CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS
4.15.1
Ethernet interface
The Ethernet interface has a data transmission rate of 10/100 Mbit/s. The interface is
a TCP/IP interface supporting full duplex and half duplex.
The Ethernet interface allows the configuration of the Bulkscan® as well as the output
of measured values.
If your network uses static IP addresses, then you must adapt the configuration of the
Ethernet interface so that a connected PC (client) can communicate with the Bulk-
scan® via Ethernet. If you are unsure about the correct Ethernet configuration, please
contact your network administrator.

If you change the parameters for the interface via which you are connected to the sen-
sor, the connection to the sensor will be lost. You must re-establish the connection (see
"7.1.2 Establishing communication with the Bulkscan®“ on page 61).
To connect the electrical interface, (see "6.2.2 Ethernet interface connection“ on page
4.15.2
Serial host interface
The Serial host interface is an RS-232/RS-422 interface (RS-422 only Bulkscan®
LMS511). The host interface permits the configuration of the Bulkscan® LMS511 and
Bulkscan® LMS111 and limited output of measured values.
The interface parameters are freely configurable.

group.
The factory setting for the host interface is as follows:
• 57,600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity bit
The data transmission rate of the RS-232/RS-422 interfaces (RS-422 only Bulkscan®
LMS511) is limited to 57,600 baud. Therefore these interfaces are not suitable for
transmitting scan data in real time.
If you change the parameters for the interface via which you are connected to the sen-
sor, the connection to the sensor will be lost. You must re-establish the connection (see
"7.1.2 Establishing communication with the Bulkscan®“ on page 61).
To connect the electrical interface, (see "6.2.4 Serial interface connection of Bullk-
4.15.3
Serial auxiliary interface/USB on Bulkscan® LMS511
The Mini-USB Interface permits the direct configuration of the Bulkscan®.
•
Configuration via USB is only possible if you have installed the USB driver during the
installation of the SOPAS configuration software. This is the case with the default
installation.
• Parameters can then also be changed via USB, if the Bulkscan® is connected to a
host via another interface. Only the changes last saved in the sensor are retained.
