4.1 SOPAS ET (description)
Operator menus and measured value displays are also available on an external PC via Eth-
ernet for user comfort (with the engineering tool SOPAS ET).
The SICK Open Portal for Applications and Systems (SOPAS) is an engineering tool for com-
munication with analyzers and sensors.
SOPAS is based on the following techniques:
● Device communication via Ethernet (TCP/IP).
● Common engineering tool for various product lines.
● Universal device description file as data source for all relevant device data and parame-
ters required for communication and display.
● Interfaces for direct communication with analyzers or SCU.
Methods for accessing SOPAS-based analyzers
● Via the SCU operating unit (
p. 23, §3.2).
● Via a PC with the program (Engineering Tool) SOPAS ET
Fig. 9 SOPAS system concept
The menu structure and representation of menus are principally identical on
the SCU and on the PC with SOPAS ET. The representation on the SCU is
adapted to the smaller monitor.
For more information on the SOPAS concept, see the Help menu of SOPAS ET.
