3.5 C-PLUG
IE/PB LINK PN IO
40 Operating Instructions, 11/2017, C79000-G8976-C393-02
Response when adopting data / actions
• Internal memory with configuration
data
• C-PLUG is plugged in.
• Configuration data is to be adopted
on the C-PLUG from internal
memory.
The following situations are possible:
• The C-PLUG has data written to it:
Format the C-PLUG using special
diagnostics. The data on the C-
PLUG is deleted.
The LINK then restarts.
• The C-PLUG is brand new (without
device ID):
Turn the power supply for the LINK
off and on again.
When the LINK starts up, the configura-
tion data is loaded on the C-PLUG from
the internal memory. The configuration
data in the internal memory is deleted.
The LINK runs with the configuration
data transferred to the C-PLUG from
the internal memory.
1)
• Internal memory with configuration
data
• C-PLUG with valid but incorrect
configuration data is plugged in ac-
cidentally.
• Both sets of configuration data
(internal memory and C-PLUG)
should be retained, LINK should
continue to run with internal config-
uration data.
Back up the configuration data of the
internal memory with STEP 7 STEP 7
(with "Upload from device").
3)
Turn off the power to the LINK and
remove the incorrectly inserted C-
PLUG.
Turn on the power to the LINK and
download the configuration data
backed up in STEP 7 to the LINK.
The LINK continues to run with the
internal configuration data.
• Internal memory with configuration
data
• C-PLUG with valid but incorrect
configuration data is plugged in ac-
cidentally.
• Both sets of configuration data
(internal memory and C-PLUG)
should be retained, LINK should
continue to run with internal config-
uration data.
The power to the LINK must be
switched off.
Remove the incorrectly inserted C-
PLUG.
Insert a C-PLUG without a device ID
(e.g. brand new).
Switch on the power of the LINK.
The data previously stored in the inter-
nal memory is transferred to the new C-
PLUG.
The LINK continues to run with the
original internal configuration data,
which is now located on the new C-
PLUG.
The incorrectly inserted C-PLUG still
has its original data.
When used as a PROFINET IO device: Only the PROFINET device name and the I&M data are stored retentively on the
C-PLUG. Configuration data is transferred from the PROFINET IO controller at each new startup and entered in the
temporary memory.
If the C-PLUG for the LINK does not contain valid configuration data, the device does not start up. In this case, use the
diagnostics of STEP 7 for further clarification and possibly to format the C-PLUG.
3)
Only possible when using as "Gateway in standard mode".
Backing up configuration data of the LINK
If the C-PLUG has not been written to (factory status), when the device starts up all
configuration data of the LINK is automatically backed up.
Changes to the configuration during operation are also backed up on the C-PLUG.
