Alternatively, the device saves the parameters automatically if 5 minutes elapse without
a pushbutton being pressed, and it returns to read mode.

Initial commissioning
The device is configured for the particular application situation on site using the
SOPAS ET configuration software on a computer. The default factory settings of the
device are the starting point for this. The default parameter values (configuration data)
in the working memory of the device can be modified for optimization purposes. To
do so, the user creates an application-specific parameter set using the SOPAS ET
configuration software, or edits the parameter set later as required. The user then loads
the current parameter set into the permanent parameter memory of the device.
Memory organization for parameter set

external components involved:

NOTE
As part of a data backup plan, always save the current parameter set outside the
device memory. This makes it easier, if necessary (device failure, etc.), to restore, to a
replacement device of the same type, the current parameter set used to date.
External data backup: option 1
