Re: [foxboro] How to move a FCP online from one Switch to another Switch?

Andreas,
FT FCP270 connected to two switches.
Remember cables from a FT FCP270 are thru a splitter/combiner.

When you remove first FCP cable from first switch, that cable is a
combination of both FCP's A cable.
So the FCP270 pair switches to it's B connection to Mesh.
Both FCP's stay running.

Connect A to new switch. So now A cable on new switch B cable on old.
FCP270 then recovers communication on A and auto switches back to A
ports/switch.

Duplicate same move as above for B connection...

You should never have Single FCP270..during above procedure..it should
mainatin FT operation.

Subject: [foxboro] How to move a FCP online from one Switch to another
Switch?

Dear experts,

what's the best way to move a FCP270 online from one switch to another?

Online means that an Operator on a AW should be able to see all Object
Manager / Compound:Block.Parameter values hosted on that FCP.

a scenario could be:

= redundant connection
- single connection


step 1 "current situation"

                                +==>ATS<==>NCNI<==>Switch<==>RCNI<==>AW
on the Nodebus
                                |
AW on the Mesh <==> Root-Switch <==>SW<===>FCP


step 2 "remove the connection from the FCP to one of the two redundant
switches"


                                +==>ATS<==>NCNI<==>Switch<==>RCNI<==>AW
on the Nodebus
                                |
AW on the Mesh <==> Root-Switch <==>SW<--->FCP


step 3 "connect the FCP to another switch"

                                +==>ATS<==>NCNI<==>Switch<==>RCNI<==>AW
on the Nodebus
                                |
AW on the Mesh <==> Root-Switch <==>SW<--->FCP
                          +                 |
                          |-----------------|


step 4 "move the other connection the other switch"


                                +==>ATS<==>NCNI<==>Switch<==>RCNI<==>AW
on the Nodebus
                                |
AW on the Mesh <==> Root-Switch <==>SW
                          +                 
                          |<==============>FCP


step 5 "reset the failed FCP module so that it marries again"

Is it possible and supported to do that?

Regards,
Andreas
