6.29 Replacing a defective Device (Expert user)
In the unlikely event that a Device has failed and needs to be replaced by another Device, the
IQ Easy System has the option of taking over the parameters and settings of the defective
Device when connecting the replacement Device. The user does not have to re-enter all
parameters and settings for this.
However, to make this possible, the parameters and settings of the defective Device must still
be present on the system or must be stored on the system. This is described in Section 6.28.3.
There are several options for transferring the information from the original Device to the replacement
Device. These options will now be described.
6.29.1 The Device information is still available in the memory of the Manager IQ Easy.
If a defective Device is no longer able to communicate with the Manager IQ Easy or if a Device
is disconnected from the IQ Easy system, the Manager IQ Easy will detect this via a “
Device
disconnected
” notification to the user. At that time, the status colour of the Device is red
and the Device icon replaced with a
.
The user still has access to the Device’s settings at the time before the Device was disconnected.
The Device must now be reported as ‘Disconnected’ before the new Device can be connected.
Follow the procedure described in Section 6.28.3 to save the settings on the system. For the question
“
Device will be removed. Save params?
”, choose “
YES
”.
Now follow the procedure in Section 6.29.2 to connect the new Device and transfer the settings
from the defective Device to the new Device.
6.29.2 The Device information is stored on the system.
If a defective Device is no longer able to communicate with the Manager IQ Easy or if a Device
is disconnected from the IQ Easy system, the Manager IQ Easy will detect this via a “
Device
disconnected
” notification to the user.
The user has, as described in Section 6.28.3, the possibility to actually remove the Device from
the system.
If, when deleting the settings of the defective Device, the user has chosen to save the settings
to the Manager IQ Easy, these saved settings can be transferred to a newly connected Device
using the following procedure.
Connect a new Device not previously connected to an IQ Easy System to the corresponding
port of the Manager IQ Easy or the Extension IQ Easy.
The following screen will then appear (the port number and device name may differ).
