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 several 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
storage 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 three methods are performed automatically by the device. The fourth method
is operated manually by the user.
Available options for transferring the configuration data:
1
Transfer of the current configuration data using the optional microSD memory
card removed from the device to be replaced.
Prerequisite:
If there is sufficient memory capacity on the microSD memory card, the configura‐
tion data from the last save operation in the device with the
Permanent
option was
automatically saved on the memory card.
It is not necessary to connect a computer with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
2
Transfer of the current configuration data using the optional CMC600 parameter
cloning module in the optional CDB or CDM connection module.
Prerequisite:
The device to be replaced was continuously operated connected to the connection
module. If the optional microSD memory card and CMC600 parameter cloning
module are present, the configuration data in the parameter cloning module has
higher priority.
It is not necessary to connect a computer with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
3
Transfer of the current configuration data using the parameter memory in the
optional CDF600 bus connection module.
Prerequisite:
The device to be replaced was continuously operated in proxy mode connected
to the bus connection module. If the optional microSD memory card and bus
connection module are present, the configuration data in the bus connection
module has higher priority.
It is not necessary to connect a computer with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
4
Transfer of the current configuration data by means of a download from the
computer
.
Prerequisite:
The configuration data of the device was saved on the computer. 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.
