DIRECT ACCESS VIA FIELDBUS/ETHERNET
SICK absolute encoders and inclination sensors can be programmed using the relevant engineer-
ing software and the customer control unit through the eldbus interface without a programming
unit or any additional software. It is possible to change the sensor values during the process
without disconnecting the electrical connection. This means that a new sensor setting can be
programmed in seconds and rapid changeover of machine properties is guaranteed. On Ether-
net-based encoders, there are function blocks available which make even complex programming
tasks much simpler. As a result, the work required for programming and the error rate are signi-
cantly reduced. The encoders also have various diagnostics options. An ofce computer, industrial
computer or control unit can be used as the user interface.
At a glance
• Flexible programming options: in the
workplace or directly in assembled
state
• Supports function blocks and makes
complex programming tasks easier
• Comprehensive diagnostic functions
• No programming software required,
programming via control commands
• Save the sensor settings in the con-
trol unit or the industrial computer
Your benets
• Programming without electrical and
mechanical disassembly
• Less work required for programming
and reduced frequency of errors due
to pre-assembled function blocks
• Reduction in service and mainte-
nance required due to preventive
diagnostic evaluation
• Customer-specic programming and
evaluation functions
• Cost savings for storage and data
management thanks to reduced
variant diversity because it can be
programmed freely
Fields of application
• Programming absolute encoders
with standard eldbus interfaces and
Ethernet-based interfaces
• Programming of inclination sensors
with CANopen interface
