Failure and replacement of components of the distributed I/Os
Which components can be replaced?
The following components of the distributed I/Os can be replaced during operation:
● PROFIBUS-DP master
● PROFIBUS-DP interface module (IM 153-2 or IM 157)
● PROFIBUS-DP slave
● PROFIBUS-DP cable

Note
Replacing I/O and function modules located in a distributed station is described in
Section Failure and replacement of an input/output or function module (Page 189).
What has to be done?
Turn off the power supply of the
central rack.
Unplug the Profibus–DP cable of the
affected DP master module.
Replace the affected module.
Plug the Profibus–DP cable back in.
Turn on the power supply of the
central rack.
How does the system react?
With single-channel, one-sided I/O:
•
DP master can no longer process connected
DP slaves.
With switched I/O:
•
DP slaves are addressed via the DP master
of the partner.
How does the system react?
The fault-tolerant system switches to single
mode.
