Issue
What is the proper procedure to use when swapping two previously installed Infinet controllers on the same Continuum network.
Environment
- ACCID
- Infinet Controllers
Cause
Must prove determine whether an Infinet Controllers flow sensor is damaged.
Resolution
- It is important to recommission Infinet controllers before relocating them in the same system.
- Recommissioning the Infinet controller purges all object handles and ensures that the controller will be brought on line virtually as a new "out of the box" controller.
- Infinet controllers are recommissioned by setting the InfinetID to 0 using a RoamIO.
- Using a RoamIO, set the InfinetID of both Infinet controllers to zero.
- Verify that the controllers InfinetID has been set to 0.
- With the workstation in OffLine mode, change the serial number of each controllers to a fictional serial number that does not exist in Continuum.
- Remove both controllers and install them in place of each other with out powering the controller.
- Before the controllers are powered, connect them to the Infinet bus while the bus is connected to the infinet port.
- Switch the workstation to Online Mode.
- Power up the controllers.
- Enter the correct serial number for each controller in the controller editor. Both controllers should come online.
- Reload both controllers.
