Notes on electrical installation NOTE For detailed information on device connection, see the operating instructions of the InspectorP63x Flex C-mount and S-mount at www.sick.com/8019946. 4.3.2 Interfaces The device offers both an Ethernet interface and digital inputs and digital outputs for communicating with the control.
In order to use the PROFINET communication protocol, the local device setting must be in the Profinet Ethernet mode: 1. In the SICK AppManager, change the IP address. 2. Open SOPASair. 3. In SOPASair, switch to the Operator user level. To do so, click on the button with the currently set user level at the top right in the user interface.
