Process Data
: Via the process data, the information is transmitted to the controller via a
serial interface. In addition to the
Beam status
and the evaluated beam information Q
int
and Q
L
, diagnostic information can also be transmitted. An individual configuration of
the process data is possible.
Pin
:
The output of binary data is possible via pin 4 / Q
L1
or pin 2 / MF. The pins are
freely configurable. However, only pin 2 / MF can be configured as input for further
processing (e.g. as Smart Task input signal) (
).

Structure of SOPAS
The SOPAS interface for the SLG-2 is divided into different tabs (1). Each tab provides a
specific set of parameterization functions. You can easily jump back and forth between
the tabs. The structure of the visualization is similar in each tab:
•
Important basic information is displayed on the left side of the SOPAS window (2).
This is, for example, diagnostic information (
see "Diagnostics and troubleshooting",
) or status of the Q
L
s.
•
The
Beam status
can be seen in the middle of the screen (3). When a beam is free,
it is displayed in green with a continuous line. If the beam is blocked by an object,
the beam is displayed with a red dashed line. The light grid orientation (male
connector down or up) as well as blanked beams (gray display) are also displayed.
•
On the right side of the SOPAS window (4), you can either make settings or call up
individual information.

Basic information on SLG-2
The
Home
tab (
) is used to get information and states about the
connected SLG-2. This includes information such as detailed product information and
performance values of the SLG-2.
