Disconnecting an old controller

Before you disconnect the existing controller, make sure that you take a note of its IP address and other network settings. You will need to enter this information into the replacement controller before it will operate on the network.
  1. To take note of the network settings, select Controller Setup > Miscellaneous > Network TCP/IP Settings.

  2. Take a screen capture or write down the properties.
    Scroll down. There are a lot of properties in this view.
  3. Remove both AC and battery backup power from the existing controller.
  4. Wait for the controller to shut down, then disconnect all connectors and remove the controller from the cabinet.
  5. If the existing controller has an option card, remove the card.
