SIG200 configuration
The SIG200 PROFINET can be configured via following different methods:
1
PROFINET (Fieldbus/PLC Engineering Tool)
2
Ethernet (Webserver)
3
USB (with SOPAS ET)
4
Ethernet (with SOPAS ET)
5
Ethernet (via REST API)
Parameterization via PROFINET (1) is performed using the engineering tool of the PLC
manufacturer to access the SIG200 directly. Depending on which type of PLC engineer‐
ing tool is used, parameterization of the SIG200 and the connected devices is done in
different ways.
The integrated web server (2) of the SIG200 provides direct access for parameteriza‐
tion via a suitable web browser on devices connected to the same Ethernet network as
the SIG200.
In addition, the SIG200 can be done via USB (3) using the SOPAS engineering tool
application from SICK. The required cable (M8, USB) must be ordered separately. It is
also possible to connect the SIG200 to SOPAS ET via Ethernet (4) for parameterization.
The SOPAS engineering tool application can be downloaded from
.
The SIG200 also has a REST API interface that provides direct access for higher-level
automation operations. A REST API is a programming interface that defines functions
for making requests and receiving responses via HTTP protocols such as GET and POST
(REST = Representational State Transfer, API = Application Programming Interface).
7.1
SIG200 PROFINET interface
The SIG200 can be parameterized with a suitable PLC and PROFINET software tools.
This also includes addressing and parameterization. The system integration and param‐
eterization described in the following shows a good example of how the SIG200 is used
together with the TIA Portal V13 project planning software from Siemens. If you use
other controllers and project planning software, observe the corresponding documenta‐
tion.
GSDML file
The device data required for project planning are saved in GSDML files. The GSDML file
makes the possible data module available with input or output of different data widths.
•
Call up the PLC/PROFINET engineering tool.
•
At
, download the current GSDML file for the device.
•
Install the GSDML file in the engineering tool.
