5.4 Module replacement
The configuration data of the RF120C is stored on the local CPU. When necessary, this allows
simple replacement of this communications module without needing to re-load the project
data on the module.
When the CM starts up again, the CPU automatically transfers the stored data to the CM.
You will find information on installing/removing a CM in the section "Installing and
commissioning the RF120C (Page 12)".
