ment the (new) module then reads the configuration from the
socket EPROM and adjusts appropriately.
Tip
With hot swap activated you should also set the address via the
base (Section 4.1.2).
Push the DIP switch 8 upwards (ON, refer also to Fig. 4-1 on
page 22) to deactivate hot swap. Any content present in the
EPROM is not read in this case and the module configuration is
used. Af
ter plug-in – once the module excitation is present – the
module configuration is automatically transferred into the socket
and saved, so that the same configuration is present in the socket
as in the module.
Transferring the configuration to the base
When the configuration is changed via the test.commander pro-
gram, the new configuration is automatically transferred to the
base. I
n this way it is ensured that the same configuration is
always present both in the base and in the module.
Replacing bases
1. You deactivate hot swap in the new socket as follows: Push
DIP switch 8 upwards (ON).
2. Mount the new socket (Section 4.1.4, page 25) and switch the
supply voltage on again.
3. Plug in the (old) module.
The module configuration is automatically transferred to the
new socket
(flashing LEDs).
4. Wait until the loading process has finished, i.e. until the LEDs
no longer flash.
5.
Withdraw the module again (Fig. 4-7, page 30).
6. Push DIP switch 8 downwards again to (OFF).
Next time the module is plugged in, the dat
a will then be read
from the socket again.
4.1.2 Setting the address (optional)
The address is set in binary form with the first six switches. The
address 0 corresponds to no configuration, i.e. an inserted mod-
ule retains the address assigned via software. With
new modules
fresh from the factory you always have to assign an address,
either via the DIP switch or via software, because otherwise sev-
eral modules use the same address (default: 1) and are therefore
not ca
pable of measurement within a data bus; refer to
