Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens’
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly
that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should
also be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit
http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
To stay informed about product updates as they occur, sign up for a product-specific
newsletter. For more information, visit http://support.automation.siemens.com.

With a SCALANCE M.800, the SET button is on the front of the housing beside the LED
display.
The SET button has the following functions:
● Restart
Hold down the button for longer than 3 seconds to run a restart.
● Loading new firmware
If the normal procedure with the "Load & Save" menu of Web Based Management does
not work, the reset button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can occur if
there is a power outage during the normal firmware update.
– Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) starts to flash after approximately 3
seconds.
– Now release the button. The bootloader waits in this state for a new firmware file that
you can download using TFTP.
You will find more information in the section "Service and Maintenance" in the
SCALANCE M-800 Web Based Management configuration manual.
Do not remove or insert a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG during operation!
License information on the KEY-PLUG
1.5 C-PLUG and KEY-PLUG
The C-PLUG or KEY-PLUG is used to transfer the configuration of the old device to the new
device when a device is replaced.
A PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off.
The device checks whether or not a PLUG is present at one second intervals. If it is
detected that the PLUG was removed, there is a restart.
If a valid KEY-PLUG was inserted in the device, the device changes to a defined error state
following the restart.
When the new device starts up with the PLUG, it then continues automatically with exactly
the same configuration as the old device. One exception to this can be the IP configuration if
it is set over DHCP and the DHCP server has not been reconfigured accordingly.
A reconfiguration is necessary if you use functions based on MAC addresses.
If an incorrect PLUG, for example from another product or a damaged PLUG is inserted, the
device signals an error with the "F" LED.
You can either remove the PLUG again or select the option to reformat the PLUG.
In terms of the PLUG, devices work in two modes:
● Without PLUG
The device stores the configuration in internal memory. This mode is active when no
PLUG is inserted.
● With PLUG
The configuration stored on the PLUG is displayed in WBM in "Information > PLUG". If
changes are made to the configuration, the device stores the configuration directly on the
PLUG and in the internal memory. This mode is active as soon as a PLUG is inserted. As
soon as the device is started with a PLUG inserted, the device starts up with the
configuration data on the PLUG.
In addition to the configuration, the KEY-PLUG also contains a license that allows the use of
Siemens Remote Services.
General safety notices relating to protection against explosion
WARNING
WARNING
General notes on use according to ATEX and IECEx
WARNING
When installing the device, keep to the safety notices listed below.
If a device is operated in an ambient temperature of more than 50 °C, the temperature of
the device housing may be higher than 70 °C. The device must therefore be installed so
that it is only accessible to service personnel or users that are aware of the reason for
restricted access and the required safety measures at an ambient temperature higher than
50 °C.
The device may only be operated in an environment with pollution degree 1 or 2 (see IEC
60664-1).
When used in hazardous environments corresponding to Class I, Division 2 or Class I,
Zone 2, the device must be installed in a cabinet or a suitable enclosure.
To comply with EC Directive 94/9 (ATEX95) or the conditions of IECEx, this enclosure or
cabinet must meet the requirements of at least IP54 in compliance with EN 60529.
Regardless of the type of installation, make sure that there is suitable strain relief for the
connecting cable.
If cables are installed permanently, it is advisable to remove the insulation of the shielded
cable and to establish contact on the shield/PE conductor bar.
● Vertical installation (ventilation openings at the top and bottom)
Keep to the minimum clearances to other components or to walls of a housing so that the
convection ventilation of the device is not blocked.
● Below at least 10 cm
● Above at least 10 cm
● With an M876, a clearance of 5 cm must be maintained between the sides and adjacent
