Siemens SCALANCE X-200 Operating Instructions Manual page 31

Note
Combinations other than those shown in the table are not compatible with each other.
Note
If you insert a C-PLUG in a compatible device, the system name of the original device is
entered both in the system name as well as in the PROFINET IO device name of the
compatible device.
Using a previously written C-PLUG
If you want to insert a C-PLUG that has already been used and written to into a new
differently configured X-200 IE switch, you will first need to delete the existing data on the C-
PLUG. You will find information about this in the configuration manual of the SCALANCE X-
200 in the section on the WBM menu items.
Note
The X-200 IE switches normally start up with the configuration of the C-PLUG, assuming this
was written to by a compatible device type. If the C-PLUG was written to by an incompatible
device type, the basic device will not start up fully and signals an error. The WBM menu
"System C-PLUG" is displayed automatically. Here, use the "Modify C-PLUG" function to
specify whether or not the device operates with a C-PLUG.
If you operate a device with a C-PLUG, the C-PLUG can either be initialized with the factory
settings or with the settings stored internally on the device.
Diagnostics
The following events are signaled by the diagnostics mechanisms of the X-200, such as
LEDs, WBM etc.:
● Inserting a C-PLUG that contains the configuration of an incompatible device type.
● The accidental removal of a C-PLUG
● General malfunctions of the C-PLUG.
The C-PLUG does not ship with the product
The C-PLUG is not supplied with the IE switches X-200, see section "Accessories
(Page 20)".
