Bus Coupler Replacement

DANGER
Hazard of Electric Shock, Explosion, or Arc Flash Turn off all power before working on or inside the equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

You can only replace the bus coupler with another bus coupler having the same reference number (TPRBCEIP). You must configure the replacement bus coupler on the Ethernet network with the same settings as the original.

Three options exist to configure the new bus coupler's settings:

Micro SD card

If the island’s configuration has been saved to a removable micro SD card, insert the card into the new bus coupler.
FDR server

If a micro SD card is not available or cannot be read or written, load the island configuration into the replacement bus coupler using FDR and a Schneider Electric™ PLC.
SoMove project file

If the prerequisites are not met for the previous options, save the bus coupler’s configured settings to a SoMove project file. Then, use SoMove software with the TeSys island DTM to transfer the configuration to the replacement bus coupler.

Consider the following before replacing the bus coupler:

Is the replacement device the same model as the original?
Is a micro SD card available?
If the PLC is Schneider Electric brand, has the FDR server functionality been enabled and setup?
Is a SoMove project available for configuration?
