Among other things, the following functions can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software:
Function
Description
Object trigger control
In order to start an object-related reading proPROJECT TREE, RFH620, PARAMETER, OBJECT
cess, the interrogator requires an appropriate
TRIGGER CONTROL
external signal (trigger source) for reporting an
object in the reading area. As standard, the start
signal is emitted via an external reading pulse
sensor (e. g. photoelectric reflex switch). As soon
as an object has passed the reading pulse sensor, a time window opens in the interrogator
("reading gate") for the reading process.
Alternatively, a command activates the reading
process via a data interface or the CAN-SENSOR
network. In Automatic Cycle mode, the actual
interrogator generates the reading gate internally with an adjustable mark-space ratio.
The reading pulse can be ended in a number of
ways: With external triggering by the reading
pulse source or a command, internally by a timer
or an evaluation condition to be met.

Control elements and indicators
4.7.1
User interface
The interrogator is configured application-specifically using the SOPAS-ET configuration
software (see chapter 7.1 Overview of the start-up procedure, page 49). For this purpose,
the software runs on a PC, which must be connected to one of the two data interfaces (aux
interface: Ethernet or RS-232, host interface: RS-232/RS-422/485 or Ethernet) of the interrogator.
As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software, command strings are available,
upon which the user interface of the SOPAS-ET configuration software is based (see
chapter 11.2 Configuring the interrogator with command strings, page 65).
In case of an error, start-up and diagnosis can be carried out via the SOPAS-ET configuration
software. The interrogator operates fully automated in normal operation.
4.7.2
LEDs on the interrogator's housing
The interrogator's housing has six LEDs that display the operating status, the RF activity, the
status of the reading result as well as transfer to the RS-232/RS-422/485, CAN and Ethernet interfaces.

1.
Press the enter button (p) for approx. 3 seconds.
The interrogator stops the current reading operation, switches off the LEDs and
changes to the button operating mode. The bar code scanner ignores all the other external reading pulses with immediate effect. No reading results are displayed via the
host interface.
The beeper confirms this process with an ascending melody.
The "Read Diagn" function is pre-selected as first function (LED flashes slowly).
2.
Press the enter button (p) once to start the selected function.
3.
Press the enter button (p) again to stop the selected function.
The LED flashes faster and the beeper confirms the start with two sounds.
The LED flashes more slowly again and the beeper confirms the end with two sounds.
4.
In order to return from the button operating mode to the reading operation, press the
enter button (p) again for approx. 3 seconds.
The beeper confirms the change with a descending melody.
The LED "Ready" lights up again.

Further behaviour of the interrogator when operated by buttons
•
Changing into button operating mode is only possible if no other user is logged onto the
interrogator for changing the parameters via the SOPAS-ET configuration software. If
this is the case, however, the beeper gives a descending melody when trying to change
into the button operating mode. Furthermore, the interrogator remains in reading operation.
•
In case a user logs onto the interrogator in button operating mode, the interrogator leaves the button operating mode and restarts the reading operation. The beeper confirms
the change with a descending melody.
•
If no function is started in button operating mode or if no button operation can be performed after using a function, the interrogator automatically returns to the reading operation after 30 seconds. The beeper confirms the change with a descending melody.
•
The interrogator terminates an activated continuous function 5 minutes after start. It
returns to reading operation automatically. The beeper confirms the change with a descending melody.
•
You cannot switch off or turn down the beeper in button operating mode.
4.7.4
Parameter set on the Micro SD memory card (optional)
The interrogator stores configured parameter values in its internal PROM as well as on the
Micro SD memory card (cloning), provided that this card has been inserted into the interrogator. If the interrogator needs to be replaced, the memory card enables easy and quick
transfer of the parameter set to the new device (see chapter 8.4 Replacing an interrogator,
page 57).
Important
In order to avoid data loss, the Micro SD memory card may only be removed and inserted
into the new device after the respective interrogator has been switched off and de-energized. When inserting the memory card, make sure that the card's notches point to the direction of the two yellow keys.
The memory card is located behind a silver cover attached to the interrogator.
Fig. 4-6:
Important
Micro SD memory card for storing the parameter set
To maintain the enclosure rating IP 67, the cover has to be installed and screwed together
tightly. Width across flats WAF 2.5.
As an alternative to the Micro SD memory card in the interrogator, the external, optional parameter memory module CMC600 in connection module CDB620/CDM420 may also be
used for storing the parameter set. If both the Micro SD memory card and the parameter
memory module CMC600 are available, the interrogator loads the parameter set from
CMC600.

Important
Performing electrical installation
To ensure secure fastening of the connected connectors and adherence to the enclosure
rating, the knurled nuts/coupling rings of the M12 connectors have to be tightened or the
cable connectors have to be secured.
1.
Connect or release current linkages only under de-energised conditions.
2.
All wire cross sections and their shields on customer side have to be selected and implemented according to valid engineering standards.
Damage to the connector unit on the interrogator due to overwinding.
The connector unit on the interrogator has two end positions.
Fig. 6-1:
Never turn the connector unit, of one of the two end positions, more than 180° in one
direction.
Always rotate the connector unit in the direction of the type plate.

6.4.1
Connecting the power supply for the interrogator
For the operation, the interrogator requires a supply voltage of 10 ... 30 V DC (functional extra-low voltage in accordance with IEC 60364-4-41 (VDE 0100 (part 410)). The functional
extra-low voltage can be created using a safety transformer in accordance with IEC 742
(VDE 0551). The maximum current consumption is 5 W.
Via the connection module CDB620 or CDM420, the interrogator is supplied with
10 ... 30 V DC. If the power supply module CMP400/CMP490 is used, the input voltage is
100 ... 250 V AC/50 ... 60 Hz on the module.
Important
8013105/0000/2009-05-12
The output circuit of the power supply unit must be electrically separated from the input
circuit. This is usually created by means of a safety transformer in accordance with
IEC 742 (VDE 0551).

7.4
Initial commissioning
The SOPAS-ET configuration software adjusts the interrogator to the reading conditions on
site. Starting point for this is the factory default setting which can be adjusted to optimise
the interrogator. The SOPAS-ET configuration software is used to create an application-specific parameter set, which can be loaded permanently into the interrogator and saved/archived on the PC as a project file (spr file with configuration data).
Fig. 7-1:
Configuration with SOPAS-ET and storage of the parameter set
If the interrogator is optionally connected to a Micro SD memory card (see chapter 4.7.4 Parameter set on the Micro SD memory card (optional), page 29) or connected to a module
with parameter memory mode CMC600, the parameter set is saved permanently to the memory card, or to the CMC600 respectively, with every permanent storage of the parameter
set in the interrogator.
After the interrogator is restarted, it automatically transfers the parameter set from the memory card and the CMC600 to its permanent memory respectively. Thus, an interrogator
can, e. g., be exchanged without losing configuration data (see chapter 8.4.2 Replacing the
interrogator, page 58). If a memory card and a CMC600 are available, the interrogator will
load the parameter set from the CMC600.

Configuring the interrogator
All configurable parameters for the interrogator are grouped into a device description (jar
file) for the SOPAS-ET configuration software. The device description's project tree acts as
a guideline for the configuration.
The function of each respective parameter is explained in a context-sensitive manner in an
online help (F1 key). The valid value range and the default setting list the display window
PARAMETER INFO (right mouse button, when the cursor is positioned over the parameter).
Note
In order to configure a device via the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the respective operating level has to be selected in advance. After the start, the SOPAS-ET configuration software functions at the operating level "MAINTENANCE".

Default setting
The values of the default setting are permanently saved in the interrogator (ROM) and in the
database of the SOPAS-ET configuration software in the device-specific jar file (see
chapter 7.4 Initial commissioning, page 52). A PC is not required to start up the interrogator
with the default setting.
7.5.1
Prerequisite
Resetting the default setting in the interrogator
The SOPAS-ET configuration software is connected online to the interrogator.
Two default setting types can be called up via the SOPAS-ET configuration software:
•
Complete default setting (LOAD DEFAULT SETTING)
SOPAS-ET resets all parameter values of the interrogator to default. Settings, which
have been previously made for the communication parameters of the Ethernet interfaces or serial data interfaces (e.g. Ethernet address), are overwritten. In the process,
the connection(s) to the interrogator disappear(s) as the case may be and must to be
reconfigured.
•
Application-specific default setting (LOAD APPLICATION DEFAULT SETTING)
SOPAS-ET resets the parameter values of the interrogator, but does not change the
communication parameters. Settings, which have been previously made for the communication parameters of the Ethernet interfaces or serial data interfaces, are kept
and the current connection(s) to the interrogator remain(s) established.
1.
In order to discard changes to the parameter set as described above, select the corresponding command in the menu bar under RFH620.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software loads the default setting from the interrogator
and displays the parameter values in the register tabs. In the interrogator, the default
setting will first be active in the temporary main memory only.
The default setting can also be saved in the PC or printed (see chapter 7.4.4 Save, display and print the current parameter set, page 54).
2.
In the menu bar under TOOLS, select the command LOGIN TO DEVICE.
3.
In the dialog window under USERLEVEL in the list box, select the entry AUTHORISED CLIENT.
If the parameter set is password-protected, enter the password "client" in PASSWORD.
4.
Click on OK to confirm the dialog window.
5.
In the menu bar under RFH620, select the command PARAMETER/SAVE PERMANENT.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software transfers the default setting to the permanent parameter memory (PROM) of the interrogator.
If the interrogator is equipped with the Micro SD memory card or connected to a connection module CDB620/CDM420 with parameter memory module CMC600, the default setting will be permanently transferred to the parameter memory CMC600 and
memory card respectively.
Important
8013105/0000/2009-05-12
Once the default setting has been restored, password-protection is deactivated.

Configuring the interrogator with command strings
As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the interrogator can also be configured and operated with command strings via all the data interfaces. The command
strings can be displayed separately via the SOPAS-ET configuration software.
Note
For this purpose, select the setting COMMAND on the register tab OBJECT TRIGGER CONTROL as
Trigger source.
Important
Both the command strings and the SOPAS-ET configuration software are based on command language which directly accesses the command interpreter of the interrogator. This
command language must be used with care as the interrogator executes sent commands
immediately. Parameter values altered via commands are, at first, only active in the current
parameter set in the working memory (RAM) of the interrogator. To save in the permanent
memory, the altered parameter set must be copied into the PROM using a special command; this ensures that the alterations are not lost when the power supply is switched off.
Command strings for triggering the reading pulse:
•
START: sMN mTCgateon
•
STOP: sMN mTCgateoff
If the commands are entered via the terminal emulator of the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the two control characters and are omitted.
Connection to the interrogator using the terminal emulator via the Ethernet:
1.
Call up the terminal emulator via the menu TOOLS/TERMINAL of the SOPAS-ET configuration software and, in the terminal emulator, call up the connection assistant via the
menu SET UP CONNECTIONS/CONNECTION.
2.
Select the option USER-DEFINED CONNECTION in the connection assistant and confirm by
pressing NEXT.
3.
Select the option TCP/IP and confirm by pressing NEXT.
4.
Select the option SHOW ONLY COLA TELEGRAMS.
5.
Enter the interrogator's IP address in the relevant field and confirm by pressing NEXT.
6.
In the selection list ADDRESSING MODE, select the setting NAME and confirm by pressing
CONNECT.
The connection with the interrogator is established. The command strings can be transferred.
