General information

Term
"Plug & Measure" is the ability to recognize any analyzer modules and/or option modules added
at a later time and to integrate them. This ability makes it easier to replace modules for
maintenance purposes as well as installing devices at a later time, for example, option modules.
When you replace or retrofit a module, the processing module recognizes the change in the
device configuration during a restart. The type of module as well as its parameter assignment are
recognized. You can either apply the parameter assignments of the replacement/retrofit module
or use those of the previous module.
Requirement
For successful module retrofitting or module replacement, the firmware of the module to be
replaced must be compatible with the firmware of the processing module.
Prior to the installation of the module you have to update the firmware of the processing module:
• When installing a new module into an existing device.
• When replacing a module: When the error message 'Download firmware/configuration'
appears in the display.
If an analyzer module is already present, you must update its firmware. To this purpose, please
contact our Service department.
