5.5 Mounting external components
5.5.1 Mounting the connection module
If a connection module is used for device control, mount the connection module close
to the device.
NOTE
Observe the maximum cable length when connecting to the serial AUX interface.
If the computer with the SOPAS ET configuration software accesses the AUX interface
(RS-232; 57.6 kBd) of the device via the connection module, do not mount the connec‐
tion module further than a 3 m cable length from the device.
1. Mount the connection module in the vicinity of the device.
2. Mount the connection module in such a way that the open module can be
accessed at all times.
NOTE
For detailed information on mounting and electrical installation, please refer to the
respective operating instructions for the connection module.
5.5.2 Mounting external read cycle sensor
If an external read cycle sensor (e.g. photoelectric sensor) triggers the device, mount
the sensor close to the device.
NOTE
A large selection of photoelectric sensors and accessories (brackets, connecting
cables) can be found at www.sick.com.
Figure 15: Bar code at the end or start of the piece goods
The mounting location of the device depends on distance “a” of the bar codes from the
front object edge. Depending on the application, mount the device so that bar codes
on objects of different sizes can be read completely during the evaluation time window
(reading interval).
