1) Replacing a defective FRAM. If the FRAM is defective and commissioning cannot be performed, a new FRAM can be requested from the Göttingen plant. To
properly process requests, you must include the ABB order number and device number of the sensor. After installing the FRAM and switching on the power
supply, you can commission the system. Review all sensor data and setup data for the system, and enter this information again, if necessary.
