The physical connection between SOPAS ET (computer) and the SIG200 can be estab‐
lished via USB or Ethernet.
NOTE
Basically, connecting the SIG200 to the computer via Ethernet is recommended. When
using the USB interface, long waiting/loading times may occur for large amounts of
data, as the data transmission rate on the USB interface is limited. Especially when
saving large data flows in the logic editor, there may be connection problems between
SOPAS and the device, meaning that the logic cannot be saved completely via USB.
7.2.1 Opening new project in SOPAS
Connect the SIG200 to your computer and start SOPAS ET. When the program is
started, the Ethernet and USB interfaces are always scanned for connected devices
and devices found are automatically displayed as a new project icon.
If the connected SIG200 does not automatically appear as a new project, check that
the SIG200 is correctly connected to the computer and add the device to the project
manually. To do so, run the device search again. Then select the desired SIG200 in the
search results. Add to the project via drag and drop or double-click. Devices that are
already in the project are grayed out in the search results.
NOTE
Also, make sure you are using the device family search (→ click Search settings . Select
the Device family oriented search and “SIG200” options).
If a SIG200 is inserted into a SOPAS project for the first time, then the corresponding
device driver must be installed. In the project icon, click on the Install device driver button
and either download the required SDD from the SICK homepage www.sick.com or
upload it directly from the device. The uploaded device driver now appears in the device
catalog.
NOTE
Make sure that the device driver available in the device catalog matches the firmware
version of the SIG200 used. If these do not match, uninstall the SDD by right-clicking on
the corresponding entry in the device catalog. Then upload the device driver again as
described above.
If the device status is signaled with OFFLINE in the project icon, then the SIG200
must first be switched online. To do this, click the offline button and synchronize the
parameter values in the project and on the device.
