Appendix C

Upgrade from a Standard Redundancy System or to Another Enhanced Redundancy System

Replace Communication Modules

You must replace all communication modules when upgrading to any enhanced

redundancy system revision. You must use enhanced communication modules in

an enhanced redundancy system.

This table describes which controllers are available for system upgrades.

Replacing a 1756-EWEB Module

The 1756-EWEB communication module offers functionality that is not

available on other EtherNet/IP communication modules. When you upgrade

from a nonredundant system to an enhanced redundant system, your application

loses functionality that is available only on the 1756-EWEB communication

module.

These are examples of functionality no longer available after the conversion from

a standard redundancy system to an enhanced redundancy system:

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client

Web pages

You must account for this lost functionality in your RSLogix 5000 software

project.

Updating Communication Settings

Make sure you set all network settings, for example, node addresses or IP

addresses, required to your application in the new communication modules.
