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

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.
