Reset Safety I/O Devices to the Out-of-box Condition

If a
Guard I/O™
 device was used previously, clear the existing configuration before installing it on a safety network by resetting the device to its out-of-box condition.
When the controller project is online, the Safety tab of the device properties displays the current configuration ownership. When the opened project owns the configuration, Local is displayed. When a second device owns the configuration, Remote is displayed, along with the SNN and node address or slot number of the configuration owner. A communication error appears if the device read fails.
If the connection is local, you must inhibit the device connection before resetting ownership.
Follow these steps to inhibit the device.
  1. Right-click the device and choose Properties.
  2. Click the Connection tab.
  3. Check Inhibit Connection.
  4. Click Apply and then OK.
Follow these steps to reset the device to its out-of-box configuration when online.
  1. Right-click the device and choose Properties.
  2. Click the Safety tab.
  3. Click Reset Ownership.
This image shows where to reset the configuration ownership in Logix Designer.
TIP:
You cannot reset ownership when there are pending edits to the device properties, when a safety signature exists, or when safety-locked.
