Chapter 3 Configure a ControlNet Module
With Compatible Keying, you can replace a module of a certain Major Revision
with one of the same catalog number and the same or later, that is higher, Major
Revision. In some cases, the selection makes it possible to use a replacement that is
a different catalog number than the original. For example, you can replace a 1756-
CNBR module with a 1756-CN2R module. Release notes for individual
modules indicate the specific compatibility details.
When a module is created, the module developers consider the module’s
development history to implement capabilities that emulate those of the previous
module. However, the developers cannot know future developments. Because of
this, when a system is configured, we recommend that you configure your module
by using the earliest, that is, lowest, revision of the physical module that you
believe will be used in the system. By doing this, you can avoid the case of a
physical module rejecting the keying request because it is an earlier revision than
the one configured in the software.
EXAMPLE
In the following scenario, Compatible Keying prevents I/O
communication :
The module configuration is for a 1756-IB16D module with module
revision 3.3. The physical module is a 1756-IB16D module with
module revision 3.2. In this case, communication is prevented
because the minor revision of the module is lower than expected and
may not be compatible with 3.3.
