5 Communication
5.1 Possibilities of image- / data transfer and archiving
The SBS is able to communicate and exchange data via different communication channels with a PLC, I/O
extension or a PC. It´s possible to send data on request or cyclical from the SBSto a PLC/PC. But the
PLC/PC can also actively communicate with the SBS , for e.g. only on demand / request to get result- or
settings- data or to do a job switch.
The physically available communication interfaces are:
l
Ethernet
l
RS422
Via Ethernet also the fieldbus interface Ethernet/IP is supported. Via RS422 and the according interface
converter the fieldbus Profibus is supported.
A complete overview about all available telegrams you find in chapter
Serial Communication ASCII (Page

In the following pages the function and the according settings how to use the different possibilities to
communicate with a SBS is illustrated in a few examples.
The following examples show how to work on the PC end with a Serial- and Ethernet- software- tool.
Here the tool “Hercules” is used. This tool and the settings made here are examples for your PC- or PLC
application, and all settings necessary you can see in these examples. If you also like to use the tool
- produced by
, you can download as freeware.
5.1.1 Ethernet, Port 2005 / 2006
Numerical data, which has been defined under Output/Telegram, now can be transferred in ASCII- or
Binary- format.
The sensor here is the (socket-) “server" and serves the Data via a „server-socket" interface. This is
basically a “programming interface”. To read or process the Data a “socket client" (PC, PLC, ....) must
establish a (socket-) connection (active) to the sensor.
Handling, settings
5.1.1.1 Ethernet example 1: Pure data output from SBS to PC / PLC
Step 1:
After the job with all necessary detectors, if so alignment is set up, here the Ethernet interface get´s
activated and if necessary it´s parameter are set also.
