GuardLogix Controllers versus SmartGuard Controllers

There is one major difference in functionality between the GuardLogix and
SmartGuard safety controllers that affects the replacement of safety I/O
modules. GuardLogix controllers retain I/O module configuration on-board and
are able to download the configuration to the replacement module. SmartGuard
controllers do not retain I/O module configuration so you need to use
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to download the configuration to the
replacement module.

Replacing an I/O Module
When Using a SmartGuard
Controller

Follow these steps to replace an I/O module when using a SmartGuard controller.

1. Set the rotary switches of the replacement module to match the node

number of the original module.

2. In RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, open your project.
