Replacing the device
Transferring configuration data
The current configuration data of the device to be replaced can be transferred to a
replacement device. Data transmission depends on the selected data backup concept
when configuring the device to be replaced. The configuration data of the device is
combined as a parameter set. The replacement device saves the parameter set to the
permanent parameter memory. More information,
see "Initial commissioning", page 33
"External data back-up", page 35
.
Prerequisites:
•
Device type identical
•
External storage medium with the current configuration data

Prerequisite for configuration back-
up
Data transmission
MicroSD memory
card
The configuration data is automati‐
cally saved on the memory card dur‐
ing the last save operation in the
device with the
Permanent
option.
The prerequisite is sufficient storage
capacity on the microSD memory
card.
Connecting a computer to SOPAS ET
is not necessary.
The device automatically transmits
the data.
Project file
(*sopas)
The configuration data is saved inde‐
pendently as a project file (*.sopas)
on the computer after configuration
of the device to be replaced.
Transfer the configuration data inde‐
pendently via download to the
replacement device and save it there
permanently.
Removing the device to be replaced:
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the memory card!
b
To avoid damaging the microSD memory card, make sure the device is
de-ener‐
gized
when you insert or remove the card. For this purpose, disconnect the device
from the supply voltage.
1.
Switch off the supply voltage to the device that is to be replaced.
2.
Mark the position and alignment of the device on the bracket or surroundings.
3.
Disconnect and remove all connecting cables of the device.
4.
Remove the device from the bracket.
5.
Backed-up configuration data: if an optional microSD memory card is installed in
the device, remove the memory card with the backed-up parameter set.
Putting the replacement device into operation:
1.
Backed-up configuration data: install the optional microSD memory card from the
device that is to be replaced in the replacement device of the same type.
2.
Mount and align the replacement device (
). When doing
so, note the previously applied markings on the bracket or surroundings.
