2.4.1 Ethernet
Standard: Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP).
Operation via SOPAS ET (option)
Operator menus and Measuring screens are also available on an external PC via Ethernet
for user comfort (with the engineering tool SOPAS ET “SCU” Operating Instructions).
2.4.2 Modbus
Modbus
®
is a communication standard for digital controls to connect a »Master« device
with several »Slave« devices. The Modbus protocol defines the communication commands
only but not their electronic transfer; therefore it can be used with different digital inter-
faces (for MCS100FT: Ethernet).

OPC is a standardized software interface that allows to exchange data between the appli-
cations of different manufacturers.
The SICK OPC server is required.
