10.12 Replacing a CLV (copying the parameter set)
There are two methods of replacing a CLV and transferring the current parameter set to the
new device:
•
By downloading the parameters from CLV-Setup
•
By importing the parameter set from the external memory
The parameter set can only be transferred between identical device types.
10.12.1 Downloading the parameter set
To download the parameter set, you must connect a PC running the "CLV-Setup" software
to the replacement device. The parameter set of the CLV that is to be replaced must be
available as a configuration file in CLV-Setup, otherwise the device must be parameterized
from scratch.
1.
Disconnect the power supply to the AMV/S 60 Connection Module (of the CLV).
2.
Disconnect all cable connectors from the CLV.
3.
Remove the CLV from the bracket.
Before doing so, mark the position and alignment on the bracket/station.
4.
Mount, align, and connect the replacement device.
5.
Connect the PC to the terminal interface on the CLV using an RS 232 data connection
cable (AMV/S 60: connect the PC to the internal, 9-pin "Service" plug).
Chapter 5.5.5 Connecting the CAN interface, Page 5-15
6.
Switch on the power supply to the AMV/S 60.
Once the CLV has started, the "Device Ready" LED lights up.
7.
Switch on your PC and start Windows.
8.
Start CLV-Setup.
If the communication parameters on the PC and CLV are identical, CLV-Setup uploads
the parameter set from the CLV and displays the values on the tabs.
9.
Open the archived parameter set as a configuration file "*.scl" in CLV-Setup and down-
load it to the CLV.
10. Confirm the dialog box by choosing the T
EMPORARY
storage option.
11. Check whether the CLV reads the bar codes correctly.
Correct the parameter settings if necessary.
12. Finally, download the tested parameter set to the CLV and save it with the P
ERMANENT
storage option.
The parameter set is transferred permanently to the replacement device.
13. Save the modified parameter set as a new configuration file in CLV-Setup.
Troubleshooting
If the software version on the replacement device is older than the version on the old device
(e. g. new device is from warehouse stock), the parameter set transferred may contain co-
ded parameters or parameter values that cannot be interpreted by the older software. The
new device, however, outputs an error message in CLV-Setup for each of these parame-
ters/values when the parameter set is downloaded.
