Step
a.
Installing and launching the SOPAS configura
-
tion software
The SOPAS configuration software is usedasstandard to
display the surrounding contour (measuring line) recorded
by the TiM, as well as diagnostic information in the event of
an error.
1.
DownloadandinstallonthePCthesoftwarefromthe
website “
www.sick.com/SOPAS_ET
“, software type SOPAS
ET.In thiscase, selectthe "Complete" optionas selected
bytheinstallation wizard. Administratorrightsmay be
required on the PC to install the software.
2.
Start the "
SOPAS
"program option after completing the
installation.

5.
Select the appropriate TiM from the list of available
devices:
•
Use TiM on port 2111 to configure the device.
•
Use TiM on port 2112 to view only measurement data.
Default IP address of the TiM:
6.
Assign the required IPaddress/subnet mask to theTiM
via automatiCally or manually. The IP address/subnet
mask should correspond to the address space of the later
application.
7.
Click Finish to quit the Connection Wizard.
SOPAS ET establishes communication with the TiM, loads
its current device description (parameters), and displays it
in the navigation tree.

The detailed construction of the output telegram as well
as the flow of requests and outputs is described in the
"
Measured value output
“ in the
Technical Information
(Nr. 8015883).

3.
Enteroneofthe twotelegrams inthe"Send telegram"
input line as they appear (automatically framed by STX and
ETX when sending in the default setting). Pay attention to
blank characters in the string.
4.
Use the
button totransferthe telegram to the TiM.
The TiM respondsbyproviding the data asaone-offor
continuously in the display area of the terminalemulator.
Data output format of the measured values
The data output format per scan is comprised of the
measured values (radial distance, RSSI), device and status
information and time stamp.
In the default settings, the distance is output as a measured
value (in mm).
Inorderto outputremission values in the telegram, selectthe
Rssi checkbox.
Todisplay the remission values in the scan as well, select the
Rssi... checkbox.
Output range of the measured values
TheTiMscans an angle range of 270°(-45°to 225°) and
outputs 271 measured values per scan in the default setting.
The angle range forwhich measured values can be output
can be set via
o
utput RanGe
(TiM55x: resolution 1°, TiM56x:
resolution 0.33°).
