Description

The SICK DSL-8U04G02M025KM1​ is a programming / configuration interface cable​ used to connect a PC’s USB port to SICK sensors​ (photoelectric, inductive, distance sensors, safety light curtains with service interface) that feature a 4-pin M8 (Micro-Change Type A-coded) service/configuration connector.
It converts USB to RS-232 level signals (TTL/RS-232 via sensor-side transceiver)​ and is recognized by the PC as a virtual COM port (VCP — requires FTDI or SICK-supplied driver). This cable is used with SICK SOPAS Engineering Tool (free)​ to:
  • Configure sensor parameters (sensing range, hysteresis, output logic)
  • Read diagnostic / status information
  • Update firmware on supported sensors
  • Teach / store/restore parameter sets

Key Features

  • PC Interface: USB Type A (host side) — full-speed USB 2.0
  • Sensor Interface: 4-pin M8 (A-coded) — pinout per SICK standard (TxD/RxD/GND/5V)
  • Length: 2.5 m (025 in part = 2.5 m)
  • Driver: FTDI-based — appears as Virtual COM Port in Windows Device Manager
  • Compatible Sensors: Most SICK sensors with M8 service port — e.g., W4-3, W9, W12-3, WT24, DT50 (config port), UE… family, and many safety devices with M8 config socket
  • Country of Origin: Germany / Hungary (SICK Global)

⚠️ Important:
  1. 4-Pin M8 A-Coded ONLY: This cable fits sensors with a 4-pin M8 service/configuration socket — NOT the power/output M12 connector! Many SICK sensors have a separate small M8 ‘service’ port.
  2. Driver Install: On first connect, Windows will need the FTDI VCP driver​ (bundled with SOPAS installer or downloadable from SICK website / FTDI chip maker). Look for “USB Serial Port (COMx)” in Device Manager.
  3. Sensor Compatibility: Works with sensors that explicitly mention “M8 configuration port” or “service interface M8” in their manual. Does NOT replace the power cable (M12).
  4. Not for S300/S3000 Safety Scanner: Those use a different interface cable (often DSL-… with DB9 or specific S300 programming cable — check your safety device manual).

Warranty & After-Sales

  • Factory new units: 12 months warranty
  • Refurbished units: 3-6 months warranty (loopback COM port test on PC + pin continuity)
  • Technical support for:
    • Driver installation (FTDI VCP — check Device Manager for COM port number)
    • SOPAS project creation & sensor detection (“Online → Search Device → USB”)
    • Confirming your sensor model has the M8 configuration port (vs M12 power-only)
    • Cross-reference if you need the S300/S3000 safety scanner programming cable (different part)
  • Alternative lengths (1 m / 5 m) available on request

Delivery Time

  • Standard delivery: 3-5 working days (stock item)
