9 SOPAS ET configuration software
9.1 Purpose
The SOPAS ET configuration software offers uniform operation of all SICK devices and
is used, among other things, for parameterization and service purposes (e.g. diagnosis,
data logger, firmware update).
SOPAS ET can be downloaded from the Internet at www.sick.com/SOPAS_ET. Help with
general operation of the SOPAS ET program user interface as well as for the different
options can be found in the SOPAS ET online help. Parameterization of SOPAS ET is
self-explanatory and is therefore not described in detail in this document.
Changes to parameters made in SOPAS ET are only saved in a non-volatile manner
when the Save button is selected to perform a save function either via the menu bar or
the respective device.
NOTE
Since not all device parameters can be set via the fieldbus interface, additional param‐
eterization via display or SOPAS ET may be required. This is also the case if the following
device parameters are not set via the fieldbus interface: Resolution distance value (see
"Object 4000h – Distance Resolution", page 77) Resolution speed value (see "Object
4001h – Velocity Resolution", page 77) Measuring direction (see "Object 6000h Oper‐
ating Parameters", page 78) Node ID (see "Address assignment (node ID)", page 88)
Baud rate (see "Baud rate setting", page 89)
9.2 Connection of device to computer and establishment of connection
NOTE
The IP settings of the computer and the device must match to be able to communicate
with the device via SOPASET. Adjustments can either be done via the IP network
configuration on the device while the connection to SOPASET is being established, or
via the network configuration in the system control of the computer (LAN connection).
Administrator rights are needed to change the system control.:
1. Connect computer to the Ethernet interface of the device or a free port of a switch
in-between.
✓
SOPASET automatically begins looking for connected devices after start-up.
2. Enter the found device to the project using drag & drop, double click, enter button
or add icon.
NOTE
If you are requested to install a device driver in the device window during installation,
the easiest thing to do is run an upload from the device and to switch to online mode by
selecting the respective button in the device window.
NOTE
If SOPASET does not find a connected device, you can reset the IP network configura‐
tion to the factory setting 192.168.100.236 (see "Performing a reset", page 46) using
the device menu then restart the device.
9.3 Logging into the device
Logging into the device is required for some functions (e.g. changing to the Device name
or User information windows or a firmware update) .
