Check the items in the following table and correct any condition that is below
standard.

7-4-3 Replacing the DST1
The network consists of the DeviceNet Unit (master) and DST1 Terminals.
The entire network is affected when a DST1 is faulty, so a faulty DST1 must
be repaired or replaced quickly. We recommend having spare DST1 Termi-
nals available to restore network operation as quickly as possible.
Precautions for Replacing the DST1
Observe the following precautions when replacing a faulty DST1.
After replacement, make sure that there are no errors in the new DST1.
When a DST1 is being returned for repair, attach a detailed description of the
problem and return the DST1 to your OMRON representative.
If there is a faulty contact, try wiping the contact with a clean, lint-free cloth
dampened with alcohol.
Settings after Replacing a DST1
After replacing a DST1, set the new DST1’s switches and configuration data
to the same settings that were used on the old DST1.
