Configuring jobs for SICK scanner

When working with SICK sensors, the files with the extension SDD for the devices that are to be backed up must be available on the octoplant server (or on an agent). You can download the SDD files from the device in SOPAS ET.

Info

Alternatively, you can copy the SDD files from a computer on which SOPAS ET is installed to the octoplant server (or to the agent). The default location for the SDD files is {ProgramData}\SICK\SOPAS\jars\devices. The location where octoplant searches for the SDD files can be modified in AdminClient.
In some cases, there is only one JAR file for the sensor to be backed up. In this case, you must copy the JAR file and change the file extension from JAR to SDD before proceeding.

The following parameters (actual values) are excluded from the comparison:

Procedure

  1. Create a job with the upload type SICK Sensors.
  2. Go to the Sick Sensors settings section.

  3. In the Project dropdown menu, select the project file that contains the connection parameters for the device.

    octoplant supports both SOPAS and SDV files. A SOPAS file can contain connection parameters for several devices, an SDV file only for one device.
