NOTE
The most up-to-date version of the SOPAS ET software can be downloaded at
. The respective system requirements for installing SOPAS
ET are also specified there.
NOTE
To use SOPAS ET with the sensor you need a device description file (SDD) for this
sensor. You can install this within SOPAS ET using the device catalog. An Internet
connection is required to install the SDD file.
NOTE
The sensor immediately applies parameters that have been modified using SOPAS ET
and permanently saves them. This does not require calling up a separate function.
6.3.3
Operation via SOPASair (Wi-Fi)
The “SOPASair” app is available for sensor versions with a Wi-Fi interface. The app is
available for the Android and Apple iOS operating system platforms. It is installed via
the corresponding store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS). The
app can be found in either store under the name “SOPASair”.
NOTE
The app will be displayed in the store only if the terminal device used meets the system
requirements.
NOTE
It is not possible to establish a connection to the sensor via Wi-Fi using SOPAS ET.
6.3.4
Operation via IO-Link
The DT50-2 sensor can exchange process data and parameters via IO-Link. To do so,
the sensor is connected to a suitable IO-Link master.
The IO-Link interface of the DT50-2 sensor has the following properties:

Process data
In the factory settings, the process data telegram displays the distance value measured
by the sensor in millimeters (16-bit width unsigned).
By configuring the parameters of the sensor (
) you can
change the process data format as well as resolution and offset for the distance value.
The following process data formats are available:
