Device Replacement Function

This function enables device replacement while the power of the IO-Link module is on.
With this function, IO-Link devices can be replaced without disconnections being detected.
For the IO-Link device replacement procedure, refer to the following.
Page 188 IO-Link Device Replacement Procedure

Device replacement

When the connected device is an IO-Link device
Provided below is the explanation of the following two cases.
• When replacing a connected IO-Link device with another IO-Link device
• When replacing a connected IO-Link device with an SIO device
■Before replacement
Specify the target channel using "Start Device Changeout" of "Command Execution of Slave Station" of the engineering tool.
The following occurs when the target channel is specified.
• CH Input data invalid flag (RX8 to RXF) for the target channel turns on.
• CH LED of the target channel flashes in green.
• CH Output process data of the target channel becomes invalid.
Input/output from/to the IO-Link device will be disabled.
■After replacing with another IO-Link device
After replacing with another IO-Link device, specify the target channel using "Device Changeout Complete" of "Command
Execution of Slave Station" of the engineering tool.
The following occurs after the target channel is specified and the IO-Link device is replaced with another IO-Link device
properly.
• CH Input data invalid flag (RX8 to RXF) for the target channel turns off.
• CH LED of the target channel turns on in green.
Even after replacing with another IO-Link device, input/output from/to the IO-Link device remains disabled
until the target channel is specified.
■After replacing with an SIO device
After replacing with an SIO device, specify the target channel using "Device Changeout Complete" of "Command Execution of
Slave Station" of the engineering tool.
The following occurs after the target channel is specified and the IO-Link device is replaced with an SIO device properly.
• CH Input data invalid flag (RX8 to RXF) for the target channel turns off.
• After replacing an IO-Link device with an SIO device, review the program and the parameter settings of the
IO-Link module as necessary before specifying the target channel.
• Even after replacing with an SIO device, input/output from/to the SIO device remains off until the target
channel is specified.
