Restrictions
Only when this operation is performed on the remote head module of the control system, the entire system is
reset. However, depending on the status of the remote head module, remote RESET may not be performed.
■When there is an error in remote head No.1 or remote head No.2
• When only remote head No.2 is mounted: The system is not reset.
• When a major error occurs in remote head No.1 or remote head No.2, the system on both of remote head No.1
and remote head No.2 is not reset.
(When only remote head No.1 is mounted, the system is reset.)
■When the remote head modules of both systems are not in the STOP state
When the remote head module of the control system is in the STOP state and the remote head module of the
standby system is in the RUN state, the remote head module of the control system and the standby system cannot
be reset by performing the remote RESET operation on the remote head module of the control system. Perform
the remote RESET operation after setting the remote head modules of both systems to the STOP state.
■When a remote operation is performed on the remote head modules of both systems via different routes
When a remote operation is performed on the remote head module of the control system and the standby system
via different routes, the remote head module of the control system and the standby system cannot be reset by
performing the remote RESET operation on the remote head module of the control system. To perform a remote
RESET operation on the remote head module of the control system, cancel the remote operation on the remote
head module of the standby system before performing the remote RESET operation.
Events related to system switching are stored in the remote head modules of both systems, but events that have
occurred in one of the remote head modules are stored only in that remote head module. Also, events that have
occurred in a module on the base unit are stored only in the remote head module of the control system.
Only the events stored in individual remote head modules can be cleared/displayed.
The execution result of the current value change executed in the control system for the devices of remote head
module is not reflected in the new control system even if systems are switched.
Connect the engineering tool to the new control system and re-execute the current value change.
Cannot be used.
• When systems are switched during communication, since neither the remote head module of the control system
prior to system switching nor that of the new control system can send a response and a response wait timeout
occurs, a retry from the communication equipment is required.
• In SLMP (MC protocol) communications using the remote head module, when communication is made to the
other system while the other system cannot respond (because of being reset, disconnection of Ethernet cables,
or other causes), a timeout error may occur.
