Access to the card slot
The card slot for the memory card is located under the hinged cover on the rear side of
the device,
see "Device view", page 14 .

1. Switch off the supply voltage to the device.
2. Undo the screws (Torx TX6, captive) on the hinged cover (Figure: step 1) and open
the cover as follows:
°
Carefully pull the upper edge of the cover away from the housing a little at the
level of the hinges on the side (Figure: step 2). Use both of the recesses on
the inside of the cover to do this.
°
Fold the cover upwards starting from the bottom edge.
3. Making sure it is in the correct position, insert the memory card into the slot until
it locks into place. When doing this, position the contacts so that they are facing to
the rear and upwards, see the card symbol on the device.
4. Close the hinged cover again (Figure: step 3). Make sure that the cover is com‐
pletely flush with the housing.
5. Tighten the screws on the hinged cover again.
6. Switch on the supply voltage for the device.
Interpretation of the stored parameter set
Once it is switched on, the device automatically detects the presence of a memory card
and, depending on the card’s content, behaves as follows:
■
If the card is empty or if it contains a parameter set that cannot be interpreted by
the device, the device saves its currently valid internal parameter set to the card
(provided there is sufficient storage space). The device then starts with its internal
parameter set.
■
If the card contains a parameter set that can be interpreted by the device, the
device permanently overwrites the currently valid internal parameter set with this
external parameter set. The device then starts with its new valid parameter set.
■
The goal is for the internal parameter set and the parameter set saved externally
to always be identical.
The highest-ranking parameter set is used by the device when operated in the
PROFINET with the following sequence hierarchy:
1 After starting, the device loads the last permanently stored internal parameter set
to its working memory.
2 The device then searches for a valid parameter set in the optional external mem‐
ory card slot. If there is a positive search result, the device uses this external para‐
meter set to overwrite the existing parameter set in its working memory.
3 If the PROFINET controller sends a parameter set via the PROFINET with central
configuration of the bus users, the device again overwrites corresponding parame‐
ter values in its working memory. These changes are lost again when the device is
switched off. The PROFINET controller must then again send the most recently
valid parameter values each time the device is restarted (supply voltage is
switched on).
