Replacing the device
Replacing a device with transfer of the current configuration data
The current configuration data of the device to be replaced can be transferred to a
replacement device in four ways. The configuration data of the device is combined as a
parameter set. The replacement device saves the parameter set to the permanent
parameter memory.
Prerequisites:
•
The replacement device is a device of the same type.
•
The current configuration data of the device to be replaced is accessible in a stor‐
age medium outside the device.
The available options depend on the backup concept chosen by the user at the time of
installation and configuration of the device to be replaced.
The first method is performed automatically by the device. The second method is oper‐
ated manually by the user.
1
Transfer of the current configuration data using the optional memory card
removed from the device to be replaced.
It is not necessary to connect a PC or laptop with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
Prerequisite:
If there is sufficient memory capacity on the memory card, the configuration data
from the last save operation in the device with the
Permanent
option was automati‐
cally saved on the card.
2
Transfer of the current configuration data by means of a download from the PC or
laptop
.
Prerequisite:
The configuration data of the device was stored on the PC or laptop. This took
place on completion of configuration of the device that is now to be replaced with
the SOPAS ET configuration software after confirmation by the user.

Removing the device to be replaced:
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.
