what is input and output cards of plc needs to be hot
swappable mean

Answer Posted / carl_ellis

To 'swap' is to 'exchange'.
'Hot' means electrically live and powered.

The term "hot swappable" means that an I/O card can be
replaced while the PLC/PAC/controller rack/chassis is
powered and running.

The assumption is that the controller will recognize
or 'see' the replacement card and do whatever
initialization is required to bring the I/O card back on-
line.

An I/O card that is not 'hot-swappable' requires a cold
start, power-up, initialization sequence for the controller
to recognize the card.

Tell 'em Carl sent you.

i have used level transmitter in starch cooking preparation tank. tank total height 2mtr.sometime LT display shows some error value when tank is fully empty and diaphragm side i already checked okay no problem in diaphragm area. field cable checked 24volt and mA shows correct value while tank empty mA is 4mA. 4mA i needed that 0% but display showing 10% or 15% percentage values are varying continously please give any good solution for me.....
