    SOPAS software. Purpose of this document These operating instructions provide a description of the commissioning and use of pro- gramming tool PGT-08-S hardware and the installation and use of the SOPAS software for programming encoders. Target audience These operating instructions are intended for staff with technical training who carry out programming of programmable encoders from SICK Stegmann GmbH.

  • Page 5: General Safety Notes

    The combination of the PGT-08-S hardware and SOPAS allows the user to quickly and efficiently prepare programmable SICK Stegmann GmbH encoders for use or carry out configurations. For this purpose, the PGT-08-S hardware is connected to a computer via a USB connec- tion, so that the interface of the encoder concerned can be read out or reprogrammed. Both incremental and absolute encoders can be connected easily via different adapter cables or the spring terminal block.

    27). You must also pay attention to the data sheets of the encoders used. The USB interface of the PGT-08-S hardware is designed solely for direct connection to a computer. USB hubs or extensions should not be used. The programmable encoders must be connected directly to an adapter cable or the spring terminal block.

  • Page 9: Overview Of Sopas

    PGT-08-S@SOPAS Overview of SOPAS SOPAS is a software platform for configuring and visualizing sensors made by the SICK Group. Encoder programming has been integrated into this proven software platform to increase efficiency and flexibility when managing encoders. Existing encoder configurations from previous tools can be transferred to the platform quickly and easily. These instructions will mainly refer to the functions required for programming encoders. Additional information on SOPAS and its functions can be found in the online help (F1 key).
