Is anything required to be done here?...

I am sending a micro 1200 to a remote site but the problem is the existing unit has expansion cards on it, when I load the program it goes to fault. Is there a way of being able to send it and have it be able to boot up when connected?
cheers

Bernie,
I'm now wondering if anything needs to be done here?
Sautokill,
I've read this a few times now as it's a little confusing as to what exactly it is you are trying to achieve here...
Are you saying that you are sending a replacement MicroLogix 1200 controller
without expansion modules, to the site where there is an existing MicroLogix 1200 controller
with expansion modules, and the new controller will then be swapped in with the expansion modules at that site?
"If" that is the case, then you should not need to do anything other than download the program, which does contain the expansion modules, and then send the controller to the site.
It will of course fault for you as you are attempting to Run the program without the expansion modules present. But once at the site, and the correct I/O Configuration is present in the program and physically present at the controller, then the program should go straight to Run Mode without faulting.
Again, if you do need to go to Run Mode for testing, before you send the controller, then you will have to inhibit each expansion module in the I/O Configuration, or else it will keep faulting - Error xx87h for module not found.
Do please clarify the situation so we can be more sure what you are looking for here. But I think between us, you should have enough to go on.
