Operating options and configuration tools
NOTE
In addition to the existing operating instructions, the use of the RFU parameter descrip‐
tion is recommended. This document explains the UHF-RFID-specific parameters of all
device variants of the RFU6xx product family at the "Service” user level.
The parameter description supports the user in configuring applications with the
SOPAS ET configuration software.
The parameter description is available in English (part no. 8023085) and German (part
no. 8023084) as well as other languages if required.
The RFU parameter description can be found on the online product page at:

•
The device can be operated and configured in the following ways depending on the
task:
1. SOPAS ET configuration software
■
Standard configuration tool for the device
■
The configuration software and appropriate device description file need to be
installed on the PC or laptop. These are available online at:
■
Password-protected configuration at four different operating levels (user levels):
1
Run (no entry of password required), no configuration possible
2
Maintenance (entry of password required)
3
AuthorizedClient (entry of password required)
4
Service employee (entry of password required)
The two user levels “Run” and “Maintenance” are only password protected if the
“Parameterization is password-protected” parameter in SOPAS ET is activated. By
default, logging into the device accesses the “AuthorizedClient” user level and
entry of a password is not required in this case.
■
Type-dependent access via a local data interface on the device or via the Ethernet
network.
■
Backup of the parameter set to a location outside the device memory:
°
Manually to a configuration file on the PC, or
°
Semi-automatically to optional external storage media (microSD memory card
or CMC parameter cloning module).
■
Access to the device via the Aux or host interface
■
Organization of the device constellation into projects (stand-alone device or group
of devices via a CAN network)
■
The SOPAS ET configuration software is used for device diagnostics in case of
a fault.
■
Supported firmware updates for the device
2.
Integrated SOPASair web server
■
No installation of configuration software required, an Internet-capable HTML
browser is sufficient. Access to the device by entering an IP address.
■
No administrator rights required, no firewall restrictions.
■
Web server runs directly on the device being contacted (embedded in the
firmware).
■
Access only via the Ethernet interface and by entering the IP address of the
device.
■
Access locally on the device or via the network.
■
Used to configure a stand-alone device.
■
Password-protected configuration at four different operating levels (user levels):
1
