NOTICE
In this chapter, the operation of the sensor from the control panel or via the SOPAS con‐
figuration software is described.
The SOPAS ET software can be downloaded from the following link:
www.sick.com/de/en/sopas-engineering-tool-2018/p/p367244
The driver for this product can be found at
.
This chapter will first describe how to operate the sensor from the control panel.
Some additional settings that are not available from the control panel are described in
see "Additional settings via SOPAS", page 23

6.1
Edge teach-in and area teach-in
By default, the detection of edges also works without teach-in. The sensor detects the
first edge in the reading field starting from the male connector side. The sensor
switches as soon as an edge is detected in the reading field and outputs this as a posi‐
tion value.
If a teach-in has been performed, only the taught-in edges are detected and their posi‐
tion values outputted. This can increase the process reliability in some applications.
To commission the device, it is necessary to accurately align the device as described in
see "Mounting the device", page 12
