Cloning function: storage of the currently valid parameter set
Automated additional storage of the parameter set with the configuration data of
the device on an external storage medium that is quickly accessible to the user.
This takes place as part of the recommended backup concept for the parameter
sets of the 4Dpro devices. The externally stored parameter set is also updated
automatically each time the currently valid configuration data is permanently
saved. The cloning function serves as a basis for performing the following tasks,
for example:
°
In the event of a device fault, a convenient and rapid manual transfer of the
currently valid parameter set to an exchange unit of the same type in the
read station.
Automated saving to the external storage medium is triggered by saving the para‐
meter set in the device with the
Permanent
option, e.g., via the SOPAS ET configura‐
tion software.
•
Other functions available on request.
The first time a parameter set is stored, we recommend using an empty memory card.
b
Check and, if necessary, delete the contents of your current card on the PC.
Device access to the memory card
NOTE
The device does not directly signal access (read, write) to the memory card.
By observing the
Ready
LED, it is possible to tell when the storage process has been
completed when the parameter set is saved with the
Permanent
option:
•
When the device starts saving, the
Ready
LED goes out.
•
When the device has finished saving, the
Ready
LED lights up green again.
NOTICE
Possible data loss!
b
Do not remove the memory card and switch off the supply voltage as long as the
following operation is still being executed on the device using the SOPAS ET config‐
uration software:
■
Permanent change to the parameter set by saving with the
Permanent
option.
b
To safely remove the memory card during operation, select the
Remove SD card
option under
Analysis/SD card
in SOPAS ET and wait for the response from
SOPAS ET.
Inserting the memory card in the device:
DANGER
Risk of injury due to hot device surface.
The surface of the device can become hot during operation.
•
Before performing work on the device (e.g. mounting, cleaning, disassembly),
switch off the device and allow it to cool down.
•
Ensure good lost heat transfer from the device.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the memory card!
b
To avoid damaging the memory card, make sure the device is
de-energized
when
you insert or remove the card. For this purpose, disconnect the device from the
supply voltage.
