When a slave has been declared faulty, it can be automatically replaced with a slave of the same type.
This happens without the AS-i bus having to stop and without any particular manipulation as long as the
Automatic addressing utility of the configuration mode is active.
Two options are available:
-
The replacement slave is programmed with the same address using the pocket programmer, and has the same profile as the faulty slave. It will then be automatically inserted into the list of detected slaves (LDS) and list of active slaves (LAS).
-
The replacement slave is blank (address 0, new slave) and has the same profile as the faulty slave. It will automatically assume the address of the replaced slave, and will then be inserted into the list of detected slaves (LDS) and the list of active slaves (LAS).
