SICK MSC800-0000 Sensor Accessory

The SICK MSC800-0000 is the logic unit at the heart of the MSC800 Track and Trace Controller family (part number 1040571). It handles data output, parameter setup, and analyses for multi-sensor networks in SICK track-and-trace installations, functioning as the central control and communication hub for connected sensors. It operates from a 24 V DC supply and typically draws 10 W, with a mix of serial, Ethernet, and field-bus interfaces: four serial ports (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485), three Ethernet ports, one PROFIBUS DP interface, and two CAN bus connections, plus USB and a service interface for maintenance. I/O comprises fourteen digital switching inputs, four digital outputs, and two relay outputs to suit distributed sensing and actuation across a production line. Supported data protocols include SICK standard, TCP/IP, PROFIBUS DP, and CANopen, with serial data rates from 0.3 kBaud to 115.2 kBaud, CAN at 20 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s, and Ethernet at 10/100 MBit/s. Status indicators are provided by LEDs across modules: 2 per power-supply module, 6 on the fuse module, and 48 on the logic unit. The MSC800 is designed for modular sensor integration and analyses in manufacturing environments. Note that MSC800-0000 is discontinued for new projects as of August 2, 2025, with repair/spare-part support through August 1, 2029. Typical MTBF is listed greater than 80,000 hours and MTTR is less than 5 minutes per component.
