Replacing POINT Guard I/O Modules Chapter 8
If the project is configured as ‘Configure Only When No Safety Signature Exists’,
follow the appropriate instructions in Table 1 3
to replace a POINT Guard I/O
module that is based on your scenario. Once you have completed the steps in the
scenario correctly, the DeviceID matches the original. This match enables the
safety controller to download the proper module configuration, and re-establish
the safety connection.
Scenario 1 - Replacement Module Is Out-of-box and Safety Signature Exists
1. Remove the old I/O module and install the new module.
2. Right-click the replacement POINT Guard I/O module and choose
Properties.
3. To open the Safety Network Number dialog box, click to the right of
the safety network number.
