SICK RFU63 Series - SOPAS ET configuration software

Procedure
– Install the SOPAS ET configuration software and the required device description
file on a computer
– Electrically connect the device to the computer
– Commission the device with the help of the “Quickstart” function in SOPAS ET. Use
the factory defaults as the basis for this.
– Perform a manual fine adjustment and configuration of the device to optimize the
functionality for the specific situation on site (reading and writing)
– Test the device for correct functioning in operational use.
7.3 SOPAS ET configuration software
The SOPAS ET configuration software is normally used to adapt the device to the read‐
ing situation on site. The optimized configuration data are then permanently saved to
the device using the “permanent” option. The data can also be stored on the computer
as a parameter set (project file) for archiving purposes.
The device can also permanently access the parameter set from an optional external
storage medium. This makes it easier to replace the device if necessary.
A device-specific microSD memory card, or the CMC600 parameter cloning module in
the Connection Device Basic or Connection Device Modular connection module are
available for this purpose. For more information, see "Information on initial commission‐
ing", page 70.
