Operation with SOPAS ET
Version 3.3.3 and higher of the SOPAS Engineering Tool (SOPAS ET) software can be
used for parameterization of the device and for service and diagnostic purposes.
To configure the device, you will require a computer with SOPAS ET installed and a
free Ethernet connection. Alternatively, the connection can be established via a USB
connection using an Ethernet USB adapter.
NOTE
The most up-to-date version of the SOPAS ET software can be downloaded from
. The respective system requirements for installing SOPAS
ET are also specified there.
1.
Connect the communication interface (Ethernet, 4-pin M12 female connector) of
the device to the computer.
2.
Switch on and start the computer.
3.
Supply the device with voltage (5-pin M12 male connector, supply voltage
10 … 30 V DC).
✓
After successful initialization, the two status LEDs light up green. The device is
ready for use.
NOTE
To use SOPAS ET with the device, you need a device description file (SDD, SOPAS
Device Description) for this device. You can install this within SOPAS ET using the
device catalog. The device description file is saved on the device and can be installed
there. Alternatively, installation is possible from the SICK website (Internet connection
required).
Following installation of the device description file, the device can be selected from the
device catalog and added to a project.
A connection to the device is established via the communication interface. The connec‐
tion must be activated for data transmission (
online
).
Certain functions (e.g., Edit parameters) require you to be logged in to the device (
