■
Overview
•
Swap medium with which Layer 3 Routing functions can be
enabled
•
For the automatic backup of configuration data. If a fault
occurs, it allows fast and simple device replacement without a
Field PG (contains the function of the C-PLUG)
•
Can be used in all Layer 2 variants of the SCALANCE XR500
and in all variants of the SCALANCE XM-400 basic devices
■
Benefits
•
Fast and simple replacement of SCALANCE X-500 or
SCALANCE XM-400 components without reconfiguration of
the spare part
•
The device can be replaced without the need for specially
trained personnel or a programming device or PC
•
The downtimes of network segments and connected Industrial
Ethernet nodes can therefore be minimized if a fault occurs
■
Application
The KEY-PLUG stores the configuration data of a
SCALANCE X-500 or SCALANCE XM-400 component.
Additional Layer 3 Routing functions can be enabled by insert-
ing a KEY-PLUG.
In addition to this, if there is a fault on a module, the module can
be replaced simply and quickly without needing to reconfigure
the replacement device and without specially trained personnel.
If a device needs to be replaced, the KEY-PLUG is simply
removed from the failed component and plugged into the re-
placement device. The replacement device now starts up auto-
matically with the device configuration of the failed device.
■
Design
The KEY-PLUG has degree of protection IP20. Power is supplied
by the terminal device.
The KEY-PLUG is plugged into the slot of the SCALANCE X-500
or SCALANCE XM-400 basic device provided for this purpose.
■
Mode of operation
The device automatically backs up the configuration data on a
KEY-PLUG (as delivered) upon start-up. Changes to the config-
uration during operation are also saved on the KEY-PLUG
without any additional operator intervention being necessary.
During start-up, an unconfigured device automatically loads the
configuration data from an inserted KEY-PLUG that has been
written to provided the data was written by a compatible device
type.
Diagnostics
Incorrect use of the KEY-PLUG such as inserting a KEY-PLUG
containing the configuration of a non-compatible device or gen-
eral malfunctions of the KEY-PLUG are indicated by diagnostics
mechanisms of the terminal device (LEDs, SNMP, Web based
Management, etc.).
