SICK LD-LRS - Commissioning; Overview of the Commissioning Steps; SOPAS et Configuration Software

7 Commissioning
7.1 Overview of the commissioning steps
1. Install the SOPAS ET configuration software.
2. Establish communication with the device.
3. Create an application-specific parameter set with SOPAS ET and save it perma‐
nently in the non-volatile device memory and on the computer.
4. Test the device for correct functioning.
7.2 SOPAS ET configuration software
The interactive configuration is performed using the SOPAS Engineering Tool
(SOPASET) software. You can use this configuration software to parameterize and test
the measuring properties, evaluation behavior, and output properties of the system as
required. The configuration data are stored and archived as a parameter set (project
file) on the computer.
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.
Downloading and installing SOPAS ET
1. Start computer.
2. Download and install the latest version of the SOPASET configuration software,
as well as current device description files (*.sdd) for the device variant from the
online product page for the software by following the instructions provided there.
3. In this case, select the “Complete” option as suggested by the installation wizard.
Administrator rights may be required on the computer to install the software.
4. When the installation is finished, start the SOPAS ET program option. Path: Start >
Programs > SICK > SOPAS ET Engineering Tool > SOPAS.
5. Establish a connection between SOPASET and the device. In order to do
this, select the desired communication interface for searching in the connec‐
tion wizard. (Default Ethernet address: IP address: 192.168.0.1, subnet mask:
255.255.255.0).
