9-7 Replacing a Device
Devices can be easily replaced using the Replace Device function.
Note (1) Use the Replace Device function with safety devices in the user system
with the configuration verified or locked. If the Device Replacement func-
tion is used for a device that does not have its configuration verified or
locked, the system may not operate correctly after replacement. For infor-
mation on verifying and locking configurations, referred to
9-9-1 Creating
Device Parameter Files .
(2) If a system error occurs because of a fatal hardware error in the device to
be replaced, it will not be possible to use the Device Replacement func-
tion (on an NE1A-series Controller, the left side of the seven-segment dis-
play will show “H”, and on an NE0A-SCPU01 or DST1-series Controllers,
the MS indicator will light red.) In these cases, use the download function
to download the device parameters to the new device. For information on
downloading device parameters, refer to
9-9 Downloading for Individual
Devices .
