Safety Task Prevents Event Instruction from Triggering a Standard Task (Lgx00172306, Lgx00180423)

Corrected Anomaly in Firmware Revision 30.011 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer^® v30.00 

Known Anomaly First Identified in Version 20.013

Catalog Numbers GuardLogix^® 5570

If a project uses an event instruction in the Safety Task to trigger a Standard Task, the instance number for that Standard Task is locked into the Safety Task once a Safety Signature is created.

If you re-download the application, the instance number for the Standard Task changes. This does not change the instance number that is already locked into the Safety Task. This can cause the Safety Task to prevent the event instruction from triggering the Standard task, a major non-recoverable fault on the controller, or the Standard Task to not execute correctly.

Tracked State Value for Redundant Controller May Not Be Correct After A Switchover (Lgx00189950, Lgx00190153, Lgx00190152)

Corrected Anomaly in Firmware Revision 31.051

Known Anomaly first identified in version 30.00

Catalog Numbers: ControlLogix® 5570 Redundant Controllers

When you enable redundancy but do not retain test edits of a tracked routine, and switchover occurs with test edits running, the Tracked State value on the redundant controller will show the tracked state value of the controller with test edits, even though the test edits are not running in the redundant controller.

Follow one of these steps to work around the issue:

• On the redundant controller (after the switchover, the new primary controller), make a test edit, then undo the test edit. The Tracked State value should now be correct.
• Configure redundancy to retain test edits.

Routines may not indicate an Overflow Fault setting mismatch (Lgx00190654, Lgx00190708)

Anomaly first identified in version 30.00

If you create a routine and lock it, and then change the Report Overflow Faults setting on the Controller Properties dialog box - Advanced tab, the fault reporting behavior might not match what you expect. For example, if you lock a routine with the Report Overflow Faults setting unselected, but then select the setting and download the project to the controller, no overflow would be reported for that routine. If you lock a routine with the Report Overflow Faults setting selected, but then unselect the setting and download the project to the controller, no overflow would be reported for that routine, but you could still experience the possible decrease in runtime performance and increase in download time.

Rungs missing in routine after online edit with Logix Designer (Lgx00196898, Lgx00200753, Lgx00201030)

Anomaly first identified in Studio 5000 Logix Designer v28

Studio 5000 Logix Designer v28, v29, v30

Corrected Anomaly in Studio 5000 Logix Designer v30.01, v28.03

If online changes are made to a ladder logic routine within a ControlLogix 5580 or CompactLogix 5380 controller and those changes are assembled or tested, and subsequently removed, all rungs within the routine may be removed when the Go Online command in Logix Designer application is used to initiate the edit.

The rungs appear as missing within the Logix Designer editor. Controller projects that have been online edited continue to operate as expected until the Go Online command is used and a subsequent download of the resulting project file is performed.

All of the following conditions must be met for this anomaly to occur:

• The routine must have been created using the Logix Designer ladder logic editor.
• Online edits occurred and edits have been assembled or tested.
• Edits made to a ladder routine have been removed through a cancel operation or re-editing the routine to back out changes that have been made such that the resulting routine has not changed.
• Open a file in Studio 5000 Logix Designer application that does not have the changes and use the Go Online command to connect to the edited controller, forcing correlation of the online version with the offline version.

If these conditions are met, when the affected routine is opened in the Logix Designer ladder logic editor, all rungs within that routine are missing and the number of rungs reported by the Controller Organization within Logix Designer is zero. If the affected routine is opened an empty rung is added and project validation fails. However, if the affected routine is not opened, project validation will pass and allow download of the application to the controller with the affected routine now missing all rungs within the controller.

Important - The rungs appear as missing within the Logix Designer ladder editor, but controller projects that have been online edited continue to operate as expected within the controller until downloaded.

For complete information, see Knowledgebase article 1063358: Product Notice 2017-10-002 Logix Designer Ladder Logic Editor Missing All Rungs in a Routine when Online with Correlation after Online Edits are removed in ControlLogix 5580 and CompactLogix 5380.

Source Protection causes incorrect value references (Lgx00219002)

Instructions in a routine protected with License Based Source Protection use arguments that are directly referencing Public parameters from another program. These Public parameters in the other program are aliases to members of a Local array. When running, the values of the specific arguments are taken from a Public parameter within the same program where the routine resides and not taken from the other program. When the routine is not protected, the values of the instruction argument are correct.

This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.

With 1756-L8 controllers, when an axis, CIP axis, or Virtual axis is referenced via an InOut Parameter, SSV/GSV commands generate a compiler error, and the routine does not download.

This anomaly first identified in version 28.00.

To work around this issue:

• Remove the connection to the axis.
• Use the controller tag directly in the SSV.

This sequence of events can result in unexpected tag values:

1. An Add-On Instruction contains an alias parameter that points to a member of a local tag.

2. The alias parameter is changed to a base tag, either by editing the AOI definition directly or by importing a modified Add-On Instruction that overwrites the existing Add-On Instruction.

3. The instance values for the previously aliased parameters now contains unexpected values.

This anomaly first identified in version 18.00.

Follow one of these steps to work around the issue:

• To replace all values in all instances of the modified Add-On Instruction with the default values, double-click the Parameters and Local Tags folder for the modified Add-On Instruction, then click Copy default values in the Monitor Tags window.  This replaces all existing values for tags of this Add-On Instruction type with their default values.
• To replace the values for only the previously aliased parameters, in the Tag Monitor window, select each Add-On Instruction instance from the Data Context menu and then modify the values for the desired parameters.

Converting a generic Ethernet safety module to a later version (Lgx00195596)

If a project containing a generic Ethernet safety module is converted from one version of the Logix Designer application to a later version, changes to the safety configuration signature ID are not deleted. The connection to the safety device keeps running after the safety configuration signature is changed. If the generic Ethernet safety module is deleted and re-added to the project, then the safety configuration signature works as expected.
This anomaly first identified in version 24.00.00.

Failed to create module library, not registered (Lgx00203463)

Failed to create module library in a project that uses the 1768-L45 controller. The 1768-L45 controller is no longer a supported controller.
This anomaly first identified in version 20.04.02.

MCAO default value zero (Lgx00188302)

Axis attribute number 608, Zero Speed, had its default value changed from 0.00 to 1.0% Motor Rated. This change was made to address potential problems in vertical-load applications.
This anomaly first identified in version 28.00.00.

Out of range attribute and ACD file (Lgx00182216)

It is possible for users to push an axis attribute out of range. This is typically done when an SSV is in the controller, and the user saves or uploads the project. Save the file by exporting it as an L5K or L5X file. Upon import of the L5K file, the out of range attribute is corrected and a waning message opens. Upon import of an L5X file, the axis is deleted. This deletion of the L5X file is by design.
This anomaly first identified in version 28.00.00.

Missing rungs of logic (Lgx00196898)

When going online with the controller with an existing project, the uploaded copy of the project has missing rungs of logic. When the project is uploaded to a new project, the rungs of logic show in the project.
This anomaly first identified in version 28.02.00.

Not enough memory (Lgx00190656)

The Logix Designer application runs out of memory when uploading a large amount of tag data at one time.
This anomaly first identified in version 28.02.01.

To work around this issue:

Free up memory before saving. For example, close all routine windows, tag editors, and property pages.

Do not upload tag data values when saving.

Repeatedly load a few records at a time.

Vendor specific error code (Lgx00137897)

When the controller attempts to open a connection with a 3rd-party device on EtherNet/IP, it causes the device to return a vendor specific error (0x01, 0x320). This error code is interpreted incorrectly in the Logix Designer application Module Properties dialog box, Connection tab.
This anomaly first identified in version 20.01.02.

Allow Unicast Consumer Connections check box (Lgx00159102)

When offline in the Logix Designer application, the Allow Unicast Consumer Connections check box clears or resets itself when changing the Max Consumers value of a safety product tag for the 1756-L73S/A controller, firmware version 20.01.00. This does not occur when modifying a standard product tag.
This anomaly first identified in version 20.01.02.

Recent projects overridden (Lgx00197976)

When opening a project in Studio 5000 Logix Designer, all Studio 5000 Logix Designer and RSLogix 5000 recent projects are overridden by the most recent saved project.
This anomaly first identified in version 21.03.02.

Fatal error when saving RSNetWorx™ for EtherNetIP project (Lgx00192550)

Studio 5000 Logix Designer has a fatal error when saving a project using an RSNetWorx for EtherNet/IP file that is embedded in a 1756-EN2T in slot 0 and a 1756-L73S in slot 1/2 during the merging connection output step.

This anomaly first identified in version 21.03.

Error when running trend (Lgx00204911)

Running a trend generates a Communication request too large for network error.

This anomaly first identified in 28.01.

Source protected routine or Add-On Instruction not executing after download (1312820, Lgx00233725)

Licensed-based Source Protected routines or Add-On Instructions in a Logix Designer application stop executing after a download, when a routine or Add-On Instruction is locked online and previously compiled data was deleted during the Compact operation.  See technote 1132965 for additional details.

This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.

Error when attempting to run a trend (1435208)

The Logix Designer application is unable to run a trend in v29 or earlier after switching communication software from RSLinx Classic to FactoryTalk Linx in another instance of the Logix Designer application v31 and later on the same workstation.

Once a trend is run in the Logix Designer application v31 and later, using FactoryTalk Linx as the communication software, you will receive this error message if you then attempt to run a trend in the Logix Designer application v29 or earlier on the same workstation:

Error: <trend name> - : Can’t open the specified RSLinx driver.

For more information, refer to the technical note BF23206.

This anomaly first identified in version 20.00.

Module Info B tab empty (1815893)

An anomaly in the AOP core (v26.32.51.0) installed with v34.00 Studio5000 Logix Designer prevents redundant 1715-AENTR and 1715 IO modules Module Info B tab from displaying information while online. 

Consider these work arounds:

• Use an MSG instruction as documented in AID 55301 and AID 55305
• Reference the backing tags of the 1715 adapter :S tags and 1715 IO :I tags

This anomaly first identified in version 20.05.

Mismatching display resolution and scaling may result in overlapping SFC elements (2122642)

Editing a Sequential Function Chart (SFC)) using a display with a given resolution (for example, 1920 x 1200) and Windows scale setting (for example, 100%), closing the ACD, and then opening the same ACD in another resolution (for example, 3840 x 2160) and Windows scale setting (for example, 150%) may result in overlapping SFC elements.

Functional changes in Studio 5000 Logix Designer version 30

Studio 5000 Logix Designer version 30.00 has the following changes in functionality since the last release.

Installation wizard

The entire installation has been automated for ease and convenience. The wizard is used to install Logix Designer and supporting applications on your system. After you select the software you want to install, the installer prepares the files needed for that version of software. After the files are prepared you choose from two installation methods:

• Install now - Installs the components available on your system using the recommended settings.
• Customize - You choose which components to install.

Tip: Keep the following considerations in mind before installing the Logix Designer application:

• Some antivirus software blocks or disrupts the Studio 5000 environment installation. If you experience difficulty, try disabling your antivirus software before installation.
• Make sure that you have Administrator privileges on the computer on which you want to install the Studio 5000 environment.

Changes to FactoryTalk Security permissions

• In this version of Logix Designer, a routine name and description can be modified when the Routine: Modify Properties permission is allowed. In earlier versions, both the Routine: Modify Properties and Routine: View Logic permissions had to be allowed before a routine name and description could be changed.

• Similarly, an Add-On Instruction name and description can be modified when the Add-On Instruction: Modify Properties permission is allowed. In earlier versions, both the Add-On Instruction: Modify Properties and Add-On Instruction: View Logic permissions had to be allowed a routine name and description could be changed.

• The permission to export routines and Add-On Instructions has been decoupled from the Project: Export permission. Users can export routines and Add-On Instructions only when the Add-On Instruction: Export and Routine: Export permissions are set to Allow. The project export fails if the Export permission is not allowed for all routines and Add-On Instructions.

Import/Export

The Import/Export version number for version 30 of Logix Designer application is 2.21. The following table lists the Import/Export versions for previous releases.

The following are the application notes for Logix Designer version 30.00.

While the programming software continues to extend its functionality with each new release, the physical controllers that it supports will vary. New controllers are added, and in some cases, support for existing controllers may be removed. While a specific controller may not be supported by the current release, the side-by-side installation of multiple versions of the software will, in most cases provide a means to support the older hardware. If you decide to migrate from one controller to another, a project created for one controller can be easily converted to another controller using the Controller Properties configuration dialog box within the software.

If you open a project that is configured for a controller that is no longer supported and the older version of software is not installed, the software will provide an appropriate warning and will automatically provide the option to convert the project to one of the controllers supported by the release.

If you uninstall the CodeMeter kit, which is installed with the FactoryTalk® Activation Manager, the Logix Designer application fails to uninstall. To restore the CodeMeter kit, uninstall the FactoryTalk Activation Manager and then reinstall it.

The Phase Manager and SequenceManager features are not available for CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, and ControlLogix 5580 controllers in this release of the Logix Designer application.

When editing existing standard STRINGs or entering a new STRING, if there is a non-alphanumeric character in the STRING, such as a space, period or apostrophe, you need to add an escape carriage.

When you install version 30 of Logix Designer, Microsoft .NET 4.6 is installed automatically. However, .NET 4.6 can cause the following issues:

• When previous versions of Logix Designer are installed after version 30, .NET 4.6 may cause installation to fail for these earlier versions of the Logix Designer application.
• When installed on 32-bit Windows operating systems, .NET 4.6 causes versions 23 and earlier of the Logix Designer application to fail on startup.

Follow one of these steps to work around the issue:

• Do not install version 30 of the Logix Designer application on a 32-bit Windows operating system on which you also run version 23 or earlier of the Logix Designer application.
• Contact Rockwell Automation Support for instructions on disabling the Logix Designer Start page on versions 23 or earlier. Disabling the Start page allows the Logix Designer application to start and run.

When you use version 29.00 or later to open a project from a release earlier than version 29.00, the signature breaks for any Add-On Instruction (AOI) included in the project. In the same way, when you import an AOI from a project created in a release earlier than version 29.00, the signature breaks for that AOI. You must un-seal and then re-seal each AOI to get a new signature.

Kinetix® Encoder Emulator RPI must match the Motion Task update rate

The Requested Packet Interval (RPI) setting for the Kinetix Encoder Emulator must match the Motion Group Base Update period. If the RPI setting and the Motion Group Base Update period do not match, output can fail from the Encoder Emulator.

When the font size in Windows 7 is set to 125%, the labels in the Network Settings and DHCP properties of BOOTP-DHCP Server application are cut off, making them unreadable. They are also dislocated, where they do not match with the proper input fields.

If you use a Custom RSLogix 5000 Motion Database in RSLogix 5000 software version 12 through 17, you need an updated motion database to work with versions 18 or later. The following table lists the motion database revisions that are used with these application versions.

* Before a Custom Motor can be used in version 18 or later, any Custom Motor currently in a motion database file at revision 5 or earlier (Motion.db format) must be converted to the newer Motion.mdb format.

Application Note First Identified Studio 5000 Logix Designer Version 24.00

When using Logix Designer application v24.00 and later to open a prior version .ACD file containing a module referenced by an instruction and also a program-scoped tag of the same name as the module, an “Invalid data type” error occurs during verification.

To work around this error, rename either the module or the tag and ensure all instructions correctly reference the module.
