Replacing a L33ERMS with the L38ERMS to increase memory capacity. Will I need to reset safety settings or network numbers during the replacement, or can I simply plug and play with the existing program?
If you haven't received an answer yet, the information provided here may offer some assistance. It is highly likely that re-doing the safety signature of all networked safety devices is necessary. If the safety signature is locked on the PLC, unlocking it is essential to switch the controller type from L33ERMS to L38ERMS. This process may involve resetting the safety signatures, which has been successful in my experience. Although resetting all signatures can be tedious and may time out initially, it typically works once the devices reconnect. Referencing the manual, there is a possibility of manually entering the safety network number into a device as a workaround for resetting. However, I found it more efficient to simply reset the devices. In my experience, troubleshooting is often required as it's not always a seamless process. Despite these challenges, I have not encountered any issues with safety IDs. Good luck, and I hope this information proves helpful.
While the L38ERMS does indeed provide higher memory capacity, it's not entirely a plug-and-play situation. You won't need to reset safety settings as those are inherently embedded in your PLC, but you may have to reconfigure network information, depending on the complexity of your current setup. Always do a backup of your current configuration before starting the replacement process. Also, bear in mind that there may be some code modifications required due to differences in handling big data sets between L33ERMS and L38ERMS.
In my experience with upgrading from the L33ERMS to the L38ERMS, you'll have to review your safety settings and network numbers, but not necessarily 'reset' them per se. However, it’s not entirely a plug and play situation; thanks to the increase in memory, you might find your existing program will have more room to function optimally, therefore a bit of fine-tuning may be in order which could potentially involve adjusting those safety settings. Always, always back up your existing program before making any changes. Better safe than sorry!
When you swap out the L33ERMS for the L38ERMS, it's usually a good idea to double-check your safety settings and network configurations, even though the new model is designed to be compatible. While plug-and-play might sound convenient, ensuring that everything is set up correctly will help avoid any unforeseen issues later on. It wouldn’t hurt to save your current settings before making the switch, just in case you need to reference them after the upgrade!
When upgrading from the L33ERMS to the L38ERMS, it's best to double-check your safety settings and network configurations because while some programs might allow for a straightforward plug-and-play approach, there can be variations in how the new model handles certain parameters. It's a good idea to back everything up beforehand and consult the manual for specific instructions on migrating your settings to ensure a smooth transition.
