WARNING
Downloading
a configuration to an FMS CP module on line in a network will
cause interruption of network communications with that module only
. If the
download is successful, network communications will resume after the module
returns to RUN mode.
Any interruption to network communications could cause unpredictable
machine or process operation, possibly resulting in death or serious injury to
personnel, and/or damage to equipment.
T
o avoid problems resulting from interruption of network communications,
design your installation to tolerate interruptions in network communications,
and/or stop your process in a safe state before you download configurations to
any network FMS CP module.
!
WARNING
If you download new Module Local Configuration parameters (such as station
address and network baud rate) to a module in an active network, and the new
parameters are not compatible with the network configuration already in use,
the download operation may be unsuccessful and could cause a disruption in
the network communications.
Disrupting network communications could cause unpredictable machine or
process operation, possibly resulting in death or serious injury to personnel,
and/or damage to equipment.
T
o avoid a download failure and a disruption in network communications, stop
your process in a safe state and disconnect the PROFIBUS cable from the
FMS CP module before downloading new module configuration parameters.
Reconnect the module to the network and ensure proper network operation
before reactivating your process.
