Replacing the device
Transferring configuration data
The current configuration data can be transferred to a replacement device via down‐
load from the computer. The configuration data of the device is combined as a parame‐
ter set. The replacement device saves the parameter set to the permanent parameter
memory. More information,
see "Initial commissioning", page 47
.
Prerequisites:
•
Device type identical
•
Project file (*.sopas) with current configuration data
•
Connecting a computer to SOPAS ET
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.
1.
Switch off the supply voltage to the device that is to be replaced.
2.
Mark the position and alignment of the device on the bracket or surroundings.
3.
Disconnect and remove all connecting cables from the device.
4.
Remove the device from the bracket.
Putting the replacement device into operation:
1.
Mount and align the replacement device (
). When doing
so, note the previously applied markings on the bracket or surroundings.
2.
Reconnect the connecting cables to the replacement device (
3.
Switch on the supply voltage for the replacement device.
✓
The device starts with its last permanently saved parameter set. In the case of
devices that have not been used before, this corresponds to the factory default
setting.
4.
Establish a connection with the replacement device using the SOPAS ET configura‐
tion software.
5.
Transfer the configuration data of the device to be replaced by downloading to the
replacement device and permanently storing it there.
