Hello,
I have a company that uses e3 Pluses with devicenet that talks to the L63 processor over a 1788-cn2dn device.
E3 Pluses aren't being sold anymore and they just can't use Ebay (Steel Mill).
They can't easily upgrade to E300 ethernet because the setup uses the 1757-SRM redundancy, which means it cannot do EIP I/O control.
E300s do come in devicenet though, and can be put in E3 Plus emulation mode.
My question is if I switch one E3 DN with an E300 DN in emulation mode and set to the same node, would it work without downloading to the scanner? I can't just download the scanner, it'll shut down the whole plant.
I've seen the RA document on how to change the wiring from one to the other, but I haven't seen anything about being able to switch them out without downloading to the DN side of the cn2dn.
Thanks
