General safety notes
CAUTION
Risk of damage due to incorrect adapter cable!
The programming tool must only be used with the designated adapter cables (
). Other adapter cables are not permitted. Otherwise, this could result in
damage to the programming tool or the encoder.
CAUTION
Risk of damage!
The programming tool must only be used with SICK Stegmann GmbH encoders. Using
other encoders could damage the programming tool and/or the encoder itself.
CAUTION
Risk of damage due to incorrect adapter cable!
Always use the correct adapter cable or the correct spring terminal block connections.
Otherwise, the programming tool and/or encoder will be damaged.
CAUTION
Risk of damage due to electrical charging!
When connecting an encoder, make sure you are grounded. Static charges can damage
the programming tool and/or the encoder.
CAUTION
Risk of damage!
The programming tool is supplied with voltage exclusively via the USB interface. Under
no circumstances an external voltage supply should be connected! The connection of
an external voltage supply damages the programming tool, the encoder and the
connected PC.

PGT-08-S hardware and SOPAS product combination
The combination of the PGT-08-S hardware and SOPAS allows the user to quickly and
efficiently prepare programmable SICK Stegmann GmbH encoders for use or carry out
configurations.
For this purpose, the PGT-08-S hardware is connected to a computer via a USB connec-
tion, so that the interface of the encoder concerned can be read out or reprogrammed.
Both incremental and absolute encoders can be connected easily via different adapter
cables or the spring terminal block.
The SOPAS development environment integrates the programming environment for the
PGT-08-S hardware.
A suitable adapter cable is also required for use (
