14.1 Device replacement
The device allows for a quick device replacement. It is equipped with a replaceable
SD memory card on which all device data is stored. If the device has to be replaced,
the plant can be started up again quickly by simply exchanging the SD memory card.
14.1.1 Prerequisites for successful device replacement
Observe the following:
• The devices that you want to exchange must be identical. If the devices have dif-
ferent configurations, a successful device replacement cannot be guaranteed.
• You must save the data of the device to be replaced on the SD memory card be-
fore you replace the device. SEW‑EURODRIVE recommends to always backup
the data right after starting up a device.
• Insert or remove the SD memory card only when the device is switched off.
• With programmable devices, note that the status display depends on program-
ming. The module for the data backup function (data management) must be integ-
rated in the program.
14.1.2 Replacing the device
Proceed as follows:
1. Perform a data backup via MOVITOOLS
®
MotionStudio if you are not certain
whether the current device parameterization is stored on the SD memory card.
2. Disconnect the device from the supply system.
3. Remove it from the system.
4. Remove the memory card cover from the housing cover.
5. To do so, remove the SD memory card from the device to be replaced.
6. Insert the SD memory card into the new device.
7. Install the new device in the plant. Connect it to the supply system.
8. Switch on the new device.
INFORMATION
The device performs several initialization steps. Do not switch off the device during
this time.
