Hello, I've had a 1746-NT8 thermocouple input card fail on an SLC5/05 unit. There is another TC card in this rack that has spare input channels available. In an effort to avoid shutting down the PLC for a card swap, I'd like to move the inputs(which still work) from the failed card to the existing card with spare channels.
My question is this: Do I have to change every instruction that references the old input channel to correctly reference the new one? That will be a lot of online edits. If so, is there a quick way to do this or a procedure to follow? I would just be doing an online edit, but I'm trying to test this with Logix500 Emulate which, unfortunately, does not allow online edits.
Thanks in advance.
