Installation/removal with the power off
Wire up the SIMATIC controller and the modules and readers to be connected only when
the power is off. Make sure that the power supply is switched off when installing/uninstalling
the devices as well as the built-in ring light, EF lens and micro SD adapter.
NOTICE
Backing up the configuration
Prior to replacing the module, make sure that you back up the configuration stored on the
optical reader so that you can transfer this to the newly connected reader following module
replacement. The backup (* .xml) is made using the WBM via the "Device > System >
Device configuration" menu.
You can save the configuration on the PC or on an SD card.
Note
Compatibility and device replacement of SIMATIC MV440 and SIMATIC MV540

Backing up configuration
In the WBM, you can use the "Device > System > Full device configuration" menu to backup,
