Commissioning and configuration
6.3 Initial commissioning
The logic unit of the MSC800 is adjusted to the reading situation on location using the
SOPAS-ET configuration software. The starting point for this is the default factory settings,
which can be adjusted to optimize the logic unit. In order to do this, the SOPAS-ET
configuration software is used to create an application-specific parameter set, which can
be loaded into the logic unit and saved and archived as a project file (spr file with
configuration data) on the PC.

6.3.1 Overview of the configuration steps
• Connect data interfaces of the PC and the MSC800.
• Launch SOPAS-ET configuration software and create new project file
• Configure scan assistant (activate communication of the PC)
• Establish communication with the MSC800.
• Include current configuration of the MSC800 in the project tree.
• Log in to the system as “authorized customer” with the password “client”.
• Configure MSC800 for application.
• If necessary use the diagnostic tools “read diagnosis” and “event monitor” (only
presentation and recording of the output states of switching inputs and outputs as well
as data transmissions to the host).
• Load optimized configuration onto the MSC800 and save permanently.
• Save project file with the configuration data of the MSC800 on the PC.
