SLC 500 Motion Control Module (1746-HS)

[Helmsy]

Hello,

We have an old SLC 500 that has two 1746-HS Single Axis Motion Control Modules. One of these modules is bad. Verified by swapping out a motion module with an identical machine. Is there any way to replace these old 1746-HS modules? I bought a refurbished one from Radwell but from what I've read you need to have the ODS software, which we do not have, to program the parameters. Am I reading that right or is there another way around using this software?

Thanks

Are the parameters loaded up from the PLC? Is there a way to save the parameters once loaded in flash?
