A check box can be used to specify which slaves should store a CRC.

Then the lower part defines how many of these slaves have to have the correct CRC so that the project is automatically restored after the EtherCAT Safety Module has been replaced.

Check box: <name of the FSoE Slave>

_visu_icon_checked_box.png: A CRC is saved for this slave.

Restore if <number> from <maximum numberl> FSoE slaves have the correct CRC stored

Defines the minimum number of saved slave CRCs which that must match the current slave CRCs so that the project is automatically restored after an exchange.

Important

The same administrator password has to be set on the replaced EtherCAT Safety Modules.
