Procedure for Disabling Media Redundancy

When disabling Media Redundancy, the ring must be physically opened before storing configuration to the
modules. Here is the procedure to successfully disable Media Redundancy on a network.
1. If the ring has no breaks in it, physically disconnect one (and only one) of the ring's network connections
from the PROFINET Controller that is currently serving as the Media Redundancy Manager.
2. Change the configuration for the device that is the Media Redundancy Manager so that it will no longer
serve as the Media Redundancy Manager. If an RX3i PROFINET Controller is the Media Redundancy
Manager, use Proficy Machine Edition to disable the Media Redundancy role on that PROFINET Controller
and then to download the hardware configuration. (If a third-party I/O controller is the Media Redundancy
Manager, the appropriate third-party configuration tool must be used instead.)
