Setting the time-of-day after inserting a C-PLUG
After you have inserted the C-PLUG in a new device, check the time-of-day on the device to
make sure the certificates are still valid.

that have already been used in other device types and formatted for these device types must
not be used.

C-PLUG cannot be used with the device type
Before you use a formatted C-PLUG for another device, you will need to reset the
SCALANCE S device to the factory settings by pressing the reset button and then download
the required project to the SCALANCE S device. The use of C-PLUGs that are formatted
without a module ID is possible without resetting to the factory settings.
