Hi again, my client may need a new CPU module and I want to sell them one anyway as a spare if needed. The existing CPU module is a Series A and I see online that I can buy new Series C modules.
In RsLogix, with the customer program open, in Controller Properties you can change the processor type from an A to C .... Just before you click OK, it gives you a warning popup stating "Changing the processor type may result in a loss of data and/or I/O configuration. Are you sure you want to continue?" I don't know how to interpret that message. Once you click YES, the program is somehow modified and checks out OK using File and Project checker. Is this a common and safe thing to do? Should I be concerned about doing this? When onsite I will be in an extremely remote location, I don't want to take any chances...thanks very much in advance .
