SICK LD-LRS - Initial Commissioning

Performing a scan
1. In the Scan Assistant dialog window, click the Start Scan button.
2. Select the listed devices and confirm by clicking Add Device.

The connection is used to search for connected devices. SOPAS ET adds the
devices found to the project tree and loads the current parameter set to the device
via upload.
7.4 Initial commissioning
The device is adjusted to the situation on site using the SOPASET configuration soft‐
ware. To do this, SOPASET creates an application-specific parameter set of parameter
values. For this purpose, the parameter set can first be loaded from the device (upload,
initial commissioning: factory default setting). Or it is created independently, either
based on the factory default settings or as a modification of an already existing param‐
eter set of the device of the same type and firmware version.
The parameter set is then loaded into the device (download). This either happens
immediately (Download immediately option in SOPASET) or manually (Download all parame‐
ters to the device command in SOPASET).
NOTE
After completing configuration, the changed parameter set must be permanently stored
in the non-volatile memory of the device. As part of a backup concept for the created
parameter values, we recommend saving the parameter set as a project file (*.sopas
file with configuration data) on the computer for archival purposes.
