General information
This section deals with the replacement of modules at a scheduled maintenance interval or
during plant modernization work.
Note
If you have a defective module, please co
ntact your regional Siemens representative so that
the module can be replaced as soon as possible. You can find further information on support
with spare parts under (
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/sc/2110).
The replacement modules must be approved for use with the respective PCS 7 version. The
manual "SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 Released Modules"
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109748745) and the PCS 7 V9.0
Readme (Online) (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109744312) for each
PCS 7 version provides information about the release. Components must always be
replaced with identical models (identical MLFB).
If listed modules are no longer available, successor modules should be installed; these need
to be explicitly compatible as replacements. Information about whether or not a new module
is compatible as a replacement is available on the delivery release, as shown in the figure
below, which uses HART analog modules as an example.
