By default, logging into the device accesses the “Authorized client” user level. This
requires the entry of a password.
■
Type-dependent access to the device using the configuration software via:
°
Local data interface on the device
°
Ethernet network
■
Backup of the parameter set to a location outside the device memory:
°
Manually to a configuration file on the computer
°
Semi-automatically to optional external storage media (microSD memory card
or CMC parameter cloning module)
■
Access to the device via the AUX or host interface
■
Organization of the device constellation into projects (stand-alone device or group
of devices via a CAN network)
■
The configuration software is used for device diagnostics in case of a fault.
■
The configuration software supports firmware updates for the device
2. Integrated SOPASair web server
■
No installation of configuration software required, an Internet-capable HTML
browser is sufficient. Access to the device by entering an IP address
■
No administrator rights required, no firewall restrictions.
■
Web server runs directly on the device being contacted (embedded in the firm‐
ware).
■
Access only via the Ethernet interface and by entering the IP address of the device
■
Access locally on the device or via the network
■
Used to configure a stand-alone device.
■
Password-protected configuration at four different operating levels. Naming of the
user levels, in English only here:
Level User levels Note
1 Run No entry of password required, no configura‐
tion possible
2 Maintenance Entry of password required
3 AuthorizedClient
4 Service
■
Has limited functionality compared to the SOPAS ET configuration software.
The functionality of the web server depends on the firmware version of the device.
3. Command strings (telegrams)
■
Command strings (CoLa) are used to configure device parameters and trigger
device functions (e.g. reading).
■
Command strings can be entered in telegram style at one of the available data
interfaces (AUX or host interface) of the device. The telegram response of the
device to the command is always sent to the interface on which the telegram was
received. In contrast to this, the read result data can be outputted to all data
interfaces except for the USB interface.
■
The communication between the SOPAS ET configuration software and the device
can be monitored and recorded via the terminal emulator in SOPAS ET. Com‐
mands can also be sent to the device. For more details on using the terminal, see
the SOPASET manual.
