3.4.2 Object trigger control
In order to initiate a reading process, the ICR890 System requires an appropriate signal
(trigger). The start signal is emitted via an external reading pulse sensor (photoelectric
reflex switch) as standard. As soon as an object has passed the reading pulse sensor, an
“internal reading gate“ opens for the reading process.
Alternatively, a command activates the reading process via a data interface or the CAN-
SENSOR network.
The trigger source can be configured using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software:

ROJECT TREE, ICR890, PARAMETER, READING CONFIGURATION, OBJECT TRIGGER CONTROL, register
tab S
TART/STOP OF OBJECT TRIGGER
3.4.3 Focus control
For dynamic focus control, the ICD890 Camera requires continuous information on the
distance to the object surface. This data is provided by a lateral MLG Light Grid for readings
from above. The object dimensions are taken from the VMS4xx/5xx Volume Measurement
System and processed via the MSC800 for readings from the side.
The SOPAS-ET Configuration Software can, among other things, be used to configure
features, such as the default position and the source of the distance measurement:

ROJECT TREE, ICR890, PARAMETER, READING CONFIGURATION, FOCUS CONTROL, register tabs
O
PTIONS and DISTANCE MEASUREMENT SOURCE
3.4.4 Illumination control
The area which is to be read must be illuminated with a high-performance LED illumination
when recording with the camera. The ICI890 Illumination produces a thin red illuminated
area (wavelength λ = 620 nm).
During reading from above, the light is deflected onto the conveyor system using the
deflection mirror.
