Notice
In principle, you can also replace predecessor modules with IT functionality with a
CP 443-1 EX20. The IT functions are, however, then no longer supported!
Notice
The CP 443-1 EX20 and CP 443-1 Advanced GX20 modules are not
interchangeable as replacement modules (see below). You can, however, upgrade
the EX20 with a GX20 if you change the configuration.
When using the CP with version V4.x CPUs, all functions are supported that were
available with the CP 443-1 EX11. Operation as a PROFINET IO controller and
SEND/RECV connections in SPEED SEND/RECV mode are not supported.
7.3
Replacing older modules: spares / upgrading
Distinction
When replacing existing modules with the module described here, the following
variants must be distinguished:
S
Use as a replacement:
The situation described here is when an existing module can be replaced by a
new module by removing and inserting it with no change to the configuration.
When removing and inserting the module, remember the instructions in Section
3.1, in particular, if you are using the CP as a PROFINET IO controller.
S
Upgrading
(functionally compatible module replacement)
The situation in this case is when the module described here can be used
instead of an older module as long as adaptations are made in the
configuration. The CP used previously is replaced by the new CP in the
configuration.
Unless stated otherwise, the range of functions of the older module continues to be
supported in both cases.
You can also upgrade modules listed under “use as a replacement”. This becomes
necessary when you want to use new features that were not available on the
previously used module.
