3.3.12 Ext. Backup/Restore Module
The Weidmüller’s external backup and restore module IE-EBR-MODULE-RS232-ALM (Part No.
2682610000) is a standalone electronic unit that can be used to backup and restore the configuration
of managed Weidmüller switches. The device will be connected to the switch’s serial console port
and is powered via the console port.
This module allows the user to save and restore configuration files without PC. It is also a very useful
tool for creating cloned devices based on a stored Master Switch configuration to speed up mass
configuration.
The web page Ext. Backup/Restore Module allows the user to enable or disable the use of this
IE-EBR-MODULE-RS232-ALM module in the switch.
