the Ethernet interface is active, the PL data logger will automatically synchronize with the
PLEXLOG server within the next 15 minutes.
All further configurations of the plant can be performed remotely via the PLEXLOG remote
configuration tool when the Internet connection is active. The remote configuration tool is
available for download in your PLEXLOG portal under "My Portal" -> "Downloads". Further
documentation material can be found at qr.plexlog.de in the latest version.
In order to immediately ensure that the communication to the server works, it is
recommended to perform a test via the "manual server synchronization". To do this, tap
"Configuration" in the top right of the display and select the "Manual server
synchronization" button in the right-hand column.
If there is no Internet connection, the necessary configurations must be made locally in the
menu of the PL data logger. Please also read the manual for the PLEXLOG PL series.
Restore when replacing a PL data logger
When replacing a defective PL data logger, for example, no historical yield data or
configuration settings need to be transferred from the old to the new PL data logger.
The PL data logger has a very practical function for this purpose when commissioning the
new PL data logger on an existing plant. Start the PL data logger (see Commissioning and
updating the PL data logger). The "Installation Wizard" of the PL data logger appears (see
Figure 3).
Press the "Restore" button via the touch display and make sure that the new PL data logger
is connected to the Internet via the Ethernet interface.
On the following page use the ID and password used by the exchanged data logger and
enter them. Confirm with "Synchronize from Internet". The PL data logger synchronizes
with the PLEXLOG server, sets itself up automatically and takes over the entire
configuration of the old PL data logger. The new PL data logger restarts itself after
successful synchronization and resumes normal operation.
If you do not know the ID and password, you can find this information in the settings area
for the system in your PLEXLOG portal. If you have any questions, your PLEXLOG
administrator or the PLEXLOG hotline will help you.
