Replace an Integrated Safety Drive in a GuardLogix System
When you replace an integrated safety drive, the replacement device must be
configured properly and the replacement drives operation be user-verified.
Two options for safety drive replacement are available on the Safety category of
the Controller Properties dialog box in the Logix Designer application:
• Configure Only When No Safety Signature Exists
• Configure Always
Figure 117 - Safety Drive Replacement Options
Configure Only When No Safety Signature Exists
This setting instructs the GuardLogix controller to automatically configure a
safety drive only when the safety task does not have a safety task signature, and
the replacement drive is in an out-of-box condition, meaning that a safety
network number does not exist in the safety drive.
If the safety task has a safety task signature, the GuardLogix controller
automatically configures the replacement CIP Safety I/O device only if the
following is true:
• The device already has the correct safety network number.
• The device electronic keying is correct.
• The node or IP address is correct.
For detailed information, refer to
for the
appropriate user manual for your GuardLogix or Compact GuardLogix
controller.
ATTENTION:
During drive replacement or functional test, the safety of the
system must not rely on any portion of the affected drive.
