Installation of SOPAS Engineering Tool
7.1.1
Installation process
NOTE
Use the standard version of the software, not the portable version. Using the standard
version ensures that all SOPAS ET functions and drivers are available. For installation, it
may also be necessary to have administrator authorizations.
•
Select the installation language.
This selection only determines the language of the installation wizard. Regardless of the
selected installation language, all SOPAS ET languages can be selected subsequently.
•
Chose whether you want to have an icon on the desktop or on the Start Menu bar,
and click
Next >
.
•
Select the installation location for SOPAS ET.
It is recommended not to change the suggested location.
•
Click
Next >
.
The installation process starts. Please wait until it is fully complete and the next page
appears. The
Run SOPAS Engineering Tool
checkbox is preselected.
•
Use the
Close
button to complete the installation and launch SOPAS ET.
7.1.2
Installing the device driver
A device driver must be installed before establishing a connection with the device for
the first time. Follow the instructions provided by SOPAS ET.
7.2
Parameterization of the device
The SOPAS ET computer software is provided for safety-related parameterization.
Parameterization can be done using the following interfaces:
•
IO-Link in conjunction with the SiLink2 master
WARNING
Risk of ineffectiveness of the protective device!
•
Before establishing a connection between SOPAS ET and the device and before
beginning parameterization, ensure that the machine, plant or application in which
the device is involved as part of a safety function is in a safe state and thus not in
operation.
•
The prevention of manipulations during parameterization of the machine, plant or
application must be ensured by the user, by additional measures if necessary.
NOTE
Safety-related parameterization by means of other tools (not SOPAS ET) is not permit‐
ted.
7.2.1
Establishing the connection
Before launching SOPAS ET, a suitable cable (
) must be used
to establish a connection between the parameterization interface of the device and the
computer.
