SICK MICS3-ABAZ55IZ1P01 Safety Laser Scanner

SICK microScan3 Core EtherNet/IP Scanner

Product Introduction

The MICS3-ABAZ55IZ1P01 is a safety laser scanner from the SICK microScan3 Core family, configured for EtherNet/IP networks. This model provides a protective field range of 5.5 m and a warning field range of 40 m. Because it uses CIP Safety over EtherNet/IP, the device sends safety outputs directly through the network. As a result, wiring becomes simpler and diagnostics improve. The scanner ships with a pre-mounted system plug on the underside, so commissioning starts quickly after unboxing.

Technical Specifications

The device achieves Type 3 per IEC 61496, SIL 2 per IEC 61508, and PL d per EN ISO 13849. Its scanning angle spans 275°, and the angular resolution is 0.39°. Users can configure the resolution among 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 70 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm options. The response time is 95 ms, and the protective field supplement measures 65 mm. Additionally, the scanner supports up to 4 simultaneously monitored fields across 8 field sets and 8 monitoring cases.

Functions and Interfaces

Beyond basic detection, the scanner offers restart interlock, multiple sampling, and monitoring case switching. It also supports simultaneous monitoring, static protective field switching, and safe contour detection. Contour as a reference adds another layer of reliability. For configuration, engineers use the SICK Safety Designer software over USB or Ethernet. The network side provides EtherNet/IP with CIP Safety, plus DHCP, SNMP, and SNTP services. Meanwhile, DLR topology support improves network resilience.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The housing uses aluminum with a yellow (RAL 1021) and black (RAL 9005) finish. Dimensions are 112 mm x 150.7 mm x 111.1 mm without the system plug, and the weight is 1.45 kg. The optics cover is polycarbonate with a scratch-resistant external coating. For power, the unit needs 24 V DC (16.8 V to 30 V DC) and draws typically 7.2 W. Environmental protection includes IP65, ambient light immunity up to 40 klx, and an operating temperature range of -10 °C to +50 °C.

Installation Guide

First, mount the scanner so the scan plane covers the hazard zone without obstruction. Next, connect the M12 4-pin A-coded male connector for voltage supply. Then, attach the two M12 4-pin D-coded female connectors for the EtherNet/IP network. After power-up, launch Safety Designer and load the configuration through the Mini-USB or Ethernet port. Finally, verify field sets and monitoring cases, then test the CIP Safety outputs before normal operation.
