Analysis fields
Using the integrated field application, you can configure up to ten evaluation fields with
the PRO version and up to four fields with the Lite version. The size and shape of these
evaluation fields are (almost) freely configurable.

Dynamic evaluation field
The evaluation fields can be drawn with SOPAS ET according to the needs of your
application. Evaluation fields can have the following properties:
•
Polygon
•
Square
•
Beginning on device
•
With distance to device (“island field”)
•
Dynamic, i.e. the length varies according to the speed detected by the encoder,
(LMS5xx PRO/Heavy Duty only)
You configure the evaluation fields in SOPAS ET:

If the area to be monitored changes, the field can be easily reconfigured using the
SOPAS ET configuration software.

Evaluation cases
An evaluation case determines which evaluation field is evaluated in which way and on
which output it acts.
With the LMS5xx PRO/Heavy Duty, you can configure up to ten evaluation cases, while
the LMS5xx Lite enables up to four evaluation cases.
For each evaluation case, configure in SOPAS ET:
