Change Controller Project Type

Because safety projects have special requirements and do not support certain standard features, you must understand the behavior of the system when changing the project from standard to safety or from safety to standard.

Changing the project affects the following:

Supported features
Physical configuration of the project (
safety partner and
safety I/O)
Controller properties
Project components such as tasks, programs, routines, and tags
Safety Add-On Instructions

When you change one controller type to another, the class of tags, routines, and programs remain unaltered. Any I/O devices that are no longer compatible with the target controller are deleted.

If needed, the representation of the safety partner is updated to appear appropriately for the target controller.
