AUTOMATIC MODULE REPLACEMENT
Once a ConveyLinx-IO module has been configured with its connections and settings (including transparency
options and optional ConveyLogix program); this data is automatically stored in its upstream and downstream
neighboring modules. This configuration data is automatically updated even if settings and options have been
modified since the initial Auto-Configuration by the EasyRoll software for example. The ConveyLinx-IO firmware
uses this feature to allow for easy module replacement so that the entire linear conveyor does not have to be re-
configured in order to replace a single module.
Automatic Module Replacement procedure will work to replace a ConveyLinx module on
properly configured systems with multiple subnets. You do not have to temporarily disconnect
any network connections or otherwise isolate the particular subnet where the replacement
procedure needs to occur.
