Commissioning, operation and configuration Technicians and engineers Depth of information Note The VMS410 as well as the VMS510 will be referred to as “VMS” in the following. These operating instructions contain the following information on the VMS: • mounting •...
When used in residential areas, the device can cause radio interference. It measures cuboid objects on flat conveyor systems. • The VMS410 determines length, width and height, and calculates from this information the volume of the smallest enclosing cuboid, the box volume. •...
If the device is used for any other purpose, opened or modified in any way — also during mounting and installation — any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void. General safety notes and protective measures Safety notes Please observe the following items in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the VMS volume measurement system.
For your safety Chapter 2 Operating Instructions Volume measurement system VMS410/510 Laser warning label On the VMS410/510 volume measurement system are several laser warning labels and laser warning symbols (see Fig. Fig. 2: Laser warning labels on the VMS •...
The information on the three-dimensional object is available after the acquisition of the distance data and calculation using the velocity. • The VMS410 determines length, width and height, and calculates from this information the volume of the smallest enclosing cuboid, the box volume. •...
3.3.4 Camera focusing The VMS410/510 is able to function in an overall system for volume measurement and package identification. The overall system comprises the VMS, the camera system and a modular system controller (MSC) for processing the data and sending the data to a host.
• When using the VMS510 in standardized applications, observe the relevant national law. SICK can provide advice on this topic if required. However this advice is no substitute for legal advice. • A scale interval d 5 mm ( 0.2 in) is only possible in industrial conditions in optimal applications.

How to use the standardisation of the VMS510: Check national laws and regulations to ascertain the steps required for standardisation. SICK can provide advice on this topic if required. However this advice is no substitute for legal advice. We suggest that you attach seals to specified parts of the VMS510 and any existing accessories to protect against manipulation.
Note Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the front screen. You can prevent this effect by using the antistatic plastic cleaner (SICK Part No. 5600006) and the SICK lens cloth (Part No. 4003353). How to clean the front screen and/or the additional front screen (optional extra): Use a clean and soft brush to remove dust from the front screen.
5. Send chassis and cover for die-cast aluminium recycling. 6. Dispose of all electronic assemblies as hazardous waste. SICK AG does not accept any devices returned that have become unusable or are irreparable. Replacement of a system or replacement of components If the system or individual components are replaced, proceed as follows: 1.
Switch the VMS off and back on again. If the error is still present when the device is switched on again, check the device status with the aid of SOPAS (see 9.3.1). If errors are listed there, please contact SICK service. Detailed error analysis 9.3.1...
= 5 mm (0.2 in) is possible in industrial environments! For this reason an application must be checked by SICK before a binding statement on a scale interval can be made.
Primary data interface of the VMS with data output format that can be configured. Is used, amongother tasks, for the output of the measuring result in message format to the host/ the PLC. Used to integrate the VMS in the SICK network. Can be connected electrically as RS,232 or RS,422. Provides various transmission protocols.
