6.6 REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
6.6.1 Impact on I/O Point Configuration
When an I/O Card is replaced with another I/O Card, it is not necessary to reconfigure the ROC.
If any points or their parameters need to be changed, you can use the ROCLINK configuration software
to make the changes off-line or on-line. If you want to minimize “down time,” before you replace the
card, you can make the needed changes (except for ROC display and FST changes) off-line by first
saving the ROC configuration to disk. Modify the disk configuration, replace the card, and then load
the configuration file into the ROC.
To make changes on-line, replace the card, proceed directly to the configuration display for the affected
points, and modify parameters as needed.
CAUTION
If one or more FSTs, or higher-level points such as a PID loop or AGA Flow, are
configured in the ROC, be sure to reconfigure them according to the changes in I/O
points. Operational problems will occur if you do not reconfigure the ROC.
6.6.2 Replacing the I/O Card
Use the following procedure to replace the I/O Card. The procedure requires using the ROCLINK
Configuration Software.
CAUTION
There is a possibility of losing the configuration and historical data held in RAM
while performing the following procedure. As a precaution, save the current
configuration and historical data to permanent memory as instructed in Section
2.5.2.
CAUTION
When working on units labeled for service in hazardous areas, ensure that the
working environment is currently non-hazardous.
