Which components can be modified?
The following modifications can be made to the hardware configuration during operation:
● Adding or removing modules in the central or expansion units (e.g. one-sided I/O
module).
NOTICE
Always switch off power before you add or remove IM460 and IM461 interface modules,
external CP443-5 Extended DP master interface modules, and their connecting cables.
● Adding or removing components of the distributed I/Os such as
– DP slaves with a redundant interface module (e.g. ET 200M, DP/PA link, or Y link)
– One-sided DP slaves (in any DP master system)
– Modules in modular DP slaves
– DP/PA links
– PA devices
● Changing specific CPU parameters
● Changing the CPU memory configuration
● Re-parameterization of a module
● Assigning a module to another process image partition
● Upgrading the CPU version
● Changing the master with only one available redundant link
Note
No changes to the PROFINET interface at runtime
I/O components that are connected to a PROFINET interface as well as parameters of
the PROFINET interface cannot be modified during operation.
When you make any modifications, keep to the rules for the configuration of a fault-tolerant
station (see section Rules for the assembly of fault-tolerant sta
tions (Page 33)).
