5.1
Entering Maintenance Mode and Performing
Maintenance
1.
In Normal mode, press and hold the MAINT pushbutton for at least 3 seconds.
2.
When the MAINT LED begins to blink, indicating the PNS has transitioned to
Maintenance mode, release the pushbutton.
3.
If modules or carriers to the right of a Booster Power Supply need to be changed,
remove power from the Booster Power Supply.
4.
Add, remove or replace carriers and modules as needed. If necessary, the PNS can
be disconnected from the rest of the VersaMax stick.
When the PNS is in Maintenance Mode:
•
The MAINT LED blinks amber.
•
Power to all backplane modules to the left of any Booster Power Supply is disabled.
•
All backplane interface signals are tri-stated.
•
All established PROFINET ARs are terminated.
•
All requests to establish an AR are rejected.
•
All modules are sent to their module default state. This is different from their configured
defaults. For example, if a discrete output module is configured for non-zero defaults,
entering Maintenance mode sets the outputs to zero, not their non-zero configured
defaults. This is true for modules to the right of booster supplies as well as modules
powered from the PNS power supplies.
•
The PNS keeps its Ethernet switch functional, and (if so configured) continues to
support the Media Redundancy protocol.
5.2
Exiting Maintenance Mode and Restoring
Operation
1.
With the PNS still in Maintenance mode, if the PNS was disconnected from the
VersaMax stick, reconnect it.
2.
Apply power to any Power Supply Boosters that were powered down.
3.
Press the MAINT pushbutton for at least 3 seconds.
4.
When the MAINT LED stops blinking, indicating the PNS has transitioned to Normal
mode, release the pushbutton.
5.
Download a configuration to the PNS device.
When the PNS returns to Normal Mode:
•
The MAINT LED stops blinking.
•
The PNS applies power to the rest of the modules in the VersaMax stick (those that are
not powered by a Power Supply Booster).
