Replacing a Defective Device without Chip Card (EtherNet/IP + Modbus TCP)

In case of damage to the ASi Slave Bihl+Wiedemann recommends the use of a replacement unit with the same article number to avoid any difficulties and downtimes in the production process when setting up a new unit.

 

By using an identical item as a replacement for a defective device, the configuration data can be transferred by simply exchanging the chip card. The replacement device is then immediately ready for use.
