4.1.2

 

SOPASair (web server) 

The device is set up and parameterized using the SOPASair operating software. 

You can call up the operating software with a web browser (recommendation: Google 

Chrome). No installation of software is required. The device must be supplied with 

voltage and connected to the computer via the Ethernet interface in order to use 

the SOPASair web server. 

Starting SOPASair 

1.

 

Start web browser (recommendation: Google Chrome). 

2.

 

Enter the device IP address into the address line. 

 

The SOPASair user interface appears. 

4.1.3

 

Saving parameter set 

The currently valid parameter set can be backed up using SICK AppManager. 

The complete environment of the device is then available if support is necessary. 

Saving on the computer (backup) 

1.

 

In the SICK AppManager, in the   

Device 

window, click on the   

Backup

 button. 

 

The 

Backup Apps and Data

 window opens. 

2.

 

Fill out the 

Name

Version

 and 

Filename

 fields. 

3.

 

Select the path for data backup. 

4.

 

Select all available options. 

5.

 

To run the backup, click on the 

Backup

 button in the 

Backup Apps and Data

 

window. 

Saving on a microSD memory card (cloning) 

 

IMPORTANT 

Risk of damage to the memory card! 

 

To avoid damaging the memory card, make sure the device is  

de-energized when you insert or remove the card. For this purpose, 

disconnect the device from the supply voltage accordingly.
