8.3.4 I/O Module Replacement Procedure
(1) Module Replacement during Power OFF
When replacing the control system I/O module, switch its system to standby system,
power off the standby system, and then start the replacement operation.
System switching is not necessary when replacing the standby system I/O module.
Make sure to power off the standby system before replacing the I/O module.
The standby system can be powered off while the redundant system is running.
(2) Module Replacement during Power ON
By using the online module change of GX Developer, the I/O module can be replaced
while the redundant system is running, regardless of its system, i.e., control system or
standby system.
POINT
The I/O modules of control system and standby system cannot perform online
module change (hot swapping) using GX Developer when connecting the
extension base unit to the CPU module whose first 5 digits of serial No. is 09012
or later.
When replacing modules online using GX Developer in other than above cases,
refer to the following manual.
