CP 343-1 Advancedfor Industrial Ethernet / Manual Part B
Release 06/2008
C79000-G8976-C202-04
Principle
The power is supplied by the basic device. When powered down, the C−PLUG
retains all data permanently.
Flash components are used in the C−PLUG in which the number of write
operations is limited.
This must be taken into account when using blocks in the user program that write
data to the C−PLUG (for example FB55 with changing IP parameters). Refer to the
information in Section 5.9.
Inserting in the C-PLUG slot
The slot for the C-PLUG is on the rear panel of the device.
The C-PLUG is inserted in the receptacle.
Notice
The C−PLUG must be inserted or removed only when the power is off!

Function
If the C-PLUG has not yet been written to (as shipped), when the device starts up,
all the configuration data of the CP is saved automatically on it. Modifications to
the configuration during operation are also saved on the C−PLUG without any
action by the user being necessary.
If the C-PLUG is inserted, the basic device automatically uses the configuration
data of the C-PLUG. This assumes that the data was written by a compatible
device type.
If a fault occurs, the basic device can then be replaced much faster and more
simply. If a device needs to be replaced, the C-PLUG is simply taken from the
failed component and inserted in the replacement. As soon as it starts up, the
replacement automatically has the same device configuration as the failed device.
