1. Connect the device: connect the power supply and electrical signal to the sensor, connect the output interface to the PLC, connect RS232 to the computer, generally use RS232, but also change to other control methods, such as CAN, RS485 and so on.
2. Software installation: open the laptop, install the CD, open the corresponding software, download and run, be familiar with the operation interface, and ensure that the installation is complete.
3. Run the software: Open the SICK "MES-DE" software, the main interface will have the model of the sensor and the cable cross-linking, and the parameters that need to be set are as follows: the internal distance of the sensor, gain, reverse sensitivity, distance unit and visible light compensation coefficient, signal noise suppression (the time period or attenuation number can be set), and the obtained target shape.
4. Parameter confirmation: determine the parameters, check whether there are any errors after the parameters are set in the software, and then confirm the parameters to confirm whether the parameters meet expectations.
5. Parameter saving: Save the set parameters, you can view the saving record in the software, and the parameters can also be saved and backed up by the software on another computer.
6. Parameter check: start parameter checking, check whether the parameters are correct, whether the specified operation is completed, if there is a problem, check whether the parameters do not meet the requirements, if there are, modify them to the correct parameters, complete the program settings, conduct tests, and verify whether the settings are correct.

Sick Sensors – What are the Common Types of Proximity Sensors?
Capacitance – As the name suggests, these sensors work by recording changes in capacitance, which is a function of charge and voltage between two surfaces with an air gap or other material known as the dielectric constant. When the object to be measured enters the sensor field, it has an impact on the medium.
