SICK SIG200

7 SIG200 configuration
The SIG200 PROFINET can be configured via following different methods:
1 PROFINET (Fieldbus/PLC Engineering Tool)
2 Ethernet (Webserver)
3 USB (with SOPAS ET)
4 Ethernet (with SOPAS ET)
5 Ethernet (via REST API)
The configuration via PROFINET (1) is done by using the Engineering Tool of the PLC
manufacturer to get direct access to the SIG200. Depending on what kind of PLC/Engi‐
neering Tool is used, the configuration for SIG200 and the connected devices is done
differently.
The integrated webserver (2) of SIG200 allows a direct access for configuration pur‐
poses through suitable web browser software from any device connected to the same
Ethernet network as SIG200.
Furthermore, the SIG200 can be configured via USB (3) using the SOPAS Engineering
Tool from SICK. The necessary cable (M8 - USB) must be ordered separately. It is also
possible to connect the SIG200 via Ethernet (4) to SOPAS ET to do the configuration.
The SOPAS Engineering Tool can be downloaded on www.sick.com.
SIG200 additionally offers a REST API to accommodate in-depth access for high-level
automation processes. A REST API is a programming interface that defines a set of
functions where you can perform requests and receive responses via HTTP protocol
such as GET and POST (REST = Representational State Transfer, API = Application Pro‐
gramming Interface).
7.1
SIG200 PROFINET interface
The SIG200 can be configured with an appropriate PLC and PROFINET software tools.
This includes addressing and configuration. The following system integration and con‐
figuration are an example how to use the SIG200 together with the SIEMENS TIA Portal
V13 project planning software. When using other controllers and project planning soft‐
ware, refer to the relevant documentation.
