3.4.11 Relay switching outputs
The MSC800 also provides two relay switching outputs (changeover contacts). These can
be used to achieve the same switching functions as in the digital outputs.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software can be used to configure the two relay outputs:
PROJECT TREE, MSC800, PARAMETERS, NETWORK/INTERFACES/IOS, DIGITAL OUTPUTS, tabs
RELAY 1 and RELAY 2
3.4.12 Digital switching inputs
It is possible to connect, for example, the external sensor for the object trigger control
(photoelectric sensor) and the incremental encoder to the 10 digital switching inputs.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software can be used to configure the digital
inputs:
PROJECT TREE, MSC800, PARAMETERS, NETWORK/INTERFACES/IOS, DIGITAL INPUTS, tabs
INPUT 1 to INPUT 6
PROJECT TREE, MSC800, PARAMETERS, NETWORK/INTERFACES/IOS, DIGITAL INPUTS, tabs
TRIGGER 1 to TRIGGER 4
3.5 Operating elements and displays
3.5.1 Operator interface
The MSC800 is configured according to the application via the SOPAS-ET configuration
software (see chapter 6.3.1 Overview of the configuration steps on page 75). For this
purpose, the software runs on a PC, which must be connected to one of the data
interfaces (“AUX”, RS-232, “ETHERNET”, or “USB”) of the MSC800.
As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software, command strings are available,
upon which the operator interface of the SOPAS-ET configuration software is also based
(see chapter 10.2 Configuration with command strings on page 118).
Commissioning and diagnostics in the event of faults are carried out exclusively via the
SOPAS-ET configuration software. In normal operation, the MSC800 operates fully
automatically. There are no other operating elements on the MSC800.
