3.2.8.3 Automated Configuration Recovery (ACR)
ACI is a Flexi Soft main module function. This function can be used to store the configu‐
r
ation of the devices connected via EFI. When the ACR function is active and a device is
exchanged, the existing configuration is automatically transmitted to the newly-con‐
nected scanner.
NOTE
To use the ACR function, the replacement device must be of the same type (same type
code).
Prerequisites for using the ACR function
•
F
lexi Soft main module FX3-CPU2 or higher
•
Flexi Soft Designer version V1.5.0 or higher
•
Configuration and Diagnostic Software (CDS) version V3.6.8 or higher
NOTE
•
T
he scanner configuration can only be changed when ACR is deactivated.
•
If a configuration is detected that has been created using the ACR function, a
warning is displayed in the CDS. In this case you need to deactivate the ACR func‐
tion on this EFI string in the Flexi Soft Designer so the configuration can be
changed.
•
This warning also appears when a device for which ACR was previously activated is
to be used in a new environment or is to be reconfigured.
WARNING
P
ersons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of non-
observance.
When the ACR function is active, it automatically overwrites the scanner configuration
with the configuration stored in the Flexi Soft main module.
b
After setting up the ACR function or replacing a scanner, check the safety function
of the devices.
For more details on ACR, see the Flexi Soft Hardware (SICK part no. 8012477) and
F
lexi Soft Software (SICK part no. 8012479) operating instructions.
