O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S | SLT
Switching on the LEDs can be done either from the bottom end of the device upwards
or from the top end downwards. It is also possible for the segments to change color or
light pattern as soon as the segment above them begins to glow.
There are three options here:
•
The previously activated segments retain their light animation.
•
The segments that are already illuminated stop their light pattern animation as
soon as a new segment is added, but remain activated. Only the uppermost
segment shows an animation.
•
All segments show the light pattern of the uppermost segment to draw attention to
the current filling level, e.g. in the event of an overflow warning.
Animation mode is used to demonstrate the range of functions of the signal lamp. Here
the 20 different LED segments are switched on one after the other in a configured
sequence. In Animation mode, each LED segment of the SLT can be configured individ‐
ually.
For coloring there are 21 predefined colors are available. In Animation mode, the LEDs
can be set as either continuous light, flashing light, strobe light, or pulsating light. The
light animation frequency can be set individually.
Switching on the LEDs can be done either from the bottom end of the device upwards
(bottom up) or from the top end downwards (top down). It is also possible for the
segments to change color or light pattern as soon as the segment above them begins to
glow.
There are three options here:
•
The previously activated segments retain their light animation.
•
The segments that are already illuminated stop their light pattern animation as
soon as a new segment is added, but remain activated. Only the uppermost
segment shows an animation.
•
All segments show the light pattern of the uppermost segment.
•
Other properties of the animation, e.g. loop/bounce effect, can also be set in this
mode.
The SLT can be configured and controlled in three different ways:
1
Via SiLink2 IO-Link master and SOPAS ET with extensive graphical user interface
based on the SDD
2
Via IO-Link master (e.g. SIG200) and generic user interface based on the IODD
3
Via IO-Link master with direct access to the device parameters via IO-Link service
and process data (e.g. PLC with IO-Link master terminal)
Configuration via SiLink2 master and SOPAS ET
The SLT can be configured on a PC (running Microsoft Windows) using the SOPAS
Engineering Tool (SOPAS Et for short) software.
An IO-Link master is required for configuration and operation of the SLT. When using the
SiLink2 IO-Link master, a comprehensive graphical user interface is available to assist
during configuration. The required SiLink2 IO-Link master can be ordered separately.
The SOPAS Engineering Tool application can be downloaded at www.sick.com.
SDD installation
A SOPAS Device Description (SDD) is required in order to configure the SLT via graphic
user interface. Start SOPAS ET and install the SDD of the SLT as described in the
following section.
