C-PLUG (configuration plug)
Area of application
The C-PLUG is an exchangeable medium for storage of the configuration and project
engineering data of the basic device (SCALANCE S). This means that the configuration data
remains available if the basic device is replaced.
How it works
Power is supplied by the basic device. The C-PLUG retains all data permanently when the
power is turned off.
Removing the C-PLUG
It is only necessary to remove the C-PLUG if the basic device fails (hardware fault).
NOTICE
Check the operating status
The C-PLUG may only be removed when the power is off.
Replacing the C-PLUG
NOTICE
Damage to hardware by replacing during operation
Replacing the C-PLUG during operation can lead to damage to the hardware (device and
C-PLUG).
Replace the C-PLUG only when the device is turned off.
