The following are needed to parameterize the device using a computer:
– A computer with SOPAS ET installed and a free USB2.0-compatible port
– SICK SiLink2 Master (Order No. 1061790)
Connect the device to the SiLink2 Master via the connection cable. Connect the SiL‐
ink2Master to the PC using the supplied USB cable. If the USB port on the computer
cannot provide the required power for operating the SiLink2 Master and the device,
also connect the SiLink2 Master to the enclosed AC adapter.
NOTE
The most up-to-date version of the SOPAS ET software can be downloaded from
www.sick.com/SOPAS_ET. The respective system requirements for installing SOPAS
ET are also specified there.
NOTE
To use SOPAS ET with the device, a device description file (SDD) is required. You can
install this within SOPAS ET using the device catalog. An Internet connection is required
to install the SDD file.
Following installation of the device description file, the device can be selected from the
device catalog and added to a project.
A connection to the device is established via the communication interface. The connec‐
tion must be activated for data transmission (online).
Certain functions (e.g. Edit parameters) require you to be logged in to the device:
> "Device" > "Log in" > Select user level and enter password:

NOTE
Change the passwords during initial commissioning to protect your device.
A higher user level can change the password of a lower user level.
Information about the device is displayed in the device window ( > "Device" > "Open
device window") and the device can also be parameterized here.
NOTE
The device immediately applies parameters that have been modified using SOPAS ET
and permanently saves them. This does not require calling up a separate function.
7.5 Operation via IO-Link
The device can exchange process data and parameters via IO-Link. To do this, connect
the device to a suitable IO-Link Master.
The IO-Link interface of the device has the following properties:
