Add, Configure, Monitor, and Replace CIP Safety I/O Devices Chapter 5
Replacement with ‘Configure Only When No Safety Signature
Exists’ Enabled
When a safety I/O device is replaced, the configuration is downloaded from
the safety controller if the DeviceID of the new device matches the original.
The DeviceID is a combination of the node/IP address and the Safety
Network Number (SNN) and is updated whenever the SNN is set.
If the project is configured as ‘Configure Only When No Safety Signature
Exists’, follow the appropriate steps in
Table 29 to replace a safety I/O device
based on your scenario. Once you have completed the steps correctly, the
DeviceID matches the original, enabling the safety controller to download the
proper device configuration, and re-establish the safety connection.
