CCOTF Types
Original instructions
About us
Introduction
You can perform several types of CCOTF modifications on the local rack or an RIO drop. The types of modifications include adding/deleting modules, modifying module parameters, and adding an RIO drop.
NOTE: Use an M580 CPU version 2.00 (or later) to manage local I/O CCOTF features.
One or more CCOTF modifications comprise a single transaction in Control Expert. A CCOTF transaction executes when you select Build → Build Changes.
Confirm that all CCOTF modifications in a transaction are the same type of modification. For example, you cannot add a module and delete a module in an RIO drop.
Confirm that all adding module modifications or deleting module modifications in a single transaction are associated with one task type (MAST, FAST, AUX0 or AUX1).
Refer to the Modicon M580 Remote I/O Modules Installation and Configuration Guide and the Modicon M580 Hardware Reference Manual regarding the types of tasks that are allowed in local and RIO drops.

(1) Exceptions:
  • forcing online
  • changing the module association with a task
  • In RUN, you cannot set a group of channels to "none" for a module that is declared in the Device DDT.
(2) A BM•CRA31210 (e)X80 performance adapter is required in a CCOTF transaction on an RIO drop. (3) CCOTF cannot be performed for a digital module that has time stamping configured on one of its channels. (4) The channel is not reset during parameter change. No channel task change. (5) You cannot change task and event number parameters. (6) You cannot add/delete an analog module with HART capability. You may change its configuration and parameters only. (7) When you perform an online change in IODDT, %SW100 and %SW101 are not affected. You can modify module configuration parameters in online mode in IODDT. (8) On a local rack, you cannot remove a digital input module that supports Run/Stop input (when selected) or Memory Protect input (when selected).
Legend:
  • –: irrelevant
  • N: no available mechanism
NOTE:
CCOTF does not support the following:
  • modules with topological I/O data type
  • move a module in one modification
  • add/delete an extended rack
  • Premium modules
  • unplug a TSXTLYEX line terminator or BMXXBC•••K and TSXCBY•••K cables
NOTE: CCOTF allows you to copy/paste a module. The new module has the parameter values of the copied module.
Modules Supported in CCOTF
CCOTF supports these modules in RIO drops and main/extended local racks:
