If a device is defective and has to be physically replaced, this can be implemented in IP-Symcon without creating a new instance. This has the advantage that the object IDs of the instance and the associated variables do not change. This means that any linked scripts do not have to be adapted to the new IDs.
Devices are addressed and integrated in IP-Symcon via so-called instances.
System-specific addresses are often available on the configuration page of the respective entity.
This can be changed without changing the object ID.
If the system used has a configurator, it can be updated and also adopts the changes
For replacement, the configuration of the defective device must be opened in IP-Symcon and the three-level address of the old device must be exchanged with that of the new one. The address can be checked in the configurator.
The new address should now have an InstanceID.
The three-level address in the marked area must be replaced and saved with "Apply".
For replacement, the configuration of the defective device must be opened in IP-Symcon and the address of the old device must be replaced with that of the new one. The address is either on the device itself or can be selected via "Search".
The address in the highlighted area must be replaced and saved with "Apply".
For replacement, the configuration of the defective device must be opened in IP-Symcon and the 16-digit address of the old device must be replaced for that of the new one. The address can be checked in the configurator.
The new address should now have an InstanceID.
The 16-digit address in the marked area must be replaced and saved with "Apply".
For replacement, the configuration of the defective device must be opened in IP-Symcon and the NodeID of the old device must be replaced for that of the new one. The NodeID can be checked in the configurator.
The new NodeID should now have an InstanceID.
The NodeID in the marked area must be replaced and saved with "Apply".
