7 SIG200 configuration
The SIG200 can be configured via following different methods:
1 Ethernet (Webserver)
2 USB (with SOPAS ET)
3 Ethernet (with SOPAS ET)
4 Ethernet (via REST API)
The integrated web server (1) of the SIG200 provides direct access for parameteriza‐
tion via a suitable web browser on devices connected to the same Ethernet network as
the SIG200.
In addition, the SIG200 can be connected via USB (2) using the SOPAS engineering tool
application from SICK. The required cable (M8, USB) must be ordered separately. It is
also possible to connect the SIG200 to SOPAS ET via Ethernet (3) for parameterization.
The SOPAS engineering tool application can be downloaded from www.sick.com.
The SIG200 also has a REST API interface that provides direct access for higher-level
automation operations. A REST API is a programming interface that defines functions
for making requests and receiving responses via HTTP protocols such as GET and POST
(REST = Representational State Transfer, API = Application Programming Interface).
7.1 Operation via Webserver
The SIG200 can be accessed via the integrated web server. To do so, an IP address
must be set for the SIG200. The SIG200 is shipped from the factory without a preset IP
address. The default setting for IP address assignment is made via the BOOTP protocol.
The following web browsers are supported:
•
Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 11 or higher)
•
Google Chrome (version 50 or higher)
•
Firefox (version 30 or higher)
•
Safari (version 9 or higher)
To access the integrated SIG200 web server, start the browser on your device and enter
the IP address of the SIG200.
NOTE
SIG200 only supports HTTP, the HTTPS protocol is not supported.
The layout and functionality of the integrated webserver as accessed by a browser
corresponds to the operation via SOPAS ET (using USB or Ethernet connection), see
"Operation via SOPAS ET (USB/Ethernet)", page 12.
7.2
Operation via SOPAS ET (USB/Ethernet)
With the aid of the SOPAS engineering tool application, the SIG200 can be parameter‐
ized on a computer running Microsoft Windows.
SIG200 configuration with SOPAS ET allows not only to configure the four ports of the
IO-Link Master but also to configure the connected IO-Link devices via an embedded
IODD interpreter.
Additionally, via the Logic Editor (which is a graphical configuration environment) logic
functions across multiple devices which are connected to SIG200 can be created.
