The cloning function serves as a basis for performing the following tasks, for
example:
•
Manually transferring an identical parameter set to multiple devices of
the same type on the PROFINET network (cloning). The PN name of each
device must be adjusted in coordination with the PROFINET controller.
•
In the event of a device fault, a convenient and rapid manual transfer of
the currently valid parameter set to an exchange unit of the same type in
the read station.
Automated saving to the external storage medium is triggered by saving the para‐
meter set in the device with the “permanent” option, e.g., via the SOPAS ET config‐
uration software.
•
Other functions available on request.
The first time a parameter set is stored, we recommend using an empty memory card.
b
If necessary, check and delete the contents of your current card on the PC using a
card reader.
Device access to the memory card
NOTE
The device does not directly signal access (read, write) to the memory card.
By observing the sensor LED, it is possible to tell when the storage process has been
completed when the parameter set is saved with the “permanent” option:
•
When the device starts saving, the sensor LED in the “Device Ready” indicator
function goes out.
•
When the device has finished saving, the sensor LED in the “Device Ready” indica‐
tor function LED lights up blue again.
NOTICE
Possible data loss!
b
Do not remove the memory card or switch off the supply voltage as long as the
following initiated operations are still being executed on the device using the
SOPAS ET configuration software:
■
Permanent change to the parameter set by saving with the “permanent”
option.
Inserting the memory card in the device:
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the memory card!
b
To avoid damaging the memory card, make sure the device is de-energized when
you insert or remove the card. For this purpose, disconnect the device from the
supply voltage accordingly.
Access to the card slot
The card slot for the memory card is located beneath the black rubber cover fitted at
the side over the corner on the device.
