Annex
Physical data interface. Used for building a fast SICK-specific CAN SENSOR network
with different functions (e.g., multiplexer, master/slave) or integration into existing CAN
networks according to the CANopen® protocol. Access to the MSC800 is possible for
configuration and operation via the CAN interface (network) with the aid of the SOPAS-ET
configuration software in remote mode.
Zone which an ID sensor/the MSC800 sets up with the aid of increment management and
comparing the reading angle around a moving code. Allows, among other things, for the
separation of codes with identical content with the same code type.
Human machine interface to the MSC800 as an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration
software.
The command strings form a clearly structured command language for the online
modification of the parameter value set in the MSC800. They directly access the command
interpreter of the MSC800. Used by the host for programming work as needed.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software is based on the command strings.
Project file of the SOPAS-ET configuration software, in which either only one complete
parameter value set of a device is saved or, if several devices are combined for a project,
a complete parameter set is saved for each device for archiving on the PC.
The project file can be printed out in table form, transferred to the clipboard, and provided
as a PDF.
Structured data telegram of the
read result in two independent data output formats,
which prepares the MSC800 from its database for issuing.
The output formats can each be issued via
host interfaces (HOST 1/2), optionally to
the physical data interfaces RS-232 / RS-422/485, Ethernet, or CAN. The structure of
the output formats is flexible (sequence of the code segments and elements, linking
with event conditions, filter, sorter, etc.) and can be adjusted, within wide limits, to
the application-specific requirements. The data output format of the
Aux interfaces
(AUX 1/2) for the reading result (diagnosis), on the other hand, cannot be changed.
Assessment routine, dependent on the code type, for the reconstruction of the read code
in electronic form, in order to decrypt the data content from the code.
Process of transmitting parameter values, using the SOPAS-ET configuration software,
from the PC to the connected MSC800.
In the “Online” communication mode, in the case of the “Immediate download” option
(default), SOPAS-ET always automatically temporarily transfers parameter values that have
just been modified to the working memory (RAM) of the MSC800 in the background. With
this option, the current parameter values in the MSC800 are constantly synchronized with
the modifications made in the user interface.
With the “Download on demand” option, however, the adjustment is carried out manually
and is the user's responsibility. If non-synchronized statuses occur for individual parameter
values between SOPAS-ET and the connected MSC800, then SOPAS-ET marks these
parameters with a blue border.
By right-clicking in the context menu, the modified parameter value of a tab (transfer
parameters to the device) can be manually transferred to the MSC800 when needed.
