1.2.1 Designated users
This Technical Information is aimed at qualified persons familiar with the MCS300P and
who, based on their device-specific training and knowledge of the device as well as knowl-
edge of the relevant regulations, can assess the tasks given and recognize the dangers
involved.
1.2.2 Special local conditions
Follow all local laws, regulations and company-internal operating directives applicable at
the respective installation location of the equipment.
This Manual is valid for the MCS300P and MCS300P-Ex.
It is only valid in combination with the "Operating Instructions MCS300P" or

2.1 Functional principle
MCS300P is a non-dispersive process photometer.
Fig. 1 Beam path
●Depending on the device type, the radiation source used is an IR or VIS radiator.
●The measuring beam goes through the sample cell and is specifically absorbed
depending on the sample gas composition.
●Interference and gas filters swiveled into the beam path on filter wheels select the
measurement wavelength.
●The detector receives the successive measurement and reference radiation.
– With the measuring filter swiveled in, the signal depends on the sample gas compo-
sition.
– With the reference filter swiveled in, a concentration-independent signal is gener-
ated.
By computation of both signals, the MCS300P determines the measured variable
"absorption” which is then, to a wide extent, independent from the changes of the opti-
cal characteristics of the photometer.
After correction of possible disturbance variables, the determined absorption is con-
verted to the concentration value via the linearization function.
●As an option, a filter wheel with an internal adjustment standard is available which sim-
ulates a test with a test medium.

2.2 SOPAS ET (PC program)
SOPAS ET can be used to set the MCS300P parameters and provides access to the
MCS300P logbook.
SOPAS ET runs on an external PC connected via the Ethernet interface to the MCS300P
(MCS300P Operating Instructions).
2.2.1 Modbus-TCP
Modbus®is a communication standard for digital controls to connect a »Master« device
with several »Slave« devices. The Modbus protocol defines the communication commands
only but not their electronic transfer; therefore it can be used with different digital inter-
faces (for MCS300P: Ethernet).
Configuration: →p. 30, §3.5.3.3
2.2.2 OPC (option)
OPC is a standardized software interface that allows to exchange data between different
applications.
The SICK OPC server (part of SOPAS ET) is required.
System bus: Ethernet.
Configuration: →p. 30, §3.5.3.3

3.1 SOPAS ET (Description)
Operator menus and measured value displays are also available on an external PC via Eth-
ernet for user comfort (with the engineering tool SOPAS ET).
The SICK Open Portal for Applications and Systems (SOPAS) is an engineering tool for com-
munication with analyzers and sensors.
SOPAS is based on the following techniques:
●Device communication via Ethernet (TCP/IP).
●A common engineering tool for the various product lines.
●Universal device description file as the data source for all relevant device data and
parameters required for communication and display.

3.3 Measuring Screen
Menu: Measuring
3.3.1 Measuring Screen 1 .. x
Menu: Measuring/Measuring Screen 1 .. x
Depending on the parameters set, the Measuring Screen is shown as measuring box, bar
graph or line writer.
Measuring box
The measured values are shown numerically in the measuring box.
Bar graph
The measured values are shown as a graphic bar in the bar graph.
Parameter settings of Measuring Screens: →p. 26, §3.5.2
Scaling of Measuring Screens: →p. 19, §3.3.1.1
Only the Measuring Screens are shown for which parameters have
been set.
▸ Double-click the desired Measuring Screen.

Line writer and data storage
The measured values are shown numerically as measuring box and as time diagram in the
line writer.
Data memory functions
▸ Start:
Start data storage.
The data for which parameters have been set are saved (independent from the graphic
representation) (→p. 28, §3.5.2.3).
Max. 65536 entries per curve are saved in a file, afterwards a new file (with ascending
index) is automatically created.
▸ A dialog field to enter a target file (.txt) is displayed
The following is shown above the line diagram:
▸ Stop:
Stop recording.
▸ View:
View the recorded data.
A dialog field to select the file with the saved values is shown.
The following is then shown above the line diagram:
▸ Reset:
Delete all shown lines (no effect on data storage).
Measuring box
Line writer
The measured values that
have been activated are
shown (→p. 19, §3.3.1.1).
The line writer starts with the
representation only when the
display is called up for the
first time.
Changing the user level
deletes the history of the line
display.

3.4 Diagnosis
3.4.1 Control value
3.4.1.1 Zero drift
Menu: Diagnosis/Control values/Zero drift
3.4.1.2 Reference energy
Menu: Diagnosis/Control values/Reference energy
3.4.1.3 Intensity
Menu: Diagnosis/Control values/Intensity
The intensities (energies) and amplification levels of the measured components are shown
in this menu.
Leave the evaluation of this information to SICK Customer Service.
The zero drift since the last "Reset” of the zero
drift (e.g., during maintenance) is shown and
reset in this menu.
The zero drift is recalculated during each zero
adjustment and displayed in Absorption.
This value can be used for system diagnosis.
Typical cause: Decrease in lamp energy, contami-
nation of cell windows.
▸ Reset the zero drift
The current reference energy (in percent) is
shown and reset in this menu.
This value is monitored automatically. If the value
is below a limit value (default: 60%), the
MCS300P switches to the "Maintenance request”
classification.
Typical cause: Contamination of the cell windows.
