WARNING: The Productivity3000 PAC supports Hot Swap. Individual modules, expansion bases, and
entire remote base groups can be taken offline, removed, and replaced while the rest of the PAC system
continues controlling your process. Hot Swapping is performed with a HOT (powered) system. EXTREME
care must be taken to prevent damage to components, terminal blocks, or even personal injury due to a
short circuit from the live terminal block. Before attempting to use the hot swap feature, be sure to read
the hot swap topic in the ProductivitySuite Help file for details on how to plan your installation for use of
this powerful feature.
