SICK TiM361S

6.4.3 Installing the device driver
The device driver is installed automatically the first time a connection is established
between SOPASET and the device.
6.5 Parameterization of the device
The SOPAS ET computer software is provided for safety-related parameterization.
Parameterization can be done using the following interfaces:
•
USB
WARNING
Risk of ineffectiveness of the protective device!
•
Before establishing a connection between SOPASET and the device and before
beginning parameterization, ensure that the machine, plant or application in which
the device is involved as part of a safety function is in a safe state and thus not in
operation.
•
The prevention of manipulations during parameterization of the machine, plant or
application must be ensured by the user, by additional measures if necessary.
NOTE
Safety-related programming using other released telegrams or tools (not SOPAS ET) can
only be made possible by an additional safety verification for the specific use case; this
safety verification must be kept separately by the user.
In this case, safety-related evaluation is the responsibility of the customer or the user.
6.5.1 Establishing the connection
Before launching SOPASET, a suitable cable (see "Accessories", page 15) must be used
to establish a USB connection between the parameterization interface of the device
and the computer.
►
To run SOPASET, double-click the program icon – a new project is opened.
A quick search for connected devices is performed.
The progress bar shows how far the process has progressed. The x symbol to the right
of the progress bar can be used to cancel the search process.
Found devices are listed in the search results window. If the device was previously
connected to the computer, it will appear in the search results.
Found devices can be inserted into the project from the search results area via drag &
drop, double-click, the Enter pushbutton, or the Add icon. They will remain in the search
results but are displayed in gray.
Devices can only be parameterized and monitored if they have been added to the
project.
No actions can be performed on the device in the search results window.
A device driver must be installed before establishing a connection with the device for
the first time. Follow the instructions provided by SOPASET.
When selecting the source for the driver installation, choose the “Upload from device”
option.
6.5.2 Configure the device
1. Double-click on the desired device.
