Approach
1. Install the latest version of the SOPASET configuration software. In this case,
select the “Complete” option as suggested by the installation wizard. Administrator
rights may be required on the computer to perform the installation.
2. Start “SOPAS ET” after completing the installation.
✓
SOPASET automatically starts the search for connected devices. Connected devi‐
ces are displayed in the Device Search window.
3. Select the desired device in the list of available devices.
Default IP addresses:
°
P1 and P2: 192.168.1.1
°
P3: 192.168.0.1
°
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
If necessary, install an updated device description file for the device.
4. Click on Add to establish communication.
✓
SOPASET establishes communication with the device, loads its current device
description (parameters), and displays the device in the New Project window.
5. Log into the device.
6.4 External data back-up
Manual data backup using project file
The parameter set can be manually saved on the computer as a project file (*.sopas).
This is the generally recommended procedure. Using the project file, the parameter set
can be transferred to a replacement device via download.
Automatic data backup
An additional storage medium is required to automatically save the parameter set
to an external location. The device is permanently connected to the external storage
medium. The externally stored parameter set is also updated automatically each time
the parameterization is permanently saved.
External storage medium
■
MicroSD memory card (cloning function)
Once it is switched on, the device automatically detects an external storage medium.
The subsequent device behavior depends on the content of the storage medium. The
goal is for the internal parameter set and the parameter set saved externally to always
be identical.
Content of the storage
medium
Device behavior
Empty Once the parameter set is permanently saved, the device also
saves the internal parameter set on the storage medium. The
prerequisite is that there is enough storage space.
No parameter set possible
to interpret
Parameter set possible to
interpret
After being switched on, the device automatically loads the com‐
patible parameter set from the external storage medium into the
working memory and internal, permanent parameter memory. The
device then starts with its new valid parameter set.
