PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This section includes descriptions and explanations of the functionality of
the configuration management of Bürkert devices.
3.1 Definition of the central configuration management
The functionality of the central configuration management enables the Bürkert
devices to be replaced quickly without additional configuration.
Purpose of the configuration:
- Uncomplicated replacement of defective devices.
3.2 Components of the configuration management
- Configuration provider
- Configuration client
The central configuration management features a configuration provider which
reads out the configurations of the configuration clients and saves them
centrally.
A replacement of the managed device is detected by the configuration provider
in the network. The configuration provider automatically parameterizes the new
device with the saved configuration of the predecessor device.
