2.1Intended use
The RFU62x RFID read/write device is an intelligent 4Dpro sensor from the SICK
RFU6xx (UHF) product family. Version (working range): Mid Range.
The device is used for the automated, fixed identification of wireless-based data cards
(transponders) on moving or stationary objects, and for the management of these data
cards. The RFU620 base model processes all standard passive transponders in accor‐
dance with EPCglobal UHF C1G2 and ISO/IEC 18000-6C in the regional UHF carrier fre‐
quency range.
Thanks to its intelligent process logic, the device can be used either as a stand-alone
solution or as part of a group in a CAN network. In read mode, the device transmits the
results via a host interface to a higher-level computer (e.g. PLC) for further centralized
processing.
The compact device includes an internal antenna that is integrated into the housing.
The various device variants offer different connection options and data interfaces.
The device can be operated within a wide ambient temperature range. For details, see
"Technical data", page 82

3.2.2Working range of the antenna (sensing range of the reading and writing field)
The UHF field is influenced by its environment, making it impossible to provide a “clear”
demarcation of the sensin range:
Application-specific reflections can result in both overreaches and “holes”
•
(destructive interferences).
Other factors that can significantly impact the sensing range include:
•
Quality of the transponder (antenna gain, the integrated transponder IC and
°
related sensitivity, reflected energy)
Material of the carrier object (plastic, wood, metal)
°
Objects between the device and transponder that can affect the UHF field
°
(items, liquids, people)
In addition to the read results, the RFU device can also output diagnostic data that pro‐
vide an indication of the write and read quality. This data can be used to achieve opti‐
mum read results when setting up the system.
The radiation pattern shown here for the device’s antenna was obtained in a repro‐
ducible environment (absorber chamber as a reflection-free space) for illustrative pur‐
poses. It may therefore only have limited applicability to your specific application. The
diagram shows how the UHF field propagates in a reflection-free space, but cannot be
used to draw any conclusions on the likely sensing range in a real on-site application.

NOTE
The memory card is an optional accessory and is not included in the scope of delivery.
Functions
The device can execute the following functions on the plug-in microSD memory card:
Saving the parameter set (cloning function)
•
Semi-automatic, additional storage of the internal parameter set (device configura‐
tion data) on an external memory medium. This takes place in the framework of
the recommended backup concept for the 4Dpro device parameter sets.
Subject to change without notice
Page 23
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 3
This function is initiated by using the “permanent” option to save the internal
°
parameter set, e.g. via the SOPAS ET configuration software.
The function is used, among other things, to conveniently transfer the para‐
°
meter set to an replacement device of the same type in the event of an fault.
Optional external media include a microSD memory card that can be inserted
°
into the device, or the CMC600 parameter storage module in the CDB or
CDM connection module. Only the microSD memory card option is available
for the RFU62x-105xx.
Recording of diagnostic read data
•
Continuous recording of diagnostic read data after the first manual start, e.g., via
SOPAS ET. Recording is resumed after a device restart if the function has been
permanently set.
Other functions on request.
•
We recommend using an empty memory card when storing a parameter set for the first
time (if necessary, use a PC and card reader to check and delete the contents of the
card).
NOTE
Only use types approved by SICK to ensure reliable function of the memory card. You
can find these as accessories online at:
www.sick.com/RFU62x
•
The memory cards have no write protection that can be activated.
Indication of operational readiness
The “microSD” optical indicator shows the status of the memory card after installation
in the device. It lights up in different colors according to the status, see "Optical status
indicators on the display panel", page 71.
NOTICE
Possible data loss!
When the indicator is green (operational), this does not mean that the device is actually
accessing the memory card for reading or writing.
Do not remove the memory card or switch off the supply voltage while the device is
b
performing the following actions via the SOPAS ET configuration software:
■
Changing the parameter values by saving using the “permanent” option.
■
Starting functions that access the memory card (e.g. concurrent logging of
data)
Inserting the memory card in the device:
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the memory card!
To safely install the memory card, make sure there is no power to the device
b
before you insert it.

Interpretation of the stored parameter set
The device automatically detects that a memory card has been inserted and, depend‐
ing on the card’s content, behaves as follows:
■
If the card is empty or if it contains a parameter set that cannot be interpreted by
the device, the device saves its currently valid internal parameter set to the card
(provided there is sufficient storage space) and starts with the internal parameter
set.
■
If the card contains a parameter set that can be interpreted by the device, the
device overwrites the currently valid, permanently saved internal parameter set
with this external parameter set.
■
The goal is for the internal parameter set and the parameter set saved externally
to always be identical.
Removing the memory card from the device:
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the memory card!
To safely remove the memory card while the device is in operation:
b
In SOPAS ET, execute the Remove SD card command under Analysis/SD card and
°
wait for SOPAS ET to provide confirmation.
If this command is not accessible, the memory card can also be removed
°
when there is no power to the device.

“holes” (destructive interferences) in the UHF field, try to ensure that there are no
metal surfaces located to the side of the device in the direction of the transpon‐
der.
■
To avoid damping of the UHF field due to absorption, do not allow any electrically
conductive material such as liquids (water) or persons to come between the device
and the transponder

5.4Mounting the device
WARNING
Risk of injury due to damage to the device
For reasons of safety, if a device shows visible signs of damage do not put it into opera‐
tion, or take it out of operation immediately. Damage includes, for example:
Housing: Cracked or broken
•
Electrical connections: cracks or detachment from the housing
•
Device with fixed cable: Damage to the cable outlet or cable itself
•
MOUNTING 5
Metal surfaces located to the side of and in the vicinity of the device
Electrically conductive liquids between the antenna and transponder
Persons between the antenna and transponder
NOTICE
Risk of damaging the device!
Observe the maximum screw-in depth of the blind tapped holes on the device. Longer
screws than specified damage the device.
Use screws of suitable length.
b
Basic arrangement of the device to the transponders
UHF transponders have dipole antennas and therefore preferential directions when
transmitting or receiving within the radiation field of the antenna. The transmitting and
receiving performance will be higher or lower depending on the orientation of the dipole
antenna of the transponder to the axis perpendicular to the antenna surface. The read‐
ing and writing rate and sensing range can therefore be subject to fluctuations.
NOTE
If the dipole antenna of the transponder is oriented lengthwise along the axis perpen‐
dicular to the antenna surface, no reading or writing of the transponder will be possible.

Mounting and aligning the device
NOTICE
Avoid mutual interference when operating several devices
When the reading ranges of several independently operated devices overlap, this can
lead to mutual impairment of the system performance of the devices.
To avoid these situations, each of the devices support a SyncMode feature.
SyncMode enables several devices connected to the same Ethernet network to synchro‐
nize their reading responses. SyncMode ensures that only one device at a time is per‐
forming a read operation and therefore communicating over the air interface.
SyncMode is available for all devices in the RFU6xx product family that have an Ether‐
net interface.
SyncMode is not supported for RFU62x-104xx devices (serial variant).
1.Prepare the base for mounting the bracket of the device, see "Preparation for
mounting", page 27.
Recommendation: Depending on the application it may be possible to use one of
the optional SICK brackets. If necessary, perhaps also in combination with other
SICK brackets.
2.At the intended reading location, place an object with transponder within the work‐
ing range of the device (static object only).
3.Mount the device bracket onto the base.
4.Tighten screws through the bracket into the blind tapped holes of the device and
slightly tighten.
5.Orient the front side of the device towards the object.

6.1Safety
6.1.1Notes on electrical installation
Electrical installation must only be performed by electrically qualified personnel.
•
Standard safety requirements must be observed when working on electrical sys‐
•
tems!
Electrical connections between the device and other devices may only be made or
•
separated in a voltage-free state. Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the
devices.
All connection work must be performed at ambient temperatures above 0 °C, see
•
"Ambient data", page 85
Connect the device to the permissible supply voltage only, see "Connecting the
•
supply voltage", page 55.
Only switch on the supply voltage to the device (or optional connection module or
•
fieldbus module depending on the type), after first:
Completing the connection work
°
Carefully checking the wiring work
°
Where connecting cables with one end open are concerned, make sure that bare
•
wire ends are not touching (risk of short circuit when the supply voltage is switched
on). Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other. This also applies to
unused wires.
The wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the user’s power system must be
•
selected in accordance with the applicable national standards. When this is being
done in Germany, observe the following standards: DIN VDE 0100 (Part 430) and
DIN VDE 0298 (Part 4) and/or DIN VDE 0891 (Part 1).
The wire cross-sections of the data and, if applicable, switching signal cables must
•
also be selected in accordance with the applicable national standards.
Circuits connected to the device must be designed as SELV circuits (SELV = Safety
•
Extra Low Voltage). The voltage supply must meet SELV requirements in accor‐
dance with the currently applicable standards, see "Mechanics and electronics",
page 84.
34
NOTE
For additional instructions on operating the device at ambient temperatures below
0 °C, see "Prerequisites", page 49
Data cables
NOTE
Layout of data cables
Use shielded data cables with twisted-pair wires.
•
The possible cable length between the device and host computer depends on:
•
the chosen physical version of the host interface
°
the data transmission rate set in the device
°
For further information, see "Wiring data interfaces", page 58.
Implement the shielding design correctly and completely.
•
To avoid interference, always use EMC-compliant cables and layouts. This applies,
•
for example, to cables for switched-mode power supplies, motors, clocked drives,
and contactors.
Do not lay cables in parallel with voltage supply cables or motor cables in cable
•
channels over longer distances.

Conditions for specified enclosure rating
To maintain the specified enclosure rating of the device (IP67 or IP65) during operation,
the following requirements must be met. If these requirements are not met, the device
does not fulfill any specified enclosure rating.
All variants:
•
The side cover for the USB socket and the microSD card slot must be screwed
tight to the device. Recommended tightening torque for the cover screws: 60 Ncm
±5 Nm.
RFU62x-101xx and RFU62x-105xx (both IP67):
•
The cables plugged into the electrical M12 connections must be clamped. Unused
M12 connections must be fitted with screw-on protective caps (for male connec‐
tors) or plugs (for female connectors) as supplied.
RFU62x-104xx (serial variant, IP65):
•
When lengthening the connecting cable of the device: use a suitable seal between
the male connector and female connector of the D-Sub pin connectors on each of
the cables and screw the pin connectors together. You can find a suitable IP65
rubber seal online at: www.sick.com/RFU62x
The same also applies to the EMC requirement (ESD) according to CE.
•
NOTICE
The device can, if necessary, be operated for a short time without the side cover to per‐
form the following tasks:
Inserting or removing the optional memory card
•
Temporary use of the USB interface as a servicing interface
•
During this time, protect the device against moisture and dust.
6.1.2Prerequisites for safe operation of the device
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical current!
As a result of equipotential bonding currents between the device and other grounded
devices in the system, faulty grounding of the device can give rise to the following dan‐
gers and faults:
■
Metal housings are vulnerable to dangerous currents.
■
Devices will behave incorrectly or be destroyed.
■
Cable shielding will be damaged by overheating and cause cable fires.
Remedial measures
■
Only skilled electricians should be permitted to carry out work on the electrical sys‐
tem.
■
If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the voltage supply immediately and
have the damage repaired.
■
Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all grounding points.
■
Where local conditions do not meet the requirements for a safe earthing method,
take appropriate measures (e.g., ensuring low-impedance and current-carrying
equipotential bonding).
The device is connected to the peripheral devices (voltage supply, any local trigger sen‐
sor(s), system controller) via shielded cables. The cable shield – for the data cable,
for example – rests against the metal housing of the device. The device can be
grounded through the cable shield or through a blind tapped hole in the housing,
for example.

If the peripheral devices have metal housings and the cable shields are also in contact
with their housings, it is assumed that all devices involved in the installation have the
same ground potential.
This is achieved by complying with the following conditions:
■
Mounting the devices on conductive metal surfaces
■
Correctly grounding the devices and metal surfaces in the system
■
If necessary: low-impedance and current-carrying equipotential bonding between
areas with different ground potentials

If these conditions are not fulfilled, equipotential bonding currents can flow along the
cable shielding between the devices due to differing ground potentials and cause the
hazards specified. This is, for example, possible in cases where there are devices within
a widely distributed system covering several buildings.
Remedial measures
The most common solution to prevent equipotential bonding currents on cable shields
is to ensure low-impedance and current-carrying equipotential bonding. If this equipo‐
tential bonding is not possible, the following solution approaches serve as a suggestion.
NOTICE
We expressly advise against opening up the cable shields. This would mean that the
EMC limit values can no longer be complied with and that the safe operation of the
device data interfaces can no longer be guaranteed.
Measures for widely distributed system installations
On widely distributed system installations with correspondingly large potential differ‐
ences, the setting up of local islands and connecting them using commercially available
electro-optical signal isolators is recommended. This measure achieves a high degree
of resistance to electromagnetic interference.

The use of electro-optical signal isolators between the islands isolates the ground loop.
Within the islands, a stable equipotential bonding prevents equalizing currents on the
cable shields.
Measures for small system installations
For smaller installations with only slight potential differences, insulated mounting of the
device and peripheral devices may be an adequate solution.

Even in the event of large differences in the ground potential, ground loops are effec‐

and metal housing.
NOTICE
The voltage supply for the device and the connected peripheral devices must also guar‐
antee the required level of insulation.
Under certain circumstances, a tangible potential can develop between the insulated
metal housings and the local ground potential.

6.7.1Note on the reverse voltage protection for the supply voltage of the device
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the device due to possible short-circuit!
Reversing the polarity of the supply voltage may, under certain circumstances, damage
the device due to short circuit currents!
The supply voltage input terminal of the RFID device has been designed to provide
reverse polarity protection by means of an internal circuit protection (blocking diode) on
the positive pole (see figure).
The internal ground corresponds to the negative pole of the supply voltage for the
device. It has a direct galvanic connection to the metal housing of the device for RFrelated technical reasons.
Depending on the mounting location of the RFID device and the reference potential of
the supply voltage, a reversal of the polarity of the applied supply voltage can lead to
the following two situations:

The housing of the RFID device is connected to functional earth. In the optional CDB or
CDM connection module, a fuse acts as an overload protection against too high current
when the supply voltage is applied correctly. A further blocking diode also serves as a
reverse polarity protection.
If the polarity of the supply voltage is reversed, the blocking diodes block the negative
voltage on the positive pole of the RFID device.
NOTICE
The polarity reversal will not cause any damage provided the following two require‐
ments are met for the device:
The negative pole of the applied supply voltage is not connected to functional
•

The device is not connected in an electrically conductive manner to any other
•
peripheral devices that use the same reference potential. Neither through its
metal housing or over other cables (signal relative to GND, shielding).

7.2SOPAS ET configuration software
The SOPAS ET configuration software is the standard tool used to configure the device
for the specific reading and writing situation on site. The optimal configuration data for
the device are permanently saved to the device by the user. The data can also be stored
on the PC as a parameter set (project file) for archiving purposes.
The device can also permanently access the parameter set from an optional external
storage medium. This makes it easier to replace the device if necessary. microSD mem‐
ory cards, or the CMC600 parameter cloning module in the CDB or CDM connection
module are available for this purpose. For more information, see "Initial commission‐
ing", page 68.

Establish a connection between SOPAS ET and the device using the automatically
launched wizard. Access via the Ethernet interface of the device.
To do so, select the relevant device in the list of available devices (default Ethernet
address: IP address: 192.168.0.1, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0).
3.RFU62x-104xx (serial variant):
Establish a connection between SOPAS ET and the device using the automatically
launched wizard. Access via the USB interface rather than the slower RS-232
interface is recommended.
To do so, select the relevant device in the list of available devices.
✓
SOPAS ET establishes communication with the device and loads the associated
device description file. The Quickstart tab opens.
7.3.1Quickstart with default settings
The purpose of the “Quickstart” function in the SOPAS ET configuration software is to
make it simple and easy to obtain first transponder read results using the device. This
mode displays all compatible transponders within the sensing range of the read/write
device based on the current device settings.
NOTICE
Quickstart mode is not intended to be used during normal operation. It requires read
cycle triggering to be configured in the object trigger control settings in SOPAS ET.

7 COMMISSIONING
To use Quickstart, all mounting and electrical installation work must be complete (see
the relevant chapters in these operating instructions).
NOTE
The procedure for using the Quickstart function in the SOPAS ET configuration software
is described in the device-specific Quick Start Guide. A printed copy of this guide is
enclosed with the device. The Quick Start Guide can also be found online at:
www.sick.com/RFU62x
•
The procedure described in the Quick Start Guide is based on the RFU62x-10100
device variant (Ethernet variant, region assignment: Europe) and the default settings.
The permissible ambient temperature range is 0 °C to +50 °C.
For temperatures below 0 °C, see the relevant instructions in the “Mounting” and “Elec‐
trical installation” chapters of these operating instructions.
7.4Initial commissioning
The device is adjusted to the application situation on site using the SOPAS ET configura‐
tion software on the PC. The default factory settings of the device are the starting point
for this. Their parameter values (configuration data) can be adapted in the working
memory of the device for optimization purposes. To do so, the user creates an applica‐
tion-specific parameter set using the SOPAS ET configuration software, or modifies the
parameter set at a later time as required. He then loads the current parameter set to
the permanent parameter memory of the device.

NOTE
As part of a data backup plan, we recommend also saving the current parameter set
outside the device memory. This makes it easier, if necessary (device failure, etc.), to
restore, to a replacement device of the same type, the current parameter set used to
date.
External data backup: option 1
To back up the data outside the device memory, the current parameter set can be man‐
ually saved to the PC as a project file (*.sopas file with configuration data) thereby
archiving the data. 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 pur‐
pose.
7
This can be achieved in one of the following ways:
a)By inserting a microSD memory card with sufficient storage capacity into the
device
b)By connecting a CDB or CDM connection module to the device. The connection
module is equipped with a CMC600 parameter cloning module. The CMC600 can
be used in a CDB620-001, CDB650-204, CDM420-0001 or CDM420-0006 con‐
nection module.
c)By connecting the device to a CDF600 fieldbus module and operating it in proxy
mode.
d)If necessary, by using a combination of a) plus b) or c)
NOTE
Options b, c, d are not supported for RFU62x-105xx (PoE variant).
Operating principle
The user saves 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 config‐
uration, this could be either to a memory card, in the CMC600, in the CDF600 or, when
using one of the supported combinations, in both storage media (see above).
At each restart after being switched on, the device automatically 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 PC to the SOPAS ET configuration software.

8 OPERATION
8.1.2Optical “process feedback” status indicator
The process feedback status indicator uses four LEDs that are located in the corners of
the antenna cover. The LEDs operate synchronously when displaying the status.
The behavior of the indicator (color, brightness, activation condition) can be configured
by the user.
The user can select from the following activation conditions:
Successful transponder handling process. The process consists of: trigger and
•
subsequent read, if applicable also writing of transponder data.
External SOPAS ET command, script
•
A pre-defined or user-defined evaluation condition has occurred.
•
NOTE
Select the activation condition and brightness using a configuration tool, for example
the SOPAS ET configuration software. This indicator can also be deactivated.
Operating mode: Quickstart
This operating mode for detecting transponders in the UHF field is intended for demon‐
stration purposes and for getting familiar with the operation of the device. In this mode,
the device automatically generates continuous read cycles. Contrary to normal read
operation (targeted read cycle triggering), the status indicator provides continuous feed‐
back on the success of the transponder detection.

1. SOPAS ET configuration software
■
Standard configuration tool for the device
■
The configuration software and appropriate device description file need to be
installed on the PC or laptop. These are available online at: www.sick.com/
SOPAS_ET
■
Password-protected configuration at four different operating levels (user levels):
1Run (no entry of password required), no configuration possible
2Maintenance (entry of password required)
3AuthorizedClient (entry of password required)
4Service employee (entry of password required)
The two user levels “Run” and “Maintenance” are only password protected if the
“Parameterization is password-protected” parameter in SOPAS ET is activated. By
default, logging into the device accesses the “AuthorizedClient” user level and
entry of a password is not required in this case.
■
Type-dependent access via a local data interface on the device or via the Ethernet
network.
■
Backup of the parameter set to a location outside the device memory:
Manually to a configuration file on the PC, or
°
Semi-automatically to optional external storage media (microSD memory card
°
or CMC parameter cloning module).
■
Access to the device via the Aux or host interface
■
Organization of the device constellation into projects (stand-alone device or group
of devices via a CAN network)
■
The SOPAS ET configuration software is used for device diagnostics in case of
a fault.

2. Integrated SOPASair web server
NOTE
Function not supported for RFU62x-104xx (serial variant)
■
No installation of configuration software required, an Internet-capable HTML
browser is sufficient. Access to the device by entering an IP address.
■
No administrator rights required, no firewall restrictions.
■
Web server runs directly on the device being contacted (embedded in the
firmware).
■
Access only via the Ethernet interface and by entering the IP address of the
device.
■
Access locally on the device or via the network.
■
Used to configure a stand-alone device.
■
Password-protected configuration at four different operating levels (user levels):
1Run (no entry of password required), no configuration possible
2Maintenance (entry of password required)
3AuthorizedClient (entry of password required)
4Service (entry of password required)
■
Has limited functionality compared to the SOPAS ET configuration software.
The functionality of the web server depends on the firmware version of the device.
3. Command strings (telegrams)
■
Command strings (CoLa) are used to configure device parameters and trigger
device functions (e.g. reading).
■
Command strings can be inputted in telegram style at one of the available data
interfaces (Aux or host interface) of the device. The telegram response of the
device to the command is always sent to the interface on which the telegram was
received. In contrast to this, the read result data can be outputted to all data inter‐
faces except for the USB interface.
■
The communication between the SOPAS ET configuration software and the device
can be monitored and recorded via the terminal emulator in SOPAS ET. Com‐
mands can also be sent to the device. For more details on using the terminal, see
the SOPAS ET manual.
■
Documents listing and describing the available commands strings can be obtained
from SICK on request.
NOTICE
Both the command strings and the SOPAS ET configuration software are based on
a command language that has direct access to the command interpreter of the
device. The command language must be used with care, as the commands
received by the device are executed immediately.
Parameter values modified by means of commands are initially only active in the
current parameter set in the volatile working memory of the device. To perma‐
nently save the modified parameter set, it needs to be copied to the non-volatile
parameter memory using the relevant command. This ensures the changes are
not lost when the supply voltage to the device is switched off.
74
Any changes to the parameter values in the device made using command strings
will only appear in the SOPAS ET configuration software after the following actions:
An upload of the current parameter set from the device, or
•
A synchronization between the device and SOPAS ET

OPERATION 8
4. Control software of a PLC controller
■
The controller of a fieldbus (e.g. PLC) configures the device. For a PROFINET con‐
troller, for example, this is done via PROFINET by means of GSD parameterization.
Backup of the parameter set as a configuration file in the PROFINET controller. The
controller reconfigures the device at every PROFINET restart.
■
Integrating the device into the most important fieldbus systems is made simpler
with SICK function blocks for the relevant bus controller. See the “Downloads /
Software” section online at:
www.sick.com/RFU62x
°
■
Function blocks based on command strings (CoLa).
5. SICK AppStudio development environment
■
Used, for example, to implement user-specific data output protocols for the device.
Based on functionality already pre-installed in the programmable device.
■
The app programmed using SICK AppStudio is loaded onto the device as a sensor
app.

TROUBLESHOOTING 10
10.2Detailed fault analysis
10.2.1LEDs on the device
The status indicators of the device can alert you to possible errors or faults, see "Opti‐
cal status indicators on the display panel", page 71. Further information on this can be
found in the “System Information” section.
10.2.2System information
The device reports any errors that occur in a number of ways. Fault output is staggered,
allowing for an increasingly detailed level of analysis:
Communication errors can occur when transmitting telegrams (e.g. commands) to
•
the data interface of the device. The device then returns a fault code on the same
data interface.
For faults that occur during reading, the device writes fault codes in the status log
•
(see "Status log", page 78).

10.7Replacing the device
10.7.1Reusing the current configuration data
The configuration data of the device is combined as a parameter set. The replacement
device saves the parameter set to the permanent parameter memory.
The current configuration data of the device to be replaced can be transferred to a
replacement device in four ways.
Prerequisites:
The replacement device is a device of the same type
•
The current configuration data for the device to be replaced is accessible in a stor‐
•
age medium outside the device memory
The available options depend on the backup plan chosen by the user back at the time
of installation, and the configuration of the device now needing to be replaced.
The first three methods are performed semi-automatically by the device depending on
the setup. The fourth method is performed manually by the user.
1Transfer of the current configuration data using the optional memory card
removed from the device to be replaced.
It is not necessary to connect a PC or laptop with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
Prerequisite:
If there is sufficient memory capacity on the memory card, the configuration data
from the last permanent save operation in the device using the “Permanent”
option was automatically saved on the card.
2Transfer of the current configuration data using the optional CMC600 parameter
cloning module in the optional CDB or CDM connection module.
It is not necessary to connect a PC or laptop with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
Prerequisite:
The device to be replaced was continuously operated in conjunction with a
CMC600 parameter cloning module in the connection module. If both a memory
card and a CM600 parameter cloning module are present, the configuration data
in the CMC600 parameter cloning module have higher priority.
TROUBLESHOOTING 10
NOTE
Function not supported for RFU62x-105xx (PoE variant).
3Transfer of the current configuration data using the parameter memory in the
optional CDF600 bus connection module.
It is not necessary to connect a PC or laptop with the SOPAS ET configuration soft‐
ware for transfer to the replacement device.
Prerequisite:
The device to be replaced was continuously operated in proxy mode on the CDF
bus connection module. If a memory card and a bus connection module are
present, the configuration data in the CDF bus connection module has higher pri‐
ority.
NOTE
Function not supported for RFU62x-105xx (PoE variant).
4Transfer of the current configuration data by means of a download from the PC or
laptop.
Prerequisite:
The configuration data of the device was stored on the PC or laptop. This took
place on completion of configuration of the device that is now to be replaced with
the SOPAS ET configuration software after confirmation by the user.

10.7.2Removing the device to be replaced
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the memory card
To avoid damaging an optional memory card that may be present in the device, make
sure there is no power to the device when you remove or insert it.
1.Switch off the supply voltage to the device that is to be replaced.
2.Mark the position and alignment of the device on the bracket or surroundings.
3.Disconnect and remove all connecting cables from the device.
4.Detach the device and remove from the bracket.
5.Backed-up configuration data: if an optional memory card was installed in the
device, remove the memory card with the backed-up parameter set. The memory
card is located behind the side cover, see "Device view", page 18
10.7.3Putting the replacement device into operation
1.Backed-up configuration data: take the optional memory card from the device
being replaced and install it in the replacement device of the same type.
2.Mount and align the replacement device (see "Mounting", page 27). When doing
so, note the previously applied markings on the bracket or surroundings.
3.Reconnect the connecting cables to the replacement device (see "Electrical instal‐
lation", page 34).
4.Switch on the supply voltage for the replacement device.
The device starts with the default setting and searches for external memory media
with a valid parameter set. If the device detects storage media with a valid para‐
meter set, it does the following:
Memory card in the device only:
°
the replacement device loads the parameter set on the memory card
Memory card in the device and CM600 parameter cloning module in the
°
CDB/CDM connection module: the replacement device loads the parameter
set from the CM600 parameter cloning module
Memory card in the device and CDF bus connection module: the replacement
°
device loads the parameter set from the CDF bus connection module
The replacement device loads the parameter set into its permanent memory and
operates according to the configuration data in the parameter set.
5.If the replacement device does not detect any external storage media, it will start
with its last permanently stored parameter set. In the case of devices that have
not been used before, this corresponds to the factory default setting.
w
Establish a connection to the replacement device using the SOPAS ET config‐
uration software. Transfer the configuration data of the device to be replaced,
which was previously saved to the PC, by downloading it to the replacement
device and permanently storing it there.

The relevant interface drivers for the device comply with the standard in accor‐
•
dance with RS-422 and RS-485.
The connection shown above is configured for operation of the host with perma‐
•
nently activated drivers (often described as “RS-422 operation”), i.e. not RS-485
operation.
Activate the RS-422 data interface (“Point-to-Point” option) in the device with a
•
configuration tool, e.g. the configuration software SOPAS ET.
