11.1 Device replacement
The controller can be replaced, if necessary.
If you want to replace a controller in an Axioline F station, follow the steps described in
Section 10, “Removing hardware” and Section 4, “Mounting hardware”.
• Disconnect the Axioline F station from the power supply.
• Remove the SD card of the controller to be replaced.
• Replace the controller in your application with an identical controller (same order
number).
• To adopt the settings stored on the SD card, insert the SD card into the new controller.
• Once the controller is replaced, restore all the necessary connections.
In case you operate the controller with PROFICLOUD connection:
• Delete the controller from PROFICLOUD.
• Then reregister the controller in PROFICLOUD and add it as a PROFICLOUD device,
as described in Section “PROFICLOUD.IO” on page 66.
Please note:
If the new controller firmware is of a later version than the firmware of the controller to be
replaced, you may have to recompile the project in the PLCnext Engineer software and/or
in the integrated development environment. This procedure is only necessary for certain
firmware versions. For additional information, please refer to the “Change notes for the
controller” application note.
