External data backup: option 1
To back up the configuration data outside the device memory, manually save the
current parameter set to the computer as a project file (sopas file). This is the generally
recommended procedure.
External data backup: option 2
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
purpose.
a) By inserting a microSD memory card with sufficient storage capacity into the
device.
b) By connecting the device to a connection module. By equipping the connection
module with a CMC600 parameter cloning module. The CMC600 can be used in a
CDB650-204 or CDM420-0006 connection module.
c) By connecting the device to a CDF600 fieldbus module. By operating the device in
proxy mode.
d) By using a combination of a) plus b) or c)
Operating principle
Save the current parameter set to the permanent parameter memory of the device
using the “permanent” option. The device then automatically also saves the parameter
set to an external, permanent parameter memory.
Depending on the memory module used:
•
To the memory card
•
In the CMC600
•
In the CDF600
•
In both storage media using one of the possible combinations
At each restart after being switched on, the device loads the compatible parameter
set from the external storage medium into its working memory and into its internal,
permanent parameter memory. The parameter set is loaded either from a memory card
or, depending on the configuration, from the CMC600 or CDF600.
At each restart after being switched on, the device loads the compatible parameter set
from the external storage medium into its:
•
Random Access Memory
•
Internal, permanent parameter memory.
The parameter set is loaded either from a memory card or, depending on the configura‐
tion, from the CMC600 or CDF600.
At each restart after being switched on, the device loads the compatible parameter
set from the external storage medium into its working memory and into its internal,
permanent parameter memory. The parameter set is loaded either from a memory card
or, depending on the configuration, from the CMC600 or CDF600.
NOTE
When using both a memory card and CMC600 or CDF600, the device will preferentially
load the parameter set from the CMC600 or CDF600.
In the event of device failure, for example, this approach enables the device to be
quickly and easily replaced with another device of the same type provided the above
prerequisites have been met. This is achieved without any loss of configuration data,
and without having to connect the computer to the SOPAS ET configuration software.
