The SOPAS ET configuration software, the current system prerequisites for installing
the software on the computer, and downloading instructions can be found online at:
www.sick.com/SOPAS_ET
1. Connect one of the data interfaces of the device to the computer.
Recommended: Ethernet interface or USB interface
2. Switch on the supply voltage for the device.
3. Start computer.
4. Download and install the following components as per the instructions on the
product page of the software:
a) Current version of the SOPAS ET configuration software.
In this case, select the “Complete” option as suggested by the installation
wizard.
b) Required current device description file (*.sdd) for the device
5. If the installation of the configuration software does not start automatically, run
setup.exe in the download folder.
6. Follow the operating instructions to complete the installation.
7.3.3 Connecting the SOPAS ET configuration software to the device
1. Start the “SOPAS ET” program option after completing the installation.
Path: Start > Programs > SICK > SOPAS ET Engineering Tool > SOPAS.
By default, the software automatically searches for connected devices via the
Ethernet, USB, and RS-232 interfaces.
2. Establish a connection between SOPAS ET and the device using the automatically
launched wizard. Access via the Ethernet interface.
To do so, select the relevant device in the list of available devices (default Ethernet
address: IP address: 192.168.0.1, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0).
✓
SOPAS ET establishes communication with the device and loads the associated
device description file. The Quickstart tab opens.
7.4 Quickstart with default settings
The purpose of the Quickstart function in the SOPAS ET configuration software is to
make it simple and easy to obtain first transponder read results using the device. In
this operating mode, the device displays all compatible transponders in its detection
range based on the current device settings. During initial commissioning, this occurs
using the default parameter settings for the device.
NOTE
The "Quickstart” function is not intended to be used during normal operation.
►
For operational use, select a read cycle using the object trigger control in
SOPAS ET.
To use Quickstart, all mounting and electrical installation work must be complete (see
the relevant sections in these operating instructions).
7.4.1 Detecting a transponder in Quickstart mode
NOTE
The individual transponders must have a different UII/EPC so the device can identify
multiple UHF transponders.
1. RFU63x-131xx:
Bring one or more standards-compliant UHF transponders into the working range
of the integrated antenna of the device or into the working area of the external
antenna(s).
