10.11 Replacing a CLX (copying the parameter set)
There are two methods of replacing a CLX and transferring the current parameter set to the
new device:
•
by downloading the parameters from CLV-Setup
•
by importing the parameter set from the external memory
The parameter set can only be transferred between identical device types (e. g. from one
CLX 490-0010 to another CLX 490-0010, etc.).
10.11.1 Downloading the parameter set
To download the parameter set, you must connect a PC running the "CLV-Setup" software
to the replacement device. The parameter set of the CLX that is to be replaced must be
available as a configuration file in CLV-Setup, otherwise the device must be parameterized
from scratch.
1.
Disconnect the power supply to the AMV/S 60 Connection Module (of the CLX).
2.
Disconnect all cable connectors from the CLX.
3.
Remove the CLX from the bracket.
Before doing so, mark the position and alignment on the bracket/station.
4.
Mount, align, and connect the replacement device.
5.
Connect the PC to the terminal interface on the CLX using an RS 232 cable
(AMV/S 60: connect the PC to the internal, 9-pin "Service" plug).
Chapter 5.5.6 Connecting the PC, Page 5-15
.
6.
Switch on the power supply to the AMV/S 60.
Once the CLX has started, the "Device Ready" LED lights up.
7.
Switch on your PC and start Windows.
8.
Start CLV-Setup.
If the communication parameters on the PC and CLX are identical, CLV-Setup uploads
the parameter set from the CLX and displays the values on the tabs.
9.
Open the archived parameter set as a configuration file "*.scl" in CLV-Setup and down-
load it to the CLX.
10. Confirm the dialog box by choosing the T
EMPORARY
storage option.
11. Check whether the CLX reads the bar codes correctly.
Correct the parameter settings if necessary.
12. Finally, download the tested parameter set to the CLX and save it with the P
ERMANENT
storage option.
The parameter set is transferred permanently to the replacement device.
13. Save the modified parameter set as a new configuration file in CLV-Setup.
Troubleshooting
If the software version on the replacement device is older than the version on the old device
(e. g. new device is from warehouse stock), the parameter set transferred may contain cod-
ed parameters or parameter values that cannot be interpreted by the older software. The
new device, however, outputs an error message in CLV-Setup for each of these parame-
ters/values when the parameter set is downloaded.
