Hot swapping is the ability to remove certain non-safety-related I/O electronic module from its bus base and then replace it with an identical electronic module while the TM5 Safety-Related System is under power without disrupting the normal operations of the controller. When the electronic module is returned to its bus base or replaced with another electronic module with the same reference, it starts to operate again. For more detailed information refer to Hot Swapping Electronic Modules in the PacDrive TM5 / TM7 Flexible System, System Planning and Installation Guide.
