Quickstart Guide – Safety Laser Scanner Visualization Software

This document describes the steps to run the SLS Visualization Software for microScan3

and outdoorScan3.

Pre-requisites:

 Windows PC (Win XP and up).

o Note 1: The SLS Visualization Software does not run on Windows CE.

Windows CE has reached End of Life Support in 2018; therefore SICK cannot

provide the SLS Visualization Software for Windows CE.

o Note 2: Many SIEMENS HMI's using TIA Portal are based on Windows / WinCC →

therefore many SIEMENS HMI's are supported.

Supported devices

 All microScan3 devices - except all microScan3 Core I/O versions

 Only outdoorScan3 Pro EtherNet IP

1. Display scanner data in 7 steps

Step 1 – Connect Scanner

First, connect the safety laser scanner to the HMI or computer on which the SLS Visualization Software is

used.

Step 1.1 – Power Supply

Connect scanner to power supply with 24V. Find appropriate cables on SICK.com.

As an example, the following cable can be used for power connection for microScan3 Pro

PROFINET:

Step 1.2 – Ethernet Cable

Connect safety laser scanner to HMI or computer using an Ethernet cable. Find appropriate cables

on SICK.com. As an example following cable can be used for microScan3 Pro PROFINET :

Step 2 – Set up Ethernet Connection

The next step is to set up the Ethernet Connection. In order to do this the IP address of the safety laser

scanner needs to be known. There are two simple ways to read it out.

Step 2.1 – Read out IP address using Safety Designer

Open Safety Designer, connect to device (e.g. by using USB cable) and see address on page

addressing.

Step 2.2 – Read out IP address on display of safety laser scanner

Use the Buttons on the Safety Laser Scanner. (Device Info  Network  IP address)

Step 3 – Download Software

Click link to download the SLS Visualization Software:

Step 4 – Preparing SLS Visualization Software

When the file is unzipped, following files should be included:

Step 4.1 –Edit “executable” file to correct IP address

The IP address that is programmed must be edited before starting the THE SLS VISUALIZATION

SOFTWARE.

Step 4.2 – Replace IP address

A window will open in which the specified IP address must be exchanged by the address of the safety laser

scanner. If you do not have this IP address then go back to “Step 2”.

Right click on the file

"Execute_192_168_1_5.bat"

allows editing of the file.

Replace the pre

programmed

IP address with the actual

IP address of the scanner.

Step 4.3 – Save file

Once the IP address is set correctly safe the executable with its new name. The name should include the

actual IP address

Step 5 – Preparing the computer for the network connection.

Using Windows computers the connection may have to set in the Control panel. See steps below.

Open

Network and

Sharing Center.

Go to „Ethernet“

Go to “Properties”

Go to

„

Internetprotocol,

Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)“

Enter the IP address and

subnet mask.

Subnet mask is the same as

the scanner.

Note that this is the IP address of

the HMI VISU, not of the

scanner. Thus: Same subnet, nut

different IP address, however in

same range.

Confirm „OK“.

Step 6 – Open the SLS Visualization Software

Open the bat file.

Step 7 – SLS Visualization Software is displayed

Open the bat file that was

created previously with the

actual IP address in it

The VISU tool will open and

should automatically connect

to the safety laser scanner.

2. Using the SLS Visualization Software on WinCC – Overview

WinCC (TIA Portal) is available in different variants WinCC Basic, WinCC Comfort, WinCC Advanced and

WinCC Professional. In addition, there are the two runtime systems WinCC Runtime Advanced and WinCC

Runtime Professional. The difference between the variants lies primarily in the configurable devices.

WinCC Professional (TIA Portal)

With WinCC Professional the THE SOFTWARE DIAG tool can be opened with an exe file via a c script. To do

this the following code must be written into the script.

WinCC Advanced (TIA Portal)

To start the HMI VISU DIAG tool the following software is needed on WinCC Advanced:

The tool can then be implemented into the WinCC advanced software.

The tool can now be displayed via WinCC Advanced.

The „diag2“-Button, will start

the defined event

Here you can choose at

which event an action

should be executed.

Under „Program name“

you

have to link the tool you

want to open.
