Connection

• Rotatable plug units, flexible mounting
• The practical, rotatable plug unit makes it possible to fit and connect IDpro devices in apparently impossible locations
• Convenient network configuration, fast plug connection and flexible mounting for all devices
• Ethernet-on-Board
• Cost reduction as no additional Ethernet gateway is needed
• Secure investment: future industrial Ethernet protocols can be imported via software
• Same modular connection systems for all devices
• All IDpro devices function with the same modular connection systems. This means you can benefit from simplified ordering, reduced integration effort, and investment security thanks to easy switching between technologies
• Flexible fieldbus connection via modular connection modules

Operation without PC

• Function keys and LED display on the device
• Two function keys, e.g. for starting the auto setup and teaching a match code
• LED bar graph for checking the reading rate
• Auto setup for automatic configuration of the device
  

Operation with PC

• Same user interface for all devices
• SOPAS-ET for greater flexibility – the cross-device tool for all SICK devices
• Standardized IDpro data output format with innovative data handling: the sorter, filter and output formatter transfer the data to the controller in the desired format

Analysis

• Standardized diagnostic function
• An event monitor enables rapid analysis of the IDpro device's inputs and outputs. A diagnostic monitor instantly visualizes the effects of parameter changes

Exchange

• Cloning function
• Simple and fast exchange without reconfiguration using a PC, thanks to parameter cloning via optional micro SD card or optional cloning module
