SOPAS Parameter Overview

1 1D Symbologies

The 1D Symbologies group contains all of the parameters for configuring the 1D sym‐ bologies (bar codes).

2 1D Increase Performance

It is possible to optimize the decoding process for 1D codes via the parameters in the
1D Increase Performance group. The parameters can be used to eliminate interference,
thereby increasing device performance.
Adapting the settings to suit the application reduces the decoding time and increases both reading reliability and the readability of low-contrast, 1D codes.

3 2/5 Interleaved

If the 2/5 Interleaved parameter is activated, decoding is activated for the correspond‐ ing code type. The configuration tab for the corresponding code type can be seen and opened in SOPAS ET.
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
NOTE
As only activated code types are processed, you can increase the processing speed by deactivating the code types that are not being used.
Code name: 2/5 Interleaved or ITF (2-value)
•
Character set: Numeric characters
•
Structure: 5 code elements per character, 2 of which wide and 3 narrow (charac‐
•
ters at odd positions are represented by bars. Characters at even positions are represented by gaps.) Intrinsic safety: Low
•
Spatial requirements: Low (up to 18 characters)
•
Standard: ISO/IEC 16390
•
Areas of application: Parcel and postal service
•

2D Symbologies

The 2D Symbologies group contains all of the parameters for configuring the 2D code.
NOTE
The fewer code types are activated in parallel, the faster the decoding process.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

5 2D Components

If the GS1 DataBar parameter is activated, decoding is activated for the DataBar 14,
DataBar Expanded, and DataBar Limited activated code types. (This requires the GS1 DataBar code type to be deactivated.)
NOTE
As only activated code types are processed, you can increase the processing speed by deactivating the code types that are not being used.

6 2D Increase Performance

It is possible to optimize the decoding process for 2D codes via the parameters in the
2D Increase Performance group. The parameters can be used to eliminate interference,
thereby increasing device performance.
Adapting the settings to suit the application reduces the decoding time and increases both reading reliability and the readability of low-contrast, 2D codes.

7 Add-on

The Add-on parameter allows you to adjust how the extended code structure is handled (additional information generally found on magazines).
•
•
•

8 Add-on length

The Add-on length parameter is used to define the length of the extended code struc‐ ture.
•
•
•
NONE: There is no extended code structure available within the code. ACTIVE: There is an extended code structure available within the code. REQUIRED: Only codes with an extended code structure are read.
2 CHARACTERS: A 1 5 CHARACTERS: A 1 B 2 C 2 OR 5 CHARACTERS: A 1 or A 1 B 2 C

9 Address

The address of the image server to which the images for the SICK Visualization Platform are to be sent is specified under the Address parameter.

10 Addressing mode

The Addressing mode parameter is used to specify whether the IP address of the sen‐ sor should be defined manually (STATICALLY) or assigned by a server (DHCP).

11 Active

12 Active

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
The data output of the SICK Visualization Platform can be activated via the Active parameter.
NOTE
The device time must be set to operate the SVP.
The event that activates the digital output is selected via the Active parameter.
SOPAS COMMAND: The output can be activated via a command. This allows defined
•
statuses to be displayed by a connected indicator lamp when a corresponding command is issued by the control (PLC).
DEVICE READY: The output is activated as soon as the sensor is ready for use.
•
GOOD READ: The output is activated if the read operation was successful.
•
NO READ: The output is activated if the read operation was unsuccessful.
•
TEACH-IN 1 OK: The output is activated if the MATCH CODE TEACH-IN 1 has been success‐
•
fully taught in.
TEACH-IN 1 NOK: The output is activated if the MATCH CODE TEACH-IN 1 could not be suc‐
•
cessfully taught in.
TEACH-IN 2 OK: The output is activated if the MATCH CODE TEACH-IN 2 has been success‐
•
fully taught in.
TEACH-IN 2 NOK: The output is activated if the MATCH CODE TEACH-IN 2 could not be suc‐
•
cessfully taught in.
MATCH 1 CONDITION: The output is activated if the code that has been read corre‐
•
sponds to the MATCH 1 CONDITION match code.
MULTICODES1 CONDITION: The output is activated if the number of codes that have
•
been read corresponds to the number specified by the MULTICODES1 CONDITION.
TEACH-IN1 CONDITION: The output is activated if the code that has been read corre‐
•
sponds to the TEACH-IN1 CONDITION match code.
TEACH-IN2 CONDITION: The output is activated if the code that has been read corre‐
•
sponds to the TEACH-IN2 CONDITION match code.
13

Active Script

Scripts can be activated in the Active Script group.

14 Enable user I/O PDOs

If the Enable user I/O PDOs parameter is activated, user-defined process data objects (PDOs) can be sent and received by a script program.
The user-defined PDOs are entries in the object directory that are reserved for scripts and configured in the object directory. The reserved PDOs allow the script to receive status changes from the CAN input modules and control CAN output modules by send‐ ing a PDO. This is how the communication bandwidth of the device is extended in terms of its software. The reading device can use the extended communication bandwidth for control tasks within its surrounding area, even if the required number of switching inputs and outputs for the control process is not available.

Enable heartbeat

If the Enable heartbeat parameter is activated, a signal is output via the interface at regular intervals (Heartbeat interval). In this way, the availability of the sensor can be checked via the interface.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

16 Activate teach-in mode

Depending on how the Start teach-in parameter has been configured, the Activate
teach-in mode parameter is used to define the signal for preparing or starting the
teach-in process for the match code.
The signal can, for example, originate from a key switch at one of the digital inputs or be triggered via a command.
NOT DEFINED: The match code is not taught in.
•
SENSOR 1: The match-code teach-in process is prepared and started via a signal at
•
digital input 1 (e.g., a key switch).
SENSOR 2: The match-code teach-in process is prepared and started via a signal at
•
digital input 2.
EXTERNAL INPUT 1 (see note): The match-code teach-in process is prepared and
•
started via a signal at digital external input 1.
EXTERNAL INPUT 2 (see note): The match code teach-in process is prepared and
•
started via a signal on the digital external input 2.
SOPAS COMMAND: The match-code read-in process is prepared and started via a cor‐
•
responding command.
NOTE
The number of available digital inputs can be expanded by using the CDB620/CDM420 connection module in conjunction with the CMC600 parameter memory module. The purpose of the CMC parameter memory module is to act as an input expansion module and convert a digital signal into a command. External digital inputs generally respond more slowly than the internal digital inputs of the sensor.
17
Teach-in stop by
Depending on how the Start teach-in parameter has been configured, the Teach-in stop
by parameter is used to define which signal or condition should terminate the match-
code teach-in process.
TEACH-IN TRIGGER SOURCE: The teach-in process is terminated by a signal (e.g., a key
•
switch) at one of the sensor's digital inputs.
OBJECT TRIGGER: The teach-in process is terminated as soon as the reading gate
•
closes.
VALID CODE TAUGHT IN: The teach-in process is terminated as soon as a match code
•
has been successfully read.
Teach-in Condition
The Teach-in Condition parameter defines the condition that must apply when the newly taught-in match code content is stored. The selected condition is used as a basis when the target/actual comparison is activated. Each code that is read is compared to the code content that was read in for the target condition.
The Teach-in Condition parameter is used to assign the items of code content that are to be compared to a condition. The taught-in match codes can be retrieved and acti‐ vated at a later time, subject to the condition being met.

Store current counter values now

Pressing the Store current counter values now button saves all values to the device's flash memory. This means the values remain available without a permanent supply volt‐ age, i.e., the values are still saved after the device is restarted.

The General Match-code teach-in settings group contains the parameters for teaching in the match codes.
The two match codes are stored in the Match-code teach-in 1 and Match-code teach-in
2 (Additional) groups and can be subsequently customized.

19 Alpha

The device's Alpha angle in relation to the code and trigger position is defined under the Alpha parameter.
Example: Angle set to 90° or 270°. The reading is taken perpendicular to the convey‐ ing direction.

20 Alternate Score

If the Alternate Score parameter is activated, the calculation of the score value is opti‐ mized.
This parameter is used to increase the score values of the Alternate Classifier.
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

The optimization option is only available for the Alternate Classifier.

21 Change camera settings

If the Change camera settings parameter is activated, the brightness and contrast are adjusted via the AUTO-SETUP function. This function is accessed by pressing the pushbut‐ tons on the sensor.

22 Change code settings

If the Change code settings parameter is activated, the code settings for the DATA MATRIX code type are adjusted via the AUTO-SETUP function. This function is accessed by pressing the pushbuttons on the sensor.

23 Change reading distance

If the Change reading distance parameter is activated, the reading distance is adjusted via the AUTO-SETUP function. This function is accessed by pressing the pushbuttons on the sensor.

24 Number of Images

The Number of Images parameter is used to set the number of images that are cap‐ tured in INDIVIDUAL IMAGES capturing mode. The number of images captured depends on the reading gate length.

25 Number of mapped RPDO bytes

The Number of mapped RPDO bytes parameter defines the scope of the receive proc‐ ess data objects (RPDOs) that can be received by the script program.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

26 Number of PDOs

The Number of PDOs parameter is used to determine the number of process data objects (PDOs) that transmit the reading result.
When reading results are transmitted via PDOs, the reading result data is distributed across several PDOs. The PDOs are transmitted in sequence. The configured reading result is restricted to 50 characters for this type of transmission.

27 Number of Attempts

Enter the maximum number of read attempts that are to be made with an activated parameter set in the event of an automatic parameter switchover under the Number of
Attempts parameter.

28 Application Identifier Marking

If the Application Identifier Marking parameter is activated, the APPLICATION IDENTIFIERS appear in parentheses in the output format.
On the basis of the APPLICATION IDENTIFIERS, the subsequent values of the code content are assigned to a defined property. This means that the data contained within a code (e.g., use-by date, batch number, date of manufacture, etc.) can be represented in a standar‐ dized format.

29 Application Counters

Events such as successful (GOOD READ) and unsuccessful (NO READ) read operations can be counted and saved on the Application Counters tab.
Depending on the setting, the device stores the data temporarily in the RAM or perma‐ nently in the flash memory.
Quantitative conditions are defined using counters and can be used for output format‐ ting, for example. Counting functions can be used to control processes, e.g., object bun‐ dling is initiated when a defined counter value is reached.

30 APS/EPS 1

Camera and illumination settings that are used cyclically in the event of automatic or event-controlled parameter switchover can be made in the APS/EPS 1 to APS/EPS 4 groups.
Pressing the APPLY STANDARD PARAMETERS button applies the parameter settings saved under the CAMERA AND ILLUMINATION tab.

31 Output Condition

If the Data transmission point parameter is set to the value AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, the Out‐
put Condition parameter can be used to select the data output condition.

Output Hex-ASCII

If the Output Hex-ASCII parameter is activated, every code character is output as a hex‐ adecimal value. If hexadecimal output has been deactivated via the parameter, the code content is output directly as ASCII characters. If an ASCII code is output containing control characters, these are replaced by the @ character to avoid conflicts with the pro‐ tocol framework.
Converting the code content into hexadecimal values enables all characters – including control characters – to be output.

Output Control

The Output Control group contains the parameters used to determine the timings for outputting the Output Format 1 and Output Format 2 data.
NO OUTPUT: No data is output via this interface. OUTPUT FORMAT 1: Data that is output via this interface is formatted in line with the
configuration in the Output Format 1 group.
OUTPUT FORMAT 2: Data that is output via this interface is formatted in line with the
configuration in the Output Format 2 group.

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE: The reading results of a code are output as soon as the code
•
has been identified (even if the reading gate is still open). This means that data can undergo further processing immediately.
NEW CODE: The reading results of a code are output as soon as a code has been
•
identified. However, before the same code can be output again, another code must first be identified. As a result, you can prevent a code from being identified multiple times and the data being output again (e.g., during manual reading).

•
reading area of the sensor.

44 Evaluation Conditions

Conditions that are checked by the device at each reading gate are defined in the Eval‐
uation Conditions group. If defined conditions are fulfilled, specific actions can be per‐
formed by the device – for example, setting an output signal, ending a reading gate, or outputting an image or a particular data string.
Evaluation conditions can be used to define situations that serve as reference points in the device software for flexible process control and data processing. The use of evalua‐ tion conditions shifts the complexity of control tasks from the external controls (PLCs) into the code reader, meaning costs are reduced.

50 Base COB-ID for ReadResult PDOs

The Base COB-ID for ReadResult PDOs parameter defines the CAN identifier of the first transmit process data object (TPDO), which used to transmit the reading result.
When reading results are transmitted via process data objects (PDOs), the reading result is distributed across several PDOs that are sent to the PLC one after the other. The identifier for the first PDO must be configured; subsequent PDOs have consecutive identifiers.

51 Baud rate

The maximum transmission rate for data sent by the sensor to the host can be adjusted via the Baud rate parameter.
The value is specified in baud. This value defines the number of signal changes that can take place via the interface per second. Depending on the protocol, up to four bits can be transmitted per signal change (e.g., with 2,400 baud: up to 9,600 bits/second).

52 Baud rate

The maximum transmission rate can be adjusted via the Baud rate parameter.
The value is specified in bits/s.
NOTE
All devices on the CAN network must run at the same data baud rate. The maximum length of cable for the network is dependent on the baud rate.

53 Condition for image storing

The Condition for image storing parameter is used to select the condition that must be met for images to be stored for diagnostic purposes.
GOOD READ: Only images resulting from a successful code reading operation are
•
stored.
NO READ: Only images resulting from an unsuccessful code reading operation are
•
stored.
ALL: All captured images are stored.
•
MATCH 1 CONDITION: The captured images are only stored if the code that has been
•
read corresponds to the MATCH 1 CONDITION match code.

55 Invert condition

A condition can be inverted using the Invert condition parameter. Inverting a condition allows all code content to be approved except the taught-in match code content.
With this function, it is possible to prevent a particular product from leaving the produc‐ tion line.
USE MIN./MAX. NUMBER OF CODES: Depending on how the Check min. number of valid
codes and Check max. number of valid codes parameters are configured, a read
operation is evaluated as "good" (GOOD READ) if the number of codes read falls between the minimum and maximum values specified.
MATCH1 CONDITION: The read operation is evaluated as "good" (GOOD READ) if the code
that has been read corresponds to MATCH CODE MATCH 1.
MULTICODES1 CONDITION: The read operation is evaluated as "good" (GOOD READ) if the
number of codes that have been read corresponds to the specified number.
TEACH-IN1 CONDITION: The read operation is evaluated as "good" (GOOD READ) if the
code that has been read corresponds to MATCH CODE TEACH-IN 1.
TEACH-IN2 CONDITION: The read operation is evaluated as "good" (GOOD READ) if the
code that has been read corresponds to MATCH CODE TEACH-IN 2.

56 Usage of Input Data

The Usage of Input Data parameter is used to define how the sensor uses data received at the serial host interface.
NO INPUT DATA: No data is received at the interface.
•
DATA STRING FORWARDING: The incoming data is forwarded to another interface. Possi‐
•
ble destination interfaces are serial auxiliary, serial host, Ethernet auxiliary, and Ethernet host.
AUXILIARY INPUT: The incoming data is output to all configured interfaces in the same
•
way as an internal reading result.
EDS TEXT ELEMENT IN OUTPUT FORMAT: The incoming data is assigned to the EDS variable,
•
which can be used in the output string.
NOTE
For further details and settings, see External Input Data.

57 Illumination

The parameters in the Illumination group are used to switch the illumination elements on or off as well as to adjust them.
By optimizing the settings, you can create a high-contrast reading field that is con‐ stantly illuminated. In this way, external influences – such as sunlight, darkness, room illumination, etc. – can be minimized.

58 Shutter time

The Shutter time parameter is used to define the time frame for capturing an image in µs. The shutter time can be set via the slide control.
A short shutter time can accommodate high object speeds. As this causes the
•
image brightness to decrease, it may be necessary to adjust the signal amplifica‐ tion (Brightness). This does, however, increase the image noise. A long shutter time offers a high level of brightness and, therefore, minimal image
•
noise. This is the optimal setting for stationary or slow-moving objects.
59

User Name

A user name for the FTP image transfer to the SICK Visualization Platform is specified under the User Name parameter.

60 Activate Calculation

Code evaluation based on various standards can be activated in the Activate Calcula‐
tion group.
32
NOTE
The results of the code evaluation sensor are not ISO standardized values. As the sen‐ sor is not a standardized verifier, the process is deemed 'code evaluation' rather than verification.

61 certain numb. of new labels

If the value NEW CODE is selected for the Data transmission point parameter, the certain
numb. of new labels parameter can be used to define the minimum number of codes
that must be read before a code is output again. This prevents the same object from being read multiple times.

62 Beta

The device's Beta angle in relation to the trigger position is defined under the Beta parameter.

63 Operation

If you press the Operation button, the mode for setting up the sensor is stopped, and the operating mode of the sensor is activated in accordance with the current configura‐ tion.
NOTE
Image sequence displays the captured images one after the other. The reading results
are displayed in the Code info box. The reading results for the last readings are com‐ bined in the display fields for the Statistics group.

65 Operating mode

The Operating mode parameter is used to select a data transmission mode.
•
•
•
Green (excellent): Contrast between 55% and 100% Yellow (good): Contrast between 20% and 55% Red (poor): Contrast less than 20%
POWER-ON COUNTER: Displays how many times the device has been switched on. OPERATING HOURS: Displays the total number of device operating hours. POWER-ON TIME: Displays the current number of operating hours since the last
switch-on.
MODE1: CMF STANDARD FORMAT / BYTE HANDSHAKE / DIGITAL IO: In this transmission mode,
telegram acknowledgment ensures that no telegrams are lost. This mode is rec‐ ommended for high object frequencies and long telegrams.
MODE2: CMF STANDARD FORMAT / NO BYTE HANDSHAKE / DIGITAL IO: In this transmission
mode, no telegrams are acknowledged. It is possible to lose telegrams if the PLC cycle time is too slow. The mode should only be used for low object frequencies and short telegrams.
MODE3: BMV-COMPATIBLE / NO DIGITAL IO: The mode is compatible with BMV/H10-0111.
The mode should only be selected if it is necessary to replace a BMV/H.
NOTE
Some parameter values are not supported by all device types.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

66 Image Capturing Mode

Two image capturing processes are available under the Image Capturing Mode parame‐ ter:
CONTINUOUS: Continuous image capturing by the sensor at the set image frequency.
•
If the image frequency was not set manually, images are captured at 25 or 60 Hz depending on the device type.
INDIVIDUAL IMAGES: Only the number of images set under the NUMBER OF IMAGES param‐
•
eter are captured regardless of the reading interval length.
The CONTINUOUS image capturing mode is the default setting and suitable for most appli‐ cations. It is recommended that INDIVIDUAL IMAGES capturing mode is used for fast appli‐ cations with small gaps between objects. The decoding time is considerably reduced due to the limited number of images captured.

67 Image output dominant over trigger

The Image output dominant over trigger parameter defines a processing sequence for outputting images and accepting an object trigger. If this parameter is activated, the diagnostic images are transmitted in full before the device accepts and processes the object trigger for the subsequent reading process. If this parameter is deactivated, a trigger signal is processed by the device anyway and any image output operation that has not yet been completed is interrupted.
For the purpose of editing the reading device, image output can be prioritized to deter‐ mine what the device detects within a reading gate. If this parameter is activated, you can check the object trigger interval and length of the reading process. We only recom‐ mend prioritizing the image output for normal operation in exceptional circumstances in the case of applications where image output is more important than continuous object/ code detection.

68 Image region of interest

The Image region of interest parameter allows you to focus the reading field on the rele‐ vant areas.
Reducing the size of the reading field makes the decoding time shorter and increases the frame rate. This enables faster object speeds to be achieved.
NOTE
To change the size of the reading field, adjust the red marking by dragging and drop‐ ping or by entering the four % values.

69 Image selection

The Image selection parameter is used to select the images that are to be stored for each reading gate.
LAST GOOD READ / LAST IMAGE: Following a successful code reading operation, the sys‐
•
tem stores the last image from which one or more codes have been read. If the code reading operation was unsuccessful, the most recently captured image is stored. (This is recommended for applications where the code does not move out of the reading gate during reading.)
FIRST IMAGE: The system stores the first image captured in each case. (This is recom‐
•
mended for applications where the code moves during reading and the code acts as a trigger, i.e., the first image already contains a code.)
IMAGE SEQUENCE: All captured images are stored as a sequence. (This is recom‐
•
mended for applications where the reading gate is opened by an object and the position of the code on the object is not precisely known.) Image sequences can be captured to carry out a triggering check and to verify the quality of the shots in the case of moving objects. The images are numbered in the top left-hand corner. If any image numbers are missing, it means that not all the shots could be decoded and so the settings (e.g., code settings) must be adjusted accordingly.

70 Image rotation 180°

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
If the Image rotation 180° parameter is activated, the image is rotated 180° when it is captured.
Given that images are always processed from top to bottom, codes that are located toward the top of the image get detected earlier. Rotating the image 180° reduces the decoding time for codes that are not positioned centrally. This is particularly applicable when reading stationary objects.

71 Image settings

The image brightness and contrast settings are made via the parameters in the Image
settings group.
A good image that displays the code clearly is essential for a reliable reading. Optimiza‐ tion of the image settings results in better code identification and, in turn, increases the reliability of the reading.

72 Copy images

The images stored in the sensor or on the microSD memory card are transferred to the PC via the Copy images button.
You can select any storage location on the PC.
Delete images
You can use the Bilder löschen button to remove the data (images, .xml files, etc.) stored in the sensor or on the microSD memory card.
Load image(s)
You can use the Load image(s) button to display the images that have been transferred previously.

73 Save Images

If the Save Images parameter is activated, the images recorded by the sensor are stored on a separate image server.

74 Image filter

The Image filter group contains parameters for optimizing the camera image in the case of noise or special code markings.

75 Set frame rate manually

If the Set frame rate manually parameter is activated, the frame rate (image frequency) can be specified by the user. If this parameter is deactivated, the reading device oper‐ ates at the maximum frame rate. The REQUEST button can be used to retrieve the current frame rate of a connected device. There may be a discrepancy between the frame rate set and the actual frame rate used by the reading device. The device adjusts the frame rate in line with other settings, such as the shutter time. A long shutter time reduces the frame rate significantly.
It makes sense to reduce the frame rate for slow applications where the object contain‐ ing the code moves past the reading device slowly. Reducing the frame rate increases the time for evaluating individual images. This results in increased reading reliability for each individual image. A lower frame rate is not suitable for fast applications, as you run the risk of not detecting the code on any image.

76 Image file name

The Image file name parameter can be used to specify the name for the image files. The image files also contain a consecutive number and, if the Good Read / No Read file
prefix parameter is activated, a name prefix is included as well (GOOD READ or NO READ).
Assigning appropriate file names makes it possible to identify the image files clearly (e.g., by attributing them to a particular project/device).

77 Image quality

The Image quality parameter can be used to adjust the file size/quality (resolution) of the stored image files. This setting does not affect the reading speed of the sensor.
An xml file containing the Code info box data is stored for each image.

The content of the codes is displayed in the CODE CONTENT column.
The fact that the code content is matched to the code means you can compare the con‐ tent that has been read with the actual content of the code.
CODE ID
The code type is displayed in the CODE ID column. The process of assigning the code type to the code content allows you to activate/deactivate certain code types in the code configuration in order to limit multiple content to one code type, for example.
CODE CONTRAST PCS
100
The contrast of the codes is displayed in % in the CODE CONTRAST PCS column.
A high contrast makes it easier to identify a code. By comparing different configura‐ tions, you can find the setting for the highest possible contrast.
From 55% to 100%: Contrast EXCELLENT
•
From 20% to 55%: Contrast GOOD
•
Less than 20%: Contrast POOR
•
MODULE WIDTH/HEIGHT IN PX
The module width and height of the codes is displayed in pixels in the MODULE WIDTH/
HEIGHT IN PX column.
The value can be used to evaluate the reading reliability (reserve) in relation to the image resolution. The higher the value, the more reliable the reading. A value of at least 2/2 is recommended, i.e., every code element is represented by at least 2/2 pixels.
By comparing the two values, you can detect any distortion of the image or of the code.
The module width is the dimension of the smallest code element (bar of a bar
•
code or cell in a Data Matrix code) in pixels. The module height is the length of a bar in a bar code or the height of a cell in a
•
Data Matrix code.

Code configuration

The parameters on the Code configuration tab allow you to make decoding settings for individual code types. The code types are each assigned to a code structure.

NOTE
As only activated code types are processed, you can increase the processing speed by deactivating the code types that are not being used.

101 Code configuration

The Code configuration parameter allows you to specify whether the teach-in process for a match code should affect the current code configuration, and if so, how.
DO NOT CHANGE: The process of teaching in a match code does not change the cur‐
•
rent code configuration. The system can carry on reading all the configured code types.
LIMIT TO THE CODE LAST TAUGHT IN: The code configuration is adjusted in line with the
•
match code that has been taught in. This means that the parameters for the code type, the code length, and the code content are restricted to the match code prop‐ erties. As a result, the system can only read codes that conform to the match code.
EXPAND WITH THE CODE LAST TAUGHT IN: The code configuration is adjusted in line with the
•
match code that has been taught in by activating the parameters for this new match code as well. As all the other code settings remain unchanged, the system can carry on reading all the configured code types.

102 Code contrast

To find the codes in the reading field, the captured image is searched thoroughly for structures with sufficiently large contrast variations. A code pattern is only expected within these structures.
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

103 Code length

A minimum value for these contrast variations is defined in % via the Code contrast parameter. The system does not search for code patterns in areas where the contrast is below the defined value.
So that low-contrast codes can still be read reliably, a low value (e.g., 10%) must
•
be set. This does, however, increase the decoding time, as it involves searching a larger image area. For high-contrast codes, the value can be increased accordingly. In this case, a
•
correspondingly smaller image area is searched, which reduces the decoding time.
The Code length parameter can be used to restrict the number of characters allowed within a code.
FREE: Codes of any code length are read.
•
INTERVAL: The Interval parameter can be used to define the minimum and maximum
•
code length. Codes are only read if their length falls between these two values.
FIXED: The Fixed Codelengths parameter can be used to define several fixed code
•
lengths. Codes are only read if they feature one of these defined code lengths.

104 Code Quality

The code evaluation settings are made on the Code Quality tab. Code evaluations based on various standards can be used to compare and check reading results from different sensors.

105 Separate codes depending on position

If the Separate codes depending on position parameter is activated, codes of the same type and with identical content are distinguished from one another according to their position on the object.
For this to take place, there must be a definable minimum distance (Code distance) between the identical codes on the object.

106 Label timeout active

If the Label timeout active parameter is activated, you can define how much time has to elapse before an identical code may be output again.

107 Code surrounded by patterns

If the Code surrounded by patterns parameter is activated, any lines (e.g., printed con‐ ductors on a PCB) around the code are disregarded during evaluation.
This keeps the reading operation focused on the code elements and reduces the decoding time.
NOTE
When the function is activated, poor quality codes tend to be ignored.

The file format can be configured in the File Format group.

114 File name

The File name parameter can be used to specify a file name for the log file.

115 File Path

The structure of the data storage can be specified under File Path.

116 Data output mode

The Data output mode parameter is used to define how often data is output.
SINGLE: The reading results are output once.
•
MULTIPLE: Initially, the reading results are output once. On expiry of a specific period
•
(Label Timeout or Condition Timeout), the data is output again. If the appropriate setting is made, it is possible to distinguish between different objects with identi‐ cal codes.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
Timeout
The Timeout parameter defines how much time has to elapse before data processing is started or stopped.

119 Data Source

Select an interface to be recorded in the Data Source group.

120 Data processing

The Data processing tab contains the parameters for defining the two output formats, as well as for filtering, sorting, and controlling data output.
These parameters are used to define what data is output on the communication inter‐ faces, as well as when, under what conditions, and in what order.

121 Data String Forwarding

This option can be used if you intend to send data from an external device such as a hand-held scanner to a host in addition to the reading result. In this case, the data is not interpreted by the sensor, but is also output at the specified interface. The digital outputs are not controlled and the data is not processed according to evaluation condi‐ tions.
Possible destinations are:
Serial aux interface
•
Serial host interface
•
Ethernet aux interface
•
Ethernet host interface
•

122 Date (YYYY-MM-DD)

The Date (YYYY-MM-DD) parameter is used to enter the date that the reading device should apply when setting its device time. Device time synchronization is triggered by the user via the SET DEVICE TIME button.

123 Date

If the Date parameter is activated, a subfolder is created with the creation date.

124 Duration

The Duration parameter is used to define the time frame for the optical feedback (Green feedback spot).

125 Decoding

The Decoding parameter defines whether the read operation should be time-optimized or whether it is more important to adopt an aggressive decoding approach.
50
FAST: Fast decoding is recommended if the code is of high quality and it is impor‐
•
tant to achieve a short decoding time.
AGGRESSIVE: The Aggressive option should be selected when the decoding time is
•
less relevant, e.g., when reading a stationary object, but the code is of lower qual‐ ity (e.g., low levels of contrast or when the code contains an error).
BALANCED: The Balanced option accommodates applications that fall between the
•
two extremes.

126 Default Gateway

The default gateway address is defined manually via the Default Gateway parameter. The default gateway redirects all network activity that does not belong to this subnet‐ work to another subnetwork.

127 Default Data String

The Default Data String parameter is used to define a default text for the EDS variable. The default text is output for EDS whenever no valid data has been received during the reading interval.
The EDS variable is described using the default data string at the start of the reading interval. During the reading interval, the EDS variable can be overwritten by an external device with the required data – several times, if necessary. At the end, the most recently assigned value or the default data string is output.
In order for data to be output, the EDS variable (object-related, EDS = external data string) must be inserted in the output format. By double-clicking, you have the option to format the EDS variable, e.g., by setting a fixed length.

128 DeviceNet-Gateway

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
The DeviceNet-Gateway group contains the parameters for DeviceNet settings.

129 DHCP

If the DHCP parameter is activated, a DHCP server from the corporate network auto‐ matically provides the gateway with an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address. The addresses do not have to be entered manually.

130 DHCP Fallback Mode

The DHCP Fallback Mode parameter is used to select an action that is performed if automatic IP assignment was not possible.
STATIC IP: A static IP value is set as soon as it is established that DHCP was not pos‐
•
sible.
REPEAT DHCP: The process is repeated until an IP is assigned via DHCP.
•

131 Image Diagnosis Settings

The Image Diagnosis Settings tab is used to define which images are transmitted or stored by the reading device for diagnostic purposes. It is even possible to define time delays and the conditions for transmitting or saving the images.
The file path, storage medium, and image names can also be defined.
One of the purposes of saving images is to support the user during the commissioning process by making it clear what the device is detecting. A further function of saving images is to help with device analysis in the event of a failed read operation (reading result: NO READ). The stored images make it easy to identify potential causes of failure such as the deterioration of code markings.

132 Log File Diagnosis Settings

Using the Log File Diagnosis Settings parameter, reading results from different interfa‐ ces can be written to the internal memory or the micro SD card.
This function enables the reading results to be recorded without an external PC so that they can be evaluated later.

133 Digital Outputs / Beeper

The Digital Outputs / Beeper tab contains all of the parameters for configuring the digi‐ tal outputs.
These parameters define which events cause an output signal to be sent.
NOTE
The required output signal function must be configured accordingly in another area. If, for example, you want to use output signals as application counters, you must make the relevant settings on the Application Counters tab.

134 Digital Inputs

The Digital Inputs tab contains all of the parameters for configuring the digital inputs.
These parameters define the signal that causes the input to respond, along with the associated time delay.
NOTE
The required input signal function must be configured accordingly in another area. If, for example, you want to use input signals as object triggers, you must make the rele‐ vant settings on the Object Trigger Control tab.

135 Dot size

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
The Dot size parameter expands the code elements optically so that the sensor can be adjusted to cope with poorly legible codes (e.g., codes with gaps between the dots of the L-pattern).
: Poorly legible
: Perfectly legible
If the codes have been produced using ink-jet printers, dot peening machines, or lasers (for example), the code elements may not be joined together seamlessly. In this case, the readability of the codes can be improved by expanding the code elements.

136 EAN 128

NOTE
The value should be increased in stages until the code can be read successfully.
If the EAN 128 parameter is activated, decoding is enabled for the relevant code type. (This requires the Pharmacode code type to be deactivated.)
NOTE
As only activated code types are processed, the processing speed can be increased by specifically activating/deactivating the necessary code types.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
Multiread
The Multiread parameter is used to define the minimum number of successful read operations (GOOD READS) required in order for the GOOD READ result to be output.
Defining a minimum number of read operations reduces the likelihood of codes being misinterpreted if the print quality is poor or the contrast is low. At the same time, it increases the reading reliability.
137

EAN

138 Setup

The GTIN 8 / EAN 8 and GTIN 13 / EAN 13 code types can be activated or deactivated under the EAN group.
Pressing the Setup button starts the reading process for testing the configuration. Dur‐ ing this process, images are captured in free-running mode and displayed in the main view.
Changes to the configuration (e.g., image settings or code configuration) or the position of the sensor (e.g., reading distance or angle) are immediately visible in the main view. This makes it possible to complete test readings, as well as to check and optimize the current position and configuration of the sensor.
So that the current contrast setting can be evaluated, the identified codes are dis‐ played in different colors:
Green (excellent): Contrast between 55% and 100%
•
Yellow (good): Contrast between 20% and 55%
•
Red (poor): Contrast less than 20%
•
Behavior of the sensor during editing:
Images are integrated into the image sequence at a rate of one per second so that
•
changes can be recorded. So that the current contrast setting can be evaluated, the identified codes are dis‐
•
played in different colors. The code content and other relevant data are displayed in the code info box for all
•
detected codes so that the reading stability can be assessed. The reading results are transferred to the AUX interface in the configured output
•
format. The reading results are not transferred to the host interface.
•
External triggers at the digital inputs are ignored.
•
Trigger distribution on the CAN interface is deactivated.

141 Enable Diagnosis Output

If the Enable Diagnosis Output parameter is activated, the device's reading diagnosis data is monitored by the control via the CANopen interface. The reading device initiates monitoring via process data objects (PDOs). The device sends a PDO with identifier 0x180 and details of the CAN node to indicate that the control should load an entry.

142 Enable Command Response

If the Enable Command Response parameter is activated, the reading device responds to the SOPAS commands sent by the PLC.
SOPAS commands from the control are entered into object 0x2200/0. The reading device responds via an entry in object 0x2020/4 and sends a process data object (PDO) with identifier 0x180 and the CAN node number to the PLC. The PLC loads the command response entered in the object directory via the SDO domain.
SOPAS commands constitute a command language that can be used to control the functions of the reading device and the object trigger control. A detailed list of the com‐ mands can be obtained from SICK on request.

143 Debouncing

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
Depending on how the Control system parameter is configured, the Debouncing param‐ eter specifies the minimum distance in mm or the minimum time in ms for the signal at the external input. If the value is not achieved, the signal is not detected.
Depending on the application, this value may have to be adapted in line with the read cycle rates required.

144 EPS Source

Specify the interface at which an event-based parameter switchover is triggered under the EPS Source parameter.

145 Number of Lines Detected

The Number of Lines Detected parameter outputs the number of lines that have been detected.
The value may change if the NUMBER OF LINES EXPECTED parameter has been changed. If all the lines have been correctly identified in a stable manner, the values for the number of lines expected and detected will be the same.

146 Allowed code types

You can use the Allowed code types parameter to define which code types should be read in as a match code.
Any code could be interpreted as a Pharmacode, even if it actually had a different code type. Therefore, the Pharmacode type must be selected exclusively.
ACTIVATED CODE TYPES: All the activated code types are accepted for the purpose of
•
teaching in the match code in accordance with the code configuration. To ensure that the required code type can be read, the code configuration must first be checked.
ALL (EXCEPT PHARMACODE): All code types are accepted for the purpose of teaching in
•
the match code, apart from the Pharmacode type.
PHARMA ONLY: Only codes of the Pharmacode type are accepted for the purpose of
•
teaching in the match code.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

147 Allowed Characters / Scoring

A character filter can be used to limit the number of characters to be read and a scor‐ ing system activated in the Allowed Characters / Scoring group.
Setting the character filter limits the number of characters to be detected for the selected character position. When the filter is set, the stability and accuracy of the reading is increased and the reading time is reduced. Depending on the font used, the character “1” is similar to the characters “I” and “J”. “F” is similar to “P” and “C” is simi‐ lar to “G”.
The scoring system specifies how identical the detected character is to the taught-in - or ideal - character. The maximum value is 100.

148 Allowed Character 1

This parameter is used to define allowed characters for a character position by setting a character filter in the field at the desired position.
Character filter:
? – ALL CHARACTERS: All characters are expected and detected by the sensor at this
•
position.
$ – ONLY A-Z: Only upper-case letters of the Latin alphabet are expected and
•
detected by the sensor at this position.
* – ONLY A-Z: Only lower-case letters of the Latin alphabet are expected and detected
•
by the sensor at this position.
# – ONLY NUMBERS: Only numbers are expected and detected by the sensor at this
•
position.
% – ONLY SPECIAL CHARACTERS: Only special characters are expected and detected by
•
the sensor at this position.
& – ONLY A-Z + NUMBERS: Only upper-case letters of the Latin alphabet and numbers
•
are expected and detected by the sensor at this position.
A - CHARACTER TO BE READ (E.G., A): The sensor only expects and detects the character
•
specified in the field at this position.
NOTE
If a filter is only set for numbers, for example, letters will not be accepted when teach‐ ing in is subsequently carried out.

149 Calculated Speed

The current speed is indicated in the Calculated Speed display field.
For this to happen, a connection must be established between the sensor and the PC.

150 FNC1 Character Replacement

Input signals and output signals are represented graphically in the Event Monitor group.
The signal visualization function allows you to test events such as output triggering or switching and to check the logic and function of signal sequences.

163 External Output 1

The number of available digital outputs can be expanded by using the CDB620/ CDM420 connection module in conjunction with the CMC600 parameter memory mod‐ ule. The purpose of the CMC parameter memory module is to act as an output expan‐ sion module and convert a digital signal into a command.

Up to three characters can be defined. The values must be entered as decimal num‐ bers.

169 Errors in L-pattern

According to the ISO/IEC 16022 standard, the code structure (L pattern) is not allowed to have any gaps in it and must extend across the entire code height and width. If the
Errors in L-pattern parameter is activated, codes can still be read even if they contain
defective code structures.
This means that any gaps in the code structure are ignored during decoding. So that the code can still be read, there must be a quiet zone around the code that is at least five times as big as the cell size. This may increase the decoding time.
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

170 Error Score 1

The see "Error Score 1", page 65 parameter is used to define a value that serves as the definition of a correctly read character. This specified value must be achieved for the character to be detected. If the value is not achieved, a “?” is output in the output for‐ mat for this character.
The parameter can also be used as a quality mark to detect poorly printed characters/ text, for example. The see "Error Score 1", page 65 parameter can also be used to gen‐ erate an event, e.g., an output signal.

179 Filters/Sorters for Output Format 1

You can use the graphical interface in the Filters/Sorters for Output Format 1 group to restrict (filter) the data when outputting the reading results and to define the order in which the data is output (sorted). This means you can individually control how the data is output by combining filters and sorters.
For this purpose, any number of filters and sorters can be graphically arranged between the device and PC. The filters can also be arranged in parallel.
You can add further filters and sorters by pulling down the corresponding symbols. The filters or sorters can be copied by dragging the symbols while holding down the Ctrl key. To delete a symbol, drag it over to the recycle bin. Symbols can also be removed by pressing the DEL pushbutton once they have been selected.
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
During filtering, you can use the tering.
Example: (CL) CODE LENGTH = 10: Only codes with a code length of exactly ten characters are output.
During sorting, you can use the button to select the variable for sorting the reading results. You can also choose to sort the results in ascending or descending order.
Example: (CL) CODE LENGTH - ASCENDING: The codes with the shortest code length are output first.

results. You can also choose to sort the results in ascending or descending order.
Example: (CL) CODE LENGTH - ASCENDING: The codes with the shortest code length are output first.
The Full ASCII parameter must be activated if the code is to contain a mixture of digits and other characters.
Check digit test
The Check digit test parameter is used to define the calculation method for checking the plausibility of the code content. During this check, a check digit is calculated from the code content and compared with the check digit within the code. The method that you select must be the same as the one used during code creation. The read operation is only classed as "good" (GOOD READ) if the calculated check digit matches the one in the code.
68

183 Function

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
The Function parameter specifies how the device should function within the SICK net‐ work in master/slave operating mode.
STAND ALONE: The reading device is not integrated into a SICK network and operates
•
as a single device station in the system. The device communicates directly with the host.
SLAVE: When configured as a slave, the reading device receives trigger signals for
•
starting and ending the reading process from the master. The slave sends the reading result to the master.
MASTER: When configured as the master, the reading device distributes trigger sig‐
•
nals for starting and ending the reading process to the slaves. The master receives the trigger signals directly from a photoelectric switch or serially from the PLC. Once it receives the reading results from the slaves, the master sends these to the PLC in accordance with the configured output format.
Slave list
The Slave list parameter is used to specify the device IDs of the slaves that are con‐ nected to the master device. The device IDs are separated by commas. Up to ten slaves can be entered for one master.
NOTE
The input field is highlighted in red if an invalid entry is made.

184 Function

The Function parameter is used to define the functions of the sensor pushbuttons and how they should behave.
NO FUNCTION: The function buttons on the sensor are deactivated. This prevents
•
operational faults from occurring because the buttons have been pushed uninten‐ tionally.
TRIGGER AND AIMING LASER: You can use the pushbuttons on the sensor to initiate
•
reading without the sensor having to be connected to the PC.
°
°
MENU (STORE PERMANENTLY): The pushbuttons on the sensor act like menu keys and
•
can be used for configuration. The modified parameter values are permanently saved in the device. This overwrites the existing values.
MENU (STORE TEMPORARILY): The pushbuttons on the sensor act like menu keys and
•
can be used for configuration. The existing values are overwritten just for the time being. The modified parameter values remain stored in the device until it is restarted. Given that the old parameter values are restored after the restart, this setting is suitable for testing parameter changes. This function can also be used if
The pushbutton on the left opens the reading gate. The reading gate remains open until you release the pushbutton or until the condition for closing the reading gate has been met. The pushbutton on the right switches the aiming laser on/off. The aiming laser switches off automatically after five minutes.

you want to read a different code and then restore the settings more or less straight away by performing a restart.
When menu mode is activated, the following functions can be accessed via the push‐ buttons on the sensor:
READ DIAGN: A suitable code is read in the reading area using the current configura‐
•
tion. The read rate for the last ten read operations is displayed in % above the bar display on the sensor housing.
TEACH-IN MATCH CODE: A suitable code is read in the reading area and stored as a
•
match code (set code).
AUTO-SETUP (only available for DATA MATRIX for the time being): Depending on how the
•
parameters in the Auto-Setup via function button menu group are configured, the reading distance, the image settings (brightness and contrast), and the code set‐ tings are adjusted automatically. In order for this to happen, a suitable object with contrast variations or edges (e.g., code, text, or other structures) must be placed in the reading area.
AUTOFOCUS: The focus position (reading distance) is adjusted automatically. In order
•
for this to happen, a suitable object with contrast variations or edges (e.g., code, text, or other structures) must be placed in the reading area.

185 Function buttons

The Function buttons group contains the parameters for defining the functions of the sensor pushbuttons.

186 Gamma

The device's Gamma angle in relation to the trigger position is defined under the
Gamma parameter.

187 Device ID

The Device ID parameter assigns the device a unique number on the network. The assigned ID is used as a CAN node for the CAN bus.
NOTE
If the device is connected to a SICK network via CAN, device IDs 1 to 63 can be assigned. If the device is connected to a CANopen fieldbus, device IDs 1 to 127 can be assigned. Duplicate IDs must not be assigned.
The device must be uniquely identified on the network to enable communication via CAN bus and so that reading results can be correctly attributed to devices.

192 Stored Images

Stored images can be displayed in the main view of the Stored Images group.
The images saved in the sensor or on the microSD memory card can be transferred to the PC, where they can be stored in a database, for example, and opened when required. The data (images, .xml files, etc.) stored in the sensor or on the microSD memory card can also be deleted.
NOTE
By comparing and evaluating the images that have been captured, it is possible to ana‐ lyze which codes were not identified and whether faulty code structures prevented reading from taking place, for example. Click on the smaller images on display in the
Image sequence to display them in the main view. The relevant code data is listed in
the Code info box. By right-clicking, you can display the date and time when the images were captured, which makes it easier to attribute them correctly.

202 Hardware

The protocol for the serial interfaces (RS232 or RS244) is selected via the Hardware parameter.

203 Heartbeat interval

The Heartbeat interval parameter is used to define the time between the heartbeat sig‐ nals in seconds.

204 Brightness

The amplification of the signal is set via the Brightness parameter. The signal amplifica‐ tion can be set using the slide control.
The image brightness can be adjusted by amplifying the signal in order to achieve bet‐ ter visibility and decodability. When setting the signal amplification, it should be noted that an overly high setting causes significant image noise and therefore makes it diffi‐ cult to read the code.
NOTE
To avoid this, the value should be increased in stages until the code can be read suc‐ cessfully.

205 Brightness Range

The minimum and maximum brightness values can be set using the slide control of the
Brightness Range parameter.

206 Brightness Tuning

The image brightness optimization can be activated via the Brightness Tuning parame‐ ter during operation.

207 Auxiliary Input / Auxiliary Read Result

This option can be used if you want data from an external device (such as a hand-held scanner) to be output instead of the internal sensor reading. The auxiliary input must be made when the sensor's reading gate is closed.
The external device data is entered in the sensor's database and output immediately at all configured interfaces – including the fieldbus interfaces – in the same way as an internal reading result.
The same format is generated as for an internal reading result. The data is interpreted by the sensor and can also control the digital outputs and, if necessary, the beeper. The data can also be checked using Evaluation Conditions (e.g., at Match 1).

208 Background

The structure of the text background is determined via the Background parameter.
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
REMAINS THE SAME: The structure of the background is homogeneous.
•
LINEARLY VARIABLE: In the text background there is a linear transition, e.g., from light
•
to dark.
NOT LINEARLY VARIABLE: In the text background there are individual areas in which the
•
background structure varies.

209 Multiple Identical Codes Present

The robustness of the code reading operation can be further enhanced using the Multi‐
ple Identical Codes Present parameter if multiple codes with identical structures and
content are present in the sensor's field of view.
As recommended by the SEMI PV29-0212 standard, multiple codes with identical struc‐ tures and content are used to mark solar wafers. By activating this parameter, codes that are destroyed by the finger bars of the solar wafers can also be read.

210 Inactive

The Inactive parameter is used to select the event that leads to the digital output being deactivated.
TIMER/TRACKING: The output is deactivated on expiry of a specific period (Length).
•
NEXT OBJECT TRIGGER: The output is deactivated as soon as the next reading gate
•
opens.
SOPAS COMMAND: The output can be deactivated via a command. This allows defined
•
statuses to be displayed by a connected indicator lamp when a corresponding command is issued by the control (PLC).
GOOD READ: The output is deactivated if the read operation was successful.
•
NO READ: The output is deactivated if the read operation was unsuccessful.
•

•
in process commences.
TEACH-IN 2START: The output is deactivated as soon as the MATCH CODE TEACH-IN 2 teach-
•
in process commences.
MATCH 1 CONDITION: The output is deactivated if the code that has been read corre‐
•
sponds to the MATCH 1 CONDITION match code.
MULTICODES1 CONDITION: The output is deactivated if the number of codes that have
•
been read corresponds to the number specified by the MULTICODES1 CONDITION.
TEACH-IN1 CONDITION: The output is deactivated if the code that has been read corre‐
•
sponds to the TEACH-IN1 CONDITION match code.

•
sponds to the TEACH-IN2 CONDITION match code.

211 Inhibit Time

The Inhibit Time parameter defines the interval that must elapse between the repeated transmission of process data objects (PDOs) in ms.

212 Increment

The Increment group contains parameters for converting distance and speed signals.
The signals are either generated by the configuration software (SOPAS)/CAN interface or via an incremental encoder at the digital input. Incremental encoders are sensors for detecting positional changes (linear) or angle changes (rotating) that can capture the distance and direction or the angle change and direction of rotation. They are also known as rotary encoders, incremental rotary encoders, and rotary pulse encoders.

213 Increment Configuration

The Increment Configuration tab contains parameters for converting distance and speed signals.
The signals are either generated by the configuration software (SOPAS)/CAN interface or via an incremental encoder at the digital input. Incremental encoders are sensors for detecting positional changes (linear) or angle changes (rotating) that can capture the distance and direction or the angle change and direction of rotation. They are also known as rotary encoders, incremental rotary encoders, and rotary pulse encoders.

214 Increment source

The Increment source parameter is used to select the source of the incremental sig‐ nals:
FIXED SPEED: You can use the Fixed speed parameter to enter a constant value for
•
the feed speed of the belt.
SENSOR 1: The incremental signals are expected from a rotary encoder connected at
•
digital input 1. You configure the digital input using the parameters in the Sensor /
Input 1 group. The maximum input frequency at the input is 300 Hz.
SENSOR 2: The incremental signals are expected from a rotary encoder connected at
•
digital input 2. You configure the digital input using the parameters in the Sensor /
Input 2 group. The maximum input frequency at the input is 300 Hz.
CAN: The incremental signals are expected via the CAN interface.
•
SOPAS COMMAND: Appropriate commands are expected to arrive as incremental sig‐
•
nals. The commands can be generated by an external control (PLC), for example, and transmitted to the sensor at defined intervals.

215 Length of Input-Data

The length of the input data for the PLC or master is determined via the Length of Input-
Data parameter.
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

216 Internal

The Internal parameter is used to adjust the internal illumination of the sensor in line with the local lighting situation of the application.
OFF: If external illumination is used, the internal illumination can be deactivated.
•
LEFT / RED (type-dependent): This illumination type permits the maximum contrast
•
for codes in the wavelength spectrum between blue and green.
RIGHT / BLUE (type-dependent): This illumination type offers the maximum contrast
•
for codes in the wavelength spectrum between green and red, and can improve the reflective properties of codes on metal surfaces.
BOTH / RED + BLUE (type-dependent): The combination of both illumination types
•
offers the maximum contrast for black codes. The reading area is illuminated uni‐ formly with increased light output. This setting is recommended for large reading distances and when the background color is unknown or subject to change.
BOTH / INFRARED (type-dependent): The advantage of the infrared illumination type is
•
that the light is invisible to humans, meaning that no disruptive light sources are emitted by the device. The code contrast achieved by the illumination is depend‐ ent on the material properties and surface condition of the code and must be tested.
NOTE
Some parameter values are not supported by all device types.
By setting the internal illumination, you can achieve optimum illumination of the read‐ ing field and a higher read rate.

Internal memory (permanent)

If the Internal memory (permanent) parameter is activated, the captured images are stored permanently in the sensor's internal memory. The images are retained even after the device is switched off.
The amount of internal memory available is 120 MB. The stored images can be trans‐ ferred to the PC and deleted manually.
79
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

218 Internal memory (temporary)

If the Internal memory (temporary) parameter is activated, the captured images are stored in the sensor's internal memory. The stored images are deleted when the sensor is switched off.
The amount of internal memory available is 15 MB. This is enough to store approxi‐ mately 40 images. The stored images can be transferred to the PC and deleted man‐ ually.
Counter
The Counter parameter is used to define the numbering for the stored images.
CYCLIC NO.: The stored images are numbered consecutively up to a definable value
•
(Modulo). As soon as this value is reached, the numbering recommences at 1, which results in existing images being overwritten. Likewise, when the device is restarted or the configuration is changed, the numbering starts again from 1. Cyclic numbering stores the images that were captured last.
TRIGGER NO.: The stored images are numbered consecutively. The number is
•
increased by 1 as soon as the reading gate opens. When the device is restarted, the numbering starts again from 1. Once the memory is full, no more images can be stored. Trigger-based numbering stores the images that were captured first.

219 Interval

220 IP-Address

221

IP port

The minimum and maximum code length can be defined via the Interval parameter. Codes are only read if their length falls between these two values.
By defining a minimum and maximum code length, you can restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.
The Ethernet address for the sensor is set manually via the IP-Address parameter. Before this can happen, a connection must be established with the sensor at the SERV‐
ICE EMPLOYEE user level.
NOTE
The IP-Address and Subnet mask parameters can be changed via the connection wiz‐ ard if the AUTHORIZED CUSTOMER user level is accessed.
The Ethernet address must match the setting for the Subnet mask parameter and be adjusted in line with the network.
The IP port parameter can be used to adjust the port number for the Ethernet host interface (default value: 2112) in line with the connected PC or control (PLC).

222 ISO15415 (Data Matrix)

If the ISO15415 (Data Matrix) parameter is activated, the quality of the codes that are read is evaluated based on ISO/IEC 15415.
General notes on the standard:
The verification method is used to evaluate the code quality and readability universally and independently of the production process.
The ISO/IEC 15415 standard primarily only refers to Data Matrix codes that are printed on labels.
The device configuration, the intensity, and the aperture angle of the illumination should be implemented in accordance with the standard. The verifiers are calibrated in such a way that the code classification will always have the same result regardless of which verification device is used. This standard is therefore suitable for verifying that 2D codes, which need to be read by a wide variety of reading systems at any production site, are fit for purpose. The evaluation result is output either in levels from A to F or as a numerical value from 4 to 0.

223 ISO TR29158 / AIM DPM (Data Matrix)

If the ISO TR29158 / AIM DPM (Data Matrix) parameter is activated, the quality of the codes that are read is evaluated based on ISO TR29158/AIM DPM.
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

224 Calibration

General notes on the standard:
The verification method is used to evaluate the code quality and readability universally and independently of the production process.
The ISO TR29158 and AIM DPM standards supplement the ISO/IEC 15415 standard and refer to Data Matrix codes that are printed on labels. The classification is per‐ formed using special verification devices known as verifiers.
DPM AIM takes into account the following evaluation criteria:
Damage to fixed finder patterns
•
Extension of modulation from ISO/IEC 15415
•
Determination of the final result (grading)
•
The device configuration, the intensity, and the aperture angle of the illumination should be implemented in accordance with the standard. The verifiers are calibrated in such a way that the code classification will always have the same result regardless of which verification device is used. This standard is therefore suitable for verifying that 2D codes, which need to be read by a wide variety of reading systems at any production site, are fit for purpose. The evaluation result is output either in levels from A to F or as a numerical value from 4 to 0.
Pressing the Calibration button starts the image brightness calibration for the AIM DPM code evaluation.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

225 Camera and Illumination

The Camera and Illumination tab contains all the parameters that affect the quality of the captured images.
By optimizing the camera and illumination settings, you can improve the contrast, sharpness, and lighting level. This results in better code identification, thereby increas‐ ing the reading reliability.
NOTE
A high image quality increases the time required to save the captured images. The save times can be lowered by reducing the image quality.

226 Communication Mode

The Communication Mode parameter is used to select a communication mode for exchanging data between the reading device and host.
WITHOUT HANDSHAKE: The protocol type outputs the telegram directly. This mode does
•
not use handshakes. A repeat request is not processed.
WITH HANDSHAKE: The protocol type outputs the telegram directly. This mode does
•
use handshakes. A repeat request is processed.
NOTE
If several data telegrams are sent at the same time, the "With handshake" mode should be used to prevent data loss.

227 Communication Mode

The Communication Mode parameter is used to select communication modes for exchanging data between the reading device and the fieldbus master.
OPERATING MODE BMV10: This mode is compatible with the data communication con‐
•
cept of the SICK BMV10/BMH10 bus connection module. This means that the reading device is connected to a CDF600 Profibus proxy while other fieldbus nodes communicate via the BMV10 bus connection module. No output states are transferred. The fieldbus module's digital switching inputs and outputs can be used for the reading device regardless of this.
CMF400 OPERATING MODE WITHOUT HANDSHAKE: This mode is compatible with the data
•
communication concept of the CMF400-1x01 fieldbus module. This means that the reading device is connected to a CDF600 Profibus proxy while other fieldbus nodes communicate via the CMF400 fieldbus module. This mode operates with‐ out byte handshakes and is used for testing data transmission. The handshake timeout is deactivated.
CMF400 OPERATING MODE: This mode is compatible with the data communication con‐
•
cept of the CMF400-1x01 fieldbus module. It is used for exchanging data during normal operation in the context of existing systems. This means that the reading device is connected to a CDF600 Profibus proxy while other fieldbus nodes com‐ municate via the CMF400 fieldbus module.
OPERATING MODE CDF600: This mode is used for exchanging data during normal opera‐
•
tion in new reading device installations. The fieldbus module operates as a proxy.
OPERATING MODE CDF600 WITHOUT HANDSHAKE: This mode operates without byte hand‐
•
shakes and is used for testing data transmission. The handshake timeout is deac‐ tivated.

Fixed speed

229 Contrast

NOTE
Some parameter values are not supported by all device types.
The communication modes without handshake are used when the application does not require monitoring.
You can use the Fixed speed parameter to enter a constant value for the feed speed of the belt in m/sec.
This speed is converted into time/distance automatically.
The Contrast parameter is used to set the gamma correction in % and adapt it to the code contrast. The gamma correction can be set via the slide control.
If the optical difference between black and white code elements is minimal, the param‐ eter should be set to a high value until the code elements can be clearly distinguished.
NOTE
To check the contrast, you can evaluate the data in the Code info box (CONTRAST):
• 100%: Max. contrast
• 10%: Code can already be identified

230 Coordinates

The Coordinates group defines the position of the device above the conveying system in relation to a zero point. Establishing the device position makes it easier to map the position of an identified object at a later stage.
Looking in the conveying direction, the zero point is usually located on the bottom right­hand edge of the conveying system.

231 Italic Text

Activating the Italic Text parameter enables italic fonts to be read.
This parameter increases the quality and stability of the reading operation when italic font is used or text is at a slight angle.

232 Length

If the Inactive parameter is set to the TIMER/TRACKING condition, the Length parameter can be used to specify how long the digital output should remain activated. The unit can be selected via the Control system parameter.

233 Length

Codes with a defined number of characters can be excluded from the reading process via the parameters in the Length group.
Limiting the number of codes to be read reduces the decoding time.
Code length
The Code length parameter can be used to restrict the number of characters allowed within a code.
FREE: Codes of any code length are read.
•
INTERVAL: The Intervall parameter can be used to define the minimum and maxi‐
•
mum code length. Codes are only read if their length falls between these two val‐ ues.
FIXED: The Feste Längen parameter can be used to define several fixed code
•
lengths. Codes are only read if they feature one of these defined code lengths.
Interval
The Interval parameter can be used to define the minimum and maximum code length. Codes are only read if their length falls between these two values.
By defining a minimum and maximum code length, you can restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.
Fixed Codelengths
84
The Feste Längen parameter can be used to define several fixed code lengths. Codes are only read if they feature one of these defined code lengths.
NOTE
By defining the specific code lengths that are permissible, you can restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

234 Volume

The Volume parameter can be used to deactivate the beeper (OFF) or to select the vol‐ ume level (LOUD or SOFT).
This allows you to adjust the beeper according to the level of background noise.

235 Teach-in code ID

If the Teach-in code ID parameter is activated, the code type of the match code is taught in.
This reduces the likelihood of the code being mistaken for a different one.

236 Teach in code content

If the Teach in code content parameter is activated, the code content of the match code is taught in and applied as a condition.
This reduces the likelihood of the code being mistaken for a different one.

237 Teach in code length

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
If the Teach in code length parameter is activated, the code length of the match code is taught in.
This reduces the likelihood of the code being mistaken for a different one.

238 Reading distance

The distance between the sensor and the object is set via the parameters in the see
"Reading distance", page 85 group. The reading distance is used to adapt the focal
range of the sensor to the mounting location.
The value can be entered manually in mm or set automatically via the Auto button.
NOTE
To avoid disruptive reflections on the object surface, the sensor should be mounted on a suitable mounting bracket (see mounting information).
The reading distance affects the minimum code resolution and the size of the reading field:
If the reading distance is small, smaller codes can be read.
•
A larger reading distance increases the reading field. The resulting reduction in
•
image brightness is compensated by means of the brightness control and, if nec‐ essary, by increasing the shutter time.

239 Mode to send ReadResult

The Mode to send ReadResult parameter determines how the reading result is trans‐ mitted within the CANopen protocol.
WITH SDO: The reading result is stored in the object directory in the configured out‐
•
put format. The reading device sends a process data object (PDO) with a status bit set to DATA AVAILABLE to indicate that reading results are available. A CANopen client, typically the PLC, can load the data via the service data object domain (SDO domain). Once the upload is complete, the CANopen client issues an enable signal for the reading results in the object directory.
WITH PDO: The reading result is transmitted via several consecutive process data
•
objects (PDOs). The configured reading result is restricted to 50 characters for this type of transmission. It is possible to configure the number of PDOs used for the transmission and the identifier of the first PDO sent. All other PDOs involved in data transmission use consecutive identifiers.
DEACTIVATED: No reading results are transferred.
•
NOTE
The output format is configured on the Output Format tab under the Data processing folder.

240 Read Rate

The Read Rate display field shows the ratio between the number of triggers that resulted in the Good Read condition being met and the total number of triggers in %.
The triggers involved in setting up the sensor are not included in the statistics.

241 Reading gate on

The reading gate can be opened manually by pressing the Reading gate on button.
All the outputs, the output strings, and the image transmission process behave in accordance with the configuration so that the current settings can be tested. The read‐ ing gate is closed in accordance with the configuration.
NOTE
This function is ideal for testing the operating mode and simulating a machine trigger with a click of the mouse.

This allows you to terminate the reading process even if the condition configured for closing the reading gate automatically has not been met.
NOTE
This function is ideal for testing the operating mode and simulating a machine trigger with a click of the mouse.

245 Logic

The Logic parameter is used to select the polarity for the Sensitivity parameter.
NOT INVERTED: The digital input responds to a rising edge, i.e., to a switch from Low
•
(0) to High (1), or to a High signal (1) that is permanently present.
INVERTED: The digital input responds to a falling signal edge, i.e., to a switch from
•
High (1) to Low (0), or to a Low signal (0) that is permanently present.

246 MAC address

The MAC address display field shows a unique number for devices with an Ethernet interface. The sensor can be uniquely identified on the basis of this number.

247 Mask for Dig. Input

The Mask for Dig. Input parameter is used to enter a filter for the digital input bits. This is used for assigning data when the device is integrated into a second fieldbus.
Example: If 0xFFFF is entered, all the bits are active.
NOTE
For details of how the CAN digital input bits are arranged, see COB-ID RPDO Dig. Input.

248 Master / Slave

The Master / Slave group is used to configure the device as a node on a SICK network running in the master/slave operating mode. A maximum of 10 slaves can be con‐ nected to a master. The master sends the trigger signal to the slaves via the CAN bus at the start of the reading process. The slaves send the reading results to the master, which then sends the reading result in the configured output format to the PLC at the end of the reading process. The PLC only receives a No Read from the master to indi‐ cate an unsuccessful reading result if none of the slave devices have sent a successful reading result (Good Read) to the master.
A SICK network running in the master/slave operating mode is typically used to read objects that have the code attached to them in different positions. Several reading devi‐ ces can be used to search for an available code on all sides of the object. The only reading transmitted by the master to the PLC is the one from the device with the suc‐ cessful reading result. The unsuccessful readings (No Reads) from the devices where no code was available are not sent to the PLC. This increases the processing speed of the control system.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
Wizard
Pressing the START WIZARD button launches a dialog box for fully configuring the device as a node on a SICK network running in the master/slave operating mode. The wizard pro‐ vides the parameters required for configuring the CAN interface, device network func‐ tions, output control, and object trigger control. The values you enter in the wizard are applied to the relevant parameter groups and tabs once configuration is complete.
The Match code tab contains the parameters for teaching in match codes (set codes). Codes read during operation are compared with the content of the match code. The cor‐ relation is displayed.
NOTE
So that this can happen, the first step is to ensure that the prerequisites for a success‐ ful read operation are in place by checking that the parameters on the Camera and Illu‐
mination tab have been set correctly.
NOTE
If a match code is to be activated after it has been taught in, the relevant condition must be selected for the Condition for Good Read parameter, for example. If the con‐ tent of the codes that has been read does not match the active match code conditions, the read operation is classed as unsuccessful (NO READ).

250 Match-code teach-in 1

The Match-code teach-in 1 group contains the parameters for teaching in match code

NOTE
If a match code is to be activated after it has been taught in, the relevant condition must be selected for the Condition for Good Read parameter, for example.

251 Match-code teach-in 2 (Additional)

The Match-code teach-in 2 (Additional) group contains the parameters for teaching in match code 2.
NOTE
If a match code is to be activated after it has been taught in, the relevant condition must be selected for the Condition for Good Read parameter, for example.

252 Check max. number of valid codes

If the Check max. number of valid codes parameter is activated, the system calculates how many different codes there are and compares this number with a specified maxi‐ mum (Maximum).
This can be used, for example, to ensure that only the required codes are present on an object.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

253 Max. Storage Space (MB)

The maximum amount of storage space reserved in the save destination for the log files can be specified under the Max. Storage Space (MB) parameter. If the specified maximum storage space is exceeded, the oldest log files are deleted.

254 Max. allowed Error Correction

The level of redundancy that may be used for decoding is specified as a percentage via the Max. allowed Error Correction parameter. With an error correction of 0%, no redun‐ dancy within the code is used for the read operation. Only good-quality codes that have been properly applied are read and identified. With an error correction of 100%, code detection is maximized by exploiting the redundancy within the code.
Setting the error correction parameter to a high value increases the read rate. Low val‐ ues reduce the read rate but increase the quality of the reading results.
255

Maximum

The Maximum parameter defines the maximum number of different codes that may be detected in order for a reading to be classed as "good" (GOOD READ). If the specified value is exceeded, the reading is deemed invalid (NO READ).
In this context, the system counts all the codes that differ from other codes in terms of the code type, code length, code content, or code position.

256 Multiple Lines

If the Multiple Lines parameter is activated, the sensor can detect multiple lines of text.
NOTE
If the device needs to detect multiple lines of text, this parameter must be activated.

257 Multiread

The Multiread parameter is used to define the minimum number of successful read operations (GOOD READ) required in order for the (GOOD READ) result to be output.
Defining a minimum number of read operations reduces the likelihood of codes being misinterpreted if the print quality is poor or the contrast is low. At the same time, it increases the reading reliability.

258 Measuring Region

The measuring region for the brightness tuning is determined by changing the horizon‐ tal and vertical limits.

259 MicroSD card

If the MicroSD card parameter is activated, the captured images are stored perma‐ nently on the sensor's memory card.
This is only possible if a suitable memory card (MicroSD up to 32 GB, FAT file system) has been inserted in the sensor.
Memory cards provide an easy way of expanding the available storage space. The stored image files can be analyzed or undergo further processing on any PC.
NOTE
Many MicroSD cards restrict the number of files per folder to a maximum of 10,000.
Counter
The Counter parameter is used to define the numbering for the stored images.
•
•
SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
CYCLIC NO.: The stored images are numbered consecutively up to a definable value
(Modulo). As soon as this value is reached, the numbering recommences at 1, which results in existing images being overwritten. Likewise, when the device is restarted or the configuration is changed, the numbering starts again from 1. Cyclic numbering stores the images that were captured last.
TRIGGER NO.: The stored images are numbered consecutively. The number is
increased by 1 as soon as the reading gate opens. When the device is restarted, the numbering starts again from 1. Once the memory is full, no more images can be stored. Trigger-based numbering stores the images that were captured first.
Modulo
The Modulo parameter defines the maximum value for the counter.
As soon as this value is reached, the numbering recommences at 1, which results in existing images being overwritten. In this way, you can restrict the maximum amount of memory required by the stored images.

260 Check min. number of valid codes

If the Check min. number of valid codes parameter is activated, the system calculates how many different codes there are and compares this number with a specified mini‐ mum (Minimum).
This can be used, for example, to check whether all the required codes are present on an object.

261 Minimum bar width

The smallest structure for decoding a code is defined in mm via the Minimum bar width parameter.
To optimize the decoding process, the value should be matched as precisely as possi‐ ble to the smallest code element (module width) that actually exists within the code. An average module width must be specified so that codes with varying module widths can still be read reliably.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

262 Minimum cell size

The smallest cell structure for decoding a code is defined in mm via the Minimum cell
size parameter.
To optimize the decoding process, the value should be matched as precisely as possi‐ ble to the smallest code element (cell size) that actually exists within the code. The cell size should be between 60% and 105% of the ideal cell size.
The very smallest cell size must be specified so that codes with varying cell sizes can still be read reliably.
263

Minimum

The Minimum parameter defines the minimum number of different codes that must be detected in order for a reading to be classed as "good" (GOOD READ). If the specified value is not reached, the reading is deemed invalid (NO READ).
In this context, the system counts all the codes that differ from other codes in terms of the code type, code length, code content, or code position.

264 with number

The with number parameter is used to specify the number for the customer-specific output format.

NOTE
The master/slave or multiplexer/server operating modes are available for the SICK net‐ work. The operating modes are configured on the Network / Interface / IOs tab.

266 Module width

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW
INACTIVE: Communication via the CAN interface is deactivated. SICK NETWORK: The device is integrated into a SICK network. On a SICK network, only
SICK reading devices are networked via the CAN bus. This type of device group is used to scan an object from different perspectives and transmit the reading result to a host. As far as the host is concerned, the device group functions as an individ‐ ual device.
CANOPEN: The device is integrated into an unspecified CAN fieldbus system. The
SICK reading device operates as a slave under a CANopen client (PLC) and can communicate with devices from other manufacturers.

267 Modulo

268 Mode

The Module width parameter allows you to choose between an automatic module width or a user-defined one.
The Modulo parameter defines the maximum value for the counter.
As soon as this value is reached, the numbering recommences at 1, which results in existing images being overwritten. In this way, you can restrict the maximum amount of memory required by the stored images.
The type of parameter switchover can be selected via the Mode parameter:
AUTOMATIC PARAMETER SWITCHOVER (APS): Automatic switchover to an activated APS / EPS
•
parameter set is carried out after a specified number of attempts, which is config‐ ured in the NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS parameter. One image is captured and decoded by the sensor per attempt. The activated parameter sets are used one after the other until the reading operation is successful. The next time a trigger is initiated, the sensor starts with the parameter set that was last successfully used for reading.
EVENT-BASED PARAMETER SWITCHOVER (EPS): Switchover to an activated parameter set is
•
carried out based on an external event, which is configured in the EPS SOURCE parameter.

SOPAS PARAMETER OVERVIEW

269 Multiplexer / Server

The Multiplexer / Server group is used to configure the device as a node on a SICK net‐ work running in the multiplexer/server operating mode. A maximum of 31 devices can be connected to a multiplexer as servers. The servers receive trigger signals for starting and ending the reading process via their respective photoelectric switches, which are connected to the digital input (sensor 1). This allows them to be distributed at different positions throughout a system. The servers transmit the reading results to the multi‐ plexer, which forwards them to the PLC in the configured output format along with the relevant server device IDs. As the servers have their own trigger sources and operate independently of each other, the reading results are processed and forwarded in the multiplexer in the same order that they arrive.
In the multiplexer/server operating mode, a SICK network of 32 reading devices can be managed without auxiliary devices. This operating mode is typically used in systems with a large number of distributed reading devices that function independently of each other.
Wizard
Pressing the START WIZARD button launches a dialog box for fully configuring the device as a node on a SICK network running in the multiplexer/server operating mode. The wizard provides the parameters required for configuring the CAN interface, device network functions, output format, output control, and object trigger control. The values you enter in the wizard are applied to the relevant parameter groups and tabs once configuration is complete.
270

Multiplexer Output

Data output can be switched on or off via the Multiplexer Output parameter.

271 Automatic Release

If the Automatic Release parameter is activated, the reading results are automatically released by the SDO client after the upload.
If the reading results are transmitted via a service data object (SDO), the reading results are stored in the object directory and downloaded by the SDO client. In order for the subsequent reading result to be entered, a release process must take place after the SDO upload. If release is automatic, the SDO client does not require an application for release purposes. Data transmission is relatively insecure, as the process after automatic release does not enable a repeated data request by the SDO client.
272

Name

The Name parameter can be used to specify a device name as the folder name.

273 Tilt angle

The Tilt angle parameter is used to define the tilt angle of all characters to the base line.
This parameter increases the quality and stability of reading if the text is written at a slight tilt angle. The maximum value must not exceed +/-5°.

274 Network / Interface / IOs

Settings for using the CAN bus interface can be made on the Network / Interface / IOs tab. The CDF600 connection module provides SICK reading devices with a CAN inter‐ face that can be used as follows:
The CAN interface is used to integrate the device into a SICK network. On a SICK
•
network, only SICK reading devices are networked via the CAN bus. This type of device group is used to scan an object from different perspectives and transmit the reading result to a host. As far as the host is concerned, the device group func‐ tions as an individual device. The master/slave or multiplexer/server operating modes are available for the SICK network. Both operating modes can be com‐ bined. The reading device can be integrated into an unspecified CAN fieldbus system via
•
CANopen. The SICK reading device operates as a slave under a CANopen client (PLC) and can communicate with devices from other manufacturers.
