Configuration Devices
The following shows the modules and engineering tool that support the online module change.
CPU module
The online module change can be performed when the system is configured using a Process CPU or SIL2 Process CPU.
Remote head module
The online module change can be performed when the system is configured using a remote head module.
Only direct change is available as a method of the online module change when a redundant system is configured using a
remote head module.
Engineering tool
Use an engineering tool of the version supported by the CPU module used, the remote head module used, and the module to
