Why is SOPAS ET not communicating with my SICK NAV350 Accessories?
- K
  Kayla BurnettAug 14, 2025
  Several factors can prevent SOPAS ET from communicating with the NAV350. Here are some things to check: * Ensure the NAV350's supply voltage is on. * Verify the PC is connected to the NAV350 using the correct data cable for the interface type. * Confirm the correct interface is selected in SOPAS ET, matching the PC connection. * Check if another application on the PC is accessing the interface; if so, close the application. * As a general troubleshooting step: turn on the PC, connect it to the NAV350, and then switch on the NAV350.
