8.2
Replacing modules (spare part scenario)
8.2.1
Parts replacement for SIMOTION D4x5-2
Kernel/firmware ≥ V4.3
As of SIMOTION V4.3, a module replacement is detected by the controller on the basis of the
serial number. This automatically deletes the non-volatile data and transfers the data backed
up on the CF card to the controller. See Section Replacing modules in the spare part
Kernel/firmware V4.2
If a used D4x5‑2 is used for the module replacement, we recommend that the non-volatile
SIMOTION data be deleted on the used D4x5‑2.
Two options are available for this.

Notes
Module memory reset
Controller via mode selector (po‐
sition "3" MRES). Is available on
all SIMOTION platforms.
Deleting and restoring non-vola‐
tile SIMOTION data
Controller via Service switch (po‐
sition "1").
Is only available on SIMOTION
D.
NOTICE
Unintentional restoration of the default settings instead of memory reset
With a Power OFF/ON, "Restore default settings" is performed instead of "Memory reset" in
switch position "3" (MRES) of the mode switch.
To avoid and unintentional/accidental deletion of the project data on the CF card, we
recommend that the non-volatile SIMOTION data be deleted using the service selector switch.
Restore default settings deletes all the project data on the CF card!
