SICK Laser Radar LMS511 Note one _sick

First, Equipment introduction

Laser Radar Model: SICK lms511-10100s01 (DC 24V)
Computer operating system: WINDOWS10 64-bit
Wiring: Taobao to buy the air plug (with wire), mainly connected to two lines: Ethernet and Power (can also unscrew the display panel next to the Black Knob cover, where there is a mini USB B-type Jack)
LMS5XX equipment information and software download: https://www.sick.com/de/en/detection-and-ranging-solutions/2d-laser-scanners/lms5xx/c/g179651

In view of the reader's request to upload a copy of LMS511 Ethernet driver: https://download.csdn.net/download/u013453604/10349479
As for the serial driver can find Sicktoolbox

The correct way to open the sick is this, there are two ways
(1) If the LMS511 is set to automatically obtain IP (i.e. DHCP), it is then connected to a feature-led device (such as a router), so that the routing device will assign a dynamic address to the radar, and then run the Sopas software automatic search device with a Windows computer and connect to it.
(2) If you do not have a router, you have to set the LMS511 static IP, so as long as the computer IP changed to and LMS511 IP the same network segment can directly plug the LMS511 network cable to the computer. At this point you can use Sopas automatic search under Windows or in Ubuntu under the Sicktoolbox driver can get radar data. Second, Windows under the laser connection

There are generally two ways to connect LMS511 to your computer under Windows: Ethernet mode and USB mode
Need to install a software: Sopas ET 1, Ethernet mode

This way to even two lines, Ethernet and power, Taobao on the basis of the number of pins can buy the corresponding air line. Pay attention to the definition of the pin on the manual, do not answer the counter.

The power cord is a 24V DC power supply, and the ethernet cable is connected directly to the computer's network cable port.
The default IP address for LMS511 is 192.168.0.1
Plug in the line, the computer IP set for the same network of laser radar IP IP (My computer IP manually changed to 192.168.0.10),

Start Sopas et client software, turn on the power to LMS511, if it is the first run will automatically search the device.

Double-click the device in the right search results to add to the item on the left, and then find the yellow exclamation point "Install device driver" on the bottom of the device, click it to choose to upload from the device, wait for 10 minutes or so to install the device driver, click "Offline" to switch to "online

Double-click on an online device to view the visual results of a laser scan

In the software "help"--"Sopas et manual" can find the software's Chinese operation Manual, which has said how to connect the LMS device.

Here is the problem with Ethernet connected sick radar:

When I first connect to the LMS511 IP to automatically get and forget its IP is how much, finally my computer can no longer search the LMS511, and finally LMS511 connected to a router behind the LMS511. You can then log in to the router background to view the device IP attached to the router. Of course, the IP of the LMS511 device can be viewed through a USB connection, but it cannot be modified by USB connection.

So IP here do not casually change, according to the figure manually LMS511 IP set as static address 192.168.0.1 can, the general factory default is this, do not change on the line. 2. USB connection mode

A power cord with an air plug is required to connect to the power and 24V, and a mini USB B-Cable Connection LMS511 The black lid on the left side of the display panel (this is a knob that can be twisted with a vise) inside the USB port and computer.
MINI USB B-type data cable (also known as the T-Port) is the previous MP3, mobile hard disk and non-smartphone on the commonly used data lines, than the current micro USB slightly larger, omnipotent Taobao can buy.

USB connection needs to be installed USB driver Sopas et to identify the LMS511 device, so to the LMS511 plug in the data line, in the computer-management-Device Manager to find an exclamation point of the USB device (name with the word LMS).
Click the right mouse button, click to update the driver software, set the path to the driver folder path usb_driver_en_dc0004399 can be.

Tip: If the "hash value of the file is not in the specified directory" when the driver is installed, the driver will not be installed successfully, then reboot the computer to the startup settings select the "Disable driver signature" option, and you can install the driver without a signature after entering. Three, Ubuntu under the laser connection

Under the Ubuntu can still use Ethernet and serial port two ways to connect laser 1, Ethernet connection mode

Ethernet connection mode wiring or as under Windows, still have to manually set the computer IP, so that the computer and laser in the same network segment.
Under Ubuntu "Edit Connection"--"Ethernet"--"add" to create a wired connection named lms511, manually set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, manually set IP to 192.168.0.10 (192.168.0.2~ 192.168.0.254), so this IP and lms5xx device IP is in the same network segment
At this time with Sicktoolbox2 can read the data of the laser 2, serial connection mode

Serial connection mode is actually from the LMS511 data port wiring to a RS232 mother, and then use a serial port to connect to the USB cable to the computer
Check lms5xx's manual, page 71st.

The data port 2, 4, 7 lines received RS232 Txd, SG (grounding), Rxd end, with the Sicktoolbox should be able to read, I may be rxd and Txd connected, failed to successfully connect, and then change tomorrow.
