10.1 Overview of replacing Inverter components
Component replacement, general
Replacing the Power Module with external backup of the
settings, e.g. on a memory card
Replacement:
Same type
•
Same power rating
•
Device replacement without removable storage medium - only for communication via PROFINET
If you have created a topology in your control, using the environment detection, you can
replace a defective Inverter by a new device of the same type and with the identical software
release without having to recommission the system.
You can either load the Inverter settings into the converter using the memory card, or – if you
are using a SIMATIC S7 control with DriveES – using DriveES.
Details of the device replacement without removable storage medium can be found in the
Profinet system description (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/19292127).

The Inverter automatically loads the settings on the memory
card into the new CU.
If you have saved the settings of your inverter on another
medium, e.g. on an operator panel or on a PC, then after
the replacement, the settings must be loaded into the In-
verter.
