Replace with a Used Device when ADC Disabled and DS Backup/Restore Enabled

  1. Verify that you have completed the procedure as described in Prerequisite Steps. To replace a device in this scenario, complete these steps.
    1. Replace the physical device.
    2. Go online with your project.
    3. In the IO-Link device Module Properties → Configuration view, perform Device Correlation Check and select “Use Project Values” to download the configuration to the replacement device.
  2. If the device configuration that is saved in the project is outdated, but the device Data Storage copy in the IO-Link master module is up to date, complete these steps to replace the device.
    1. Go online with your project.
    2. While the IO-Link master module is uninhibited, in the IO-Link master Module Properties → Chxx - IO-Link view, select the Disable Channel checkbox and select Apply.
      IMPORTANT: You must perform this step to disable the Data Storage Backup/ Restore feature on the port temporarily while you replace with a used device.
      This step is to help prevent the configuration of the used device from overwriting the device configuration that is saved in the IO-Link master module.
    3. While the IO-Link master module is uninhibited, in the IO-Link master Module Properties → Chxx - IO-Link view, clear the Disable Channel checkbox and select Apply.
    4. In the IO-Link device Module Properties → Connection view, select the Inhibit Module checkbox and select Apply.
    5. Replace the physical device.
    6. In the IO-Link device Module Properties → Device Info view, select Reset Module to Factory Default.
    7. In the IO-Link device Module Properties → Connection view, clear the Inhibit Module checkbox and select Apply.
      Data Storage Backup/Restore is enabled on the port when connection is established and the device configuration that is stored in the IO-Link master module is downloaded to the replacement device.
