SOPAS ET PC software: Configuration, diagnosis
Detailed wiring of the device and the connections to the host/PC and the external sen‐
sors are described in chapter Electrical installation.
3.6.1
Object trigger control
The device needs a suitable external signal (trigger source) for reporting an object in
the reading field in order to start an object-related read process. As standard, the start
signal is issued via an external read-cycle sensor (e.g. photoelectric sensor). As soon as
an object has passed the read-cycle sensor, a time window (“reading interval”) is
opened in the device for the read process.
Alternatively, a command triggers the read process via a data interface or the
SICK SENSOR network. In auto pulse mode, the device internally generates the reading
interval itself with an adjustable clock ratio.
The read cycle can be ended in several ways. For example, external triggering by the
read cycle source or a command, or internally by a timer or a evaluation condition to be
fulfilled.
NOTE
The SOPAS ET configuration software can be used to configure the trigger source.
3.7
Reading operation mode
In “start/stop” operation, there is only ever one object in the reading field during the
reading process, i.e., all read codes can be clearly assigned to the object. As standard,
starting and stopping of the reading process are controlled by one or two read cycle
sensor(s) at the start and end of the reading field.
In this case, the distance between the read cycle sensors determines the size of the
reading field. The reading process can alternatively be controlled with command strings
via the data interface.
