Replacing the device
10.7.1
Reusing the current configuration data
The configuration data of the device is combined as a parameter set. The replacement
device saves the parameter set to the permanent parameter memory.
The current configuration data of the device to be replaced can be transferred to a
replacement device in four ways.
Prerequisites:
•
The replacement device is a device of the same type
•
The current configuration data for the device to be replaced is accessible in a stor‐
age medium outside the device memory
The available options depend on the backup plan chosen by the user back at the time
of installation, and the configuration of the device now needing to be replaced.
The first three methods are performed semi-automatically by the device depending on
the setup. The fourth method is performed 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 permanent save operation in the device using the “Permanent”
option was automatically saved on the card.
2
Transfer of the current configuration data using the optional CMC600 parameter
cloning module in the optional CDB or CDM connection module.
It is not necessary to connect a PC or laptop with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
Prerequisite:
The device to be replaced was continuously operated in conjunction with a
CMC600 parameter cloning module in the connection module. If both a memory
card and a CM600 parameter cloning module are present, the configuration data
in the CMC600 parameter cloning module have higher priority.
3
Transfer of the current configuration data using the parameter memory in the
optional CDF600 bus connection module.
It is not necessary to connect a PC or laptop with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
Prerequisite:
The device to be replaced was continuously operated in proxy mode on the CDF
bus connection module. If a memory card and a bus connection module are
present, the configuration data in the CDF bus connection module has higher pri‐
ority.
4
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.
