system fully operational, the hardware configuration in the AADvance
Workbench software must be updated by an on-line update.
When there is not sufficient space for extra I/O base units on a row you can use
the Expansion Cable to connect a new row of I/O base units and modules to
further expand the I/O system.
Hot Swap I/O for Business Critical Channels
You can add a "hot swap" capability for business critical data channels. By
installing a single I/O module into a dual TA. When a dual TA is configured
you are leaving an empty spare slot for a replacement I/O module when a fault
occurs. You can insert a new I/O module into the spare slot and restore a failed
channel without interrupting the operation of the other channels.
Processor Firmware Upgrades
The firmware on the 9110 processor module can be updated with the
following ControlFLASH files:
• 9110 ControlFLASH
• 9110 Recovery ControlFLASH
The files are available from the
Product Compatibility and Download Center
website
.
If the Recovery Mode firmware in the modules is not the latest version, it
should be updated first.
Before starting check that:
• RS Linx Gateway has been installed and configured
• ControlFLASH program has been installed – minimum version 14
• The ControlFLASH files have been downloaded from the Rockwell
Automation web site and installed in the ControlFLASH program
using the DMK Extraction Tool
IMPORTANT
For Release 1.3 you can change the I/O module configuration with an on-line
update. However, if you are using an earlier product release the I/O
configuration cannot be changed with an on-line update.
IMPORTANT
An on-line update could affect the operation of the controller such that the
application is stopped or the I/O data flow is interrupted. The AADvance
Safety Manual outlines the precautions you need to follow when doing on-
line updates on a Safety System.
TIP
Configure this "hot swap" arrangement when you configure your system at
installation and set up time.
