IWLAN/PB Link PN IO Gateway for Industrial Ethernet / Manual Part B9
Release 1/2005
C79000-G8976-C200-01_vorabversion_01
2.2
C-PLUG (Configuration Plug)
C-Plug Removable Memory Medium As an Alternative to Flash Memory
The IWLAN/PB Link PN IO has an internal flash memory for storage of the project
engineering data. As an option, the device can be operated with a C-PLUG
(configuration plug) removable memory medium.
The IWLAN/PB Link PN IO can be operated with or without a C-PLUG. The
existing flash memory is then only used when no C-PLUG is inserted.
If a C-PLUG is inserted, the project engineering data is always stored on it. This
simplifies replacement of modules. By simply exchanging the C-PLUG, all the data
can be transferred to the replacement module.
Notice
S
If a C-PLUG is inserted, that does not contain valid formatting or no valid data
for the IWLAN/PB Link PN IO will not start up! Device status: “STOP with
error”.
In this case, you must reformat the C-PLUG (with NCM diagnostics) or replace
it with a C-PLUG containing valid data.
S
The C-PLUG may only be inserted for removed when the power is turned off!
