The prerequisite for automatically backing up the current parameter set data outside
the device memory is to have an additional external storage medium. The device can
optionally be permanently connected to an external parameter memory for this pur‐
pose.
Possible external storage media:
a) By inserting a microSD memory card with sufficient storage capacity into the
device.
b) By connecting a CDB or CDM connection module to the device. The connection
module is equipped with a CMC600 parameter cloning module.
c) By connecting the device to a CDF600 fieldbus module and operating it in proxy
mode.
d) If necessary, by using a combination of a) plus b) or c)
NOTE
To ensure that the MicroSD memory card functions reliably, only use types approved by
SICK.

Functionality
The user saves the current parameter set to the permanent parameter memory of the
device using the Permanent option. In addition, the user manually saves the parameter
set as a project file (sopas file with configuration data) on the computer.
The device then automatically also saves the parameter set to an external, permanent
parameter memory.
Depending on the selected backup plan, the parameter set is saved either to a MicroSD
memory card, in the CMC600, in the CDF600 or, when using one of the supported com‐
binations, in both storage media (see above).
At each restart after being switched on, the device automatically loads the compatible
parameter set from the external storage medium into its working memory and into its
internal, permanent parameter memory. This enables a device, e.g. in the event of a
device failure, to be quickly exchanged with a replacement device of the same type.
This is achieved without any loss of configuration data, and without having to connect
the computer to the SOPAS ET configuration software.
