Important information
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to hot device surface.
The surface of the product can become hot.
•
Before performing work on the product (e.g. mounting, cleaning, disassembly),
switch off the product and allow it to cool down.
•
Ensure good dissipation of excess heat from the product to the surroundings.
Transferring configuration data
The current configuration data can be transferred to a replacement product via down‐
load from the computer. The configuration data of the product is combined as a
parameter set. The replacement product saves the parameter set to the permanent
parameter memory.
Prerequisites:
•
Product type identical
•
Project file (*.sopas) with current configuration data
•
Connecting a computer to SOPAS ET
Removing the product to be replaced:
1. Switch off the supply voltage to the product that is to be replaced.
2. Mark the position and alignment of the product on the bracket or surroundings.
3. Disconnect and remove all connecting cables from the product.
4. Remove the product from the bracket.
Putting the replacement product into operation
1. Mount and align the replacement product. When doing so, note the previously
applied markings on the bracket or surroundings.
2. Reconnect the connecting cables to the replacement product.
3. Switch on the supply voltage for the replacement product.
✓
The product starts with its last permanently saved parameter set. In the case of
products that have not been used before, this corresponds to the factory default
setting.
4. Establish a connection with the replacement product using the SOPASET configu‐
ration software.
5. Transfer the configuration data of the product to be replaced by downloading to
the replacement product and permanently store this data in the device.
