data with bar code, weight, and dimensions.
• Operating mode without bar code scanning. This variant assumes that the bar code
for the object is already available, meaning that only the weights and dimensions have
to be logged. The measurement results are assigned to an existing bar code in the
customer’s system.

WARNING
Note
Brief description
• The object is placed on a rugged glass plate. The object does not need to be aligned.
• In the operating mode with bar code scanning, the object is identified using a wired bar
code scanner. Electronic scales measure the weight of the object.
In the operating mode without bar code scanning, the measuring process starts with
the system detecting a stable weight value. There is no hand-held scanner.
• To measure the dimensions, a gantry with two pairs of light grids is moved manually
over the object using two linear guides. Measurements can be taken in both directions.
The object’s dimensions and volume are measured.
• The data are sent to the warehouse management system in a stationary solution via
Ethernet. An external PC or screen is not required. In the mobile variant of the Master
Data Analyzer, the data are sent via a WLAN access point.
• All system components are pre-assembled in a rugged industrial design and are ready
for operation immediately after commissioning.
The majority of the images and screenshots in these operating instructions visualize the
Master Data Analyzer in the operating mode with bar code scanning.
2.3 Intended use
The Master Data Analyzer may only be used as described in 2.2 Applications of the
system. It may only be used by qualified personnel in the environment in which it was
mounted and initially commissioned by qualified safety personnel in accordance with
these operating instructions.
The equipment may only be operated in an industrial environment. Operation of the
system is not allowed outdoors or in an explosion-protected environment.
If used in any other way or if alterations are made to the system or the devices are
opened – including in the context of mounting and installation – this will void any warranty
claims directed to SICK AG.
Examples of non-intended use:
• Measurement of products not defined in the contract or in these operating instructions.
• Non-observance of the permitted parameters for measuring objects.
• Failure to observe the operating instructions.
• Use of parts other than original spare parts.
Danger due to improper use
Non-intended use of the device can lead to danger to the life and limb of persons and
damage to the plant.
The device must only be used for the intended use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | Master Data Analyzer
The horizontal light grid’s is mounted on the frame underneath the glass plate with the
receiver above it. This minimizes any interference caused by ambient light or dirt. The
beam from the lower light grid passes through the glass plate to the upper light grid. The
vertical light grid’s sender is secured to the frame with two handles.
Wire draw encoder
Fig. 7: Measurement gantry with light grids
A wire draw encoder mounted in the housing interior supplies the positional data of the
light grids above the object which is required for measuring lengths. The encoder
transfers the linear movement obtained from the path of the measurement gantry into a
rotational movement. The drum rotation, which is proportional to the length, is output to
the controller via corresponding incremental signals regarding the exact positioning of the
light grids.

3.3 The system’s operating principle
The Master Data Analyzer is designed for stationary and mobile use, depending on the
system variant.
In the stationary variant, the Master Data Analyzer is placed at a fixed location and
connected (e.g., at the receiving work station). With the mobile variant, data can be
recorded at any chosen location (e.g., right on the high-bay racking). A WLAN adapter
must be connected in this case.
The measurement process depends on the operating mode in question.
Fig. 14: Measurement process for each operating mode
In the operating mode with bar code scanning, the measuring process starts once the
object has been placed on the measurement field and the bar code has been scanned.
The volume and weight are then measured in one procedure.
In the operating mode without bar code scanning, the measuring process starts with the
weight measurement. The volume cannot be measured until a stable weight value is
present.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | Master Data Analyzer
Placing an object in the measurement field
The measurement object is placed in the clear-glass area of the glass plate. This area
marks the measurement field, i.e., the area in which the object can be captured by the
light grids. If the object, or any part of it, is outside of the measurement field (in the opal
glass area) an error message will be issued.
Fig. 15: Marked measurement field on the glass panel
Bar code reading (only for operating mode with bar code scanning)
The wired hand-held scanner identifies the object and transmits the shipping number to
the controller. The scanner creates a scan line on the object to read the bar code using a
red light. The bar code that is read is then shown on the display.
Fig. 16: Operating principle – bar code reading
Note
The bar code can also be entered manually using the display.
Weight measurement (only for operating mode with bar code scanning)
In the operating mode without bar code scanning, the measuring process starts with the
system detecting a stable weight value. Bar codes cannot be scanned or processed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | Master Data Analyzer

Measuring the volume
The volume measurement is carried out if a valid bar code or stable weight value is
available.
To do so, the light grids mounted on the measurement gantry are manually moved over
the measurement object using the two linear guides. Measurements can be taken in both
directions, stopped whilst doing so, and then recommenced.
If the monitoring field is interrupted by an object, the shadowing and the resulting number
of interrupted light beams on the receiver lines can be used to detect the profile of the
object.
The change in the number of beams on the receiver lines as a result of the shadowing is
transmitted via the light grids’ interfaces to the MSC800 as a digital signal.
Two-dimensional cross sections are created by moving the light grids across the object.
The controller then combines the individual 2D cross sections of the object.
Fig. 17: Operating principle – volume measurement
By taking into consideration the speed with which the measurement gantry is moved
across the object and the respective position of the light grids above the object, a spatial
image is produced which is used to calculate the smallest possible cuboid which could
surround the object as well as its volume.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS | Master Data Analyzer
Weighing process
In the operating mode with bar code scanning, the weighing process takes place in
parallel to the volume measurement; in the operating mode without bar code scanning,
the weight is calculated once the object has been positioned, i.e., before the volume
measurement.
The weighing cells determine the weight of the object by using the four recording points at
the corners of the glass panel whilst the object is situated on the glass panel.
The electronic scales use weighing cells with strain gauges to bear the weight to be
measured. Strain gauges are metallic conductors which convert mechanical actions of
force into an electronic signal. Strain gauge weighing cells use the physical principle that
an electrical conductor changes its electrical resistance as a result of mechanical
changes.
Fig. 18: Operating principle – Weighing process
If a load is placed on the glass panel, this causes the strain gauges to deform. As a result
of this deformation causing the resistance in the strain gauges to change, the weight of
the load can be determined by using the electronic scales. The greater the deformation,
the greater the resistance due to the strain and, as a result, the heavier the weight of the
measured object.
In order to achieve maximum measurement accuracy, the electronic signal resulting from
the change in resistance is converted to a digital signal by an integrated A/D converter
(analog-digital transducer).
The weight recorded is then shown on the display. It is added to the bar code already
displayed.
If the weight value of an object is outside of the pre-configured absolute limit values, this
is output as an error in the measurement report.

Visualization of measurement results
All of the measurement data recorded by the MDA is constantly shown on the display. The
measurement is additionally displayed in the form of a 2D visualization.
If the MDA650 Image / MDA 800 Image system variant is in use, the symbol for the live
display appears on the right, next to the measurement field.
Fig. 19: Operating principle – Visualization of measurement results
Output of measured values
All information converges in the MSC800 central control unit. The MSC800 processes the
encoder signals and assigns the measurement results from the individual systems to the
respective object.
Depending on the system variant, the output of measured values are sent to the higherlevel customer system via Ethernet (LAN) or via a WLAN access point.
When using the MDA650 Image/MDA800 Image), a photo-realistic image of the
measuring object can be emitted with the measurement results.
Note
• In the operating mode with bar code scanning, the measurement results are stored
temporarily during the output of measured values if the device is not connected to
the customer server. This allows multiple measurements to be carried out in sequence,
even without a connection. Data are transmitted automatically as soon as the
connection is available again.
• In the operating mode without bar code scanning, the data must be transferred directly
after the measurement otherwise the data cannot be allocated to the bar code in
the customer system. The temporary storage of measurement results is not supported.

7.3 Performing measurements
7.3.1 Starting the measurement process
The start of the measurement process will vary depending on whether you are using the
measurement system with or without bar code scanning.
7.3.1.1 Scanning the bar code (only for the operating mode with bar code scanning)
If you are using the operating mode with bar code scanning, the measurement process
starts as soon as a valid bar code is detected. The bar code can be scanned with the
hand-held scanner or entered manually.
The bar code is the starting signal for a new measurement process. When the bar code is
scanned, the system generates a new measurement data set. The bar code and the
measured values recorded in the subsequent measurement are assigned to this data set.
Scanning bar code
1. Position the object to be measured in the measurement field, as described above.
2. Remove the hand-held scanner from its holder.
3. Position the hand-held scanner towards the object.
4. Hold down the trigger on the scanner’s handle to activate the light source for the
scanner.

7.9.2.2 Correcting the zero point
Using the Tare button enables you to manually correct the zero point of the electronic
scales.
The zero-point correction process is intended to prevent dirt or other deposits on the
measurement platform from distorting the measurement result. It also helps to eliminate
smaller measuring tolerances when weighing.
Tap the Tare button in the configuration window.
▸
The weight displayed on the weighing scales display should now be exactly zero.
Note
7.9.2.3 Performing teach-in
For the zero-point correction, only the display on the weighing scales is of significance.
The current weight values shown on the display are not affected by the zero-point
correction. The weight on the display is always zeroed when the bar code is scanned.
OPERATION 7
A teach-in must be performed following any maintenance or repairs, such as changing a
light grid. During the teach-in process, the switching thresholds for all beams are
individually adjusted for the sensing range and the ambient conditions. This enables
teach-in of the optimum sensitivity of the light grids.
Prerequisites
Before launching teach-in, ensure that the following requirements have been met.
Beforehand, clean the front screen of the light grids.
▸
Remove all objects from the light grids’ monitored area. No objects should be located
▸
in the light path during the teach-in.

authorized service personnel from SICK AG.
Disconnect the power to the system
Make sure the voltage supply for the Master Data Analyzer is disconnected while you
▸
are carrying out maintenance and repairs.
Remove the plug from the power outlet to disconnect the voltage supply.
▸
Risk of injury due to electrical current
The Master Data Analyzer is connected to the power supply (AC 100 to 264 V/50 to 60 Hz).
Only a qualified electrician or trained person working under the guidance and supervision
of a qualified electrician is permitted to work on electrical systems or equipment, and they
must comply with the electrical regulations.
Improper handling of live devices may lead to severe personal injury or death by electric
shock.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS 8
Measures
Electrical installation and maintenance work must only be performed by electrically
▸
qualified personnel.
Standard safety requirements must be met when carrying out any work on electrical
▸
systems or equipment.
Do not touch any live parts.
▸
In the event of danger, immediately disconnect the device from the grid.
