Replacing XC20 CP 1583

,

Hello,
We have XC20 CP 1583 PLC in our machine which got failed recently. We have spare PLC CPU of the same model, but we don’t have program backup.
By replacing the Compact Flash Card from failed PLC to New PLC shall restore the Program in New PLC ?
If yes, should we take any additional care.

Thx

Yes the program is stored on the Compact Flash Card, so moving it to the spare PLC will also move the program there.

You should be mindful that you may have to re home axes or reapply parameters, depending on the application.

If yes, should we take any additional care.

Just a hint: Prepare a Backup for next time. A image from the CF-Card can help if the Card gets damaged.

Greetings
Michael

Thanks for your time
