SICK SLG-2 User Manual

7 Operation
7.1 Configuration options
The complete configuration of the SLG-2 is possible via the IO-Link interface. Using the
SiLink2 master and the SOPAS ET configuration software, the SLG-2 can be configured
directly on the computer.
For configuration via SOPAS ET, the sensor-specific SOPAS Device Description (SDD) is
required.
Both SOPAS ET and the SOPAS Device Description can be downloaded free of charge at
www.sick.com.
The interface-specific settings can be found at the end of the chapter, see "IO-Link
specific settings", page 42.

Figure 15: Function overview
In Sensor thresholds, the switching thresholds of all beams are automatically set via the
teach-in depending on the sensing range, see "Commissioning", page 23.
Beam status: After the teach-in, the SLG-2 is ready for operation. Now either the states
of each individual beam can be output via the process data (Process data) and/or the
sensor data can be used for further processing.
Zones: In Zones, ranges between two beams can be defined in which evaluation within
the zone is carried out by selectable functions. The resulting Q
int
signals can either
be used for further processing or output directly via the process data (Process data).
Furthermore, height and width information of an object within a defined zone can still
be output via the process data.
Smart Task:
two of the altogether four Q
int
signals (internal) can be further processed / adapted by
simple logic gates as well as by Timing and Inverter functions. Furthermore, an external
input signal can be integrated into the processing. The processed signals Q
L1
or Q
L2
can be output via pin 4 or pin 2 (Smart Task via IO-Link) and/or via the process data
(Process data).
