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.

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.

Routines do not warn on Overflow Fault Setting Mismatch (Lgx00190654, Lgx00190708)

When creating a routine and locking it, and then changing the Report Overflow Faults setting on the Controller Properties dialog box - Advanced tab, the fault reporting behavior might not match what is expected. For example, when locking a routine with the Report Overflow Faults setting unselected, but then selecting the setting and downloading the project to the controller, no overflow would be reported for that routine. If locking a routine with the Report Overflow Faults setting selected, but then clearing the setting and downloading the project to the controller, no overflow would be reported for that routine, but there might be a decrease in runtime performance and increase in download time.
This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

Undefined Tag error (Lgx00190787)

Undefined Tag error displays when spaces are used between commas in the Ladder Editor. Spaces between commas are no longer needed.

Error changing slot positions for Point I/O module (Lgx00190599)

When adding a module to a Point I/O rack offline, the module is configured for slot 1 by default. When updating the module profile with the correct slot position and downloading the project to the controller, error 16#0205 occurs.
This anomaly first identified in version 28.02.01.

Follow these instructions to work around the issue:

Go offline, remove the module, and add it again in the correct slot.

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.

Scaling automatically changes when axis properties page opens (Lgx00198118)

When opening an axis property page, if the system is missing the associated motor data because the custom motor file CMF may not have been installed, the property page could potentially reset the Load Type attribute. Additional data related to the Load Type is then modified. To correct this anomaly, if the motor data file cannot be found, the axis attribute is left in its current state.
This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

Stator Leakage Reactance value incorrect in version 29.00.00 and version 30.00.00 (Lgx00198187)

This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

Coordinated System attributes internal access rules for GSV and SSV tag (Lgx00190407)

Several Coordinated system attributes indicated that they supported GSV access when they did not support this access. This has been corrected.
This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

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.

Start Pending Edits via Ctrl + Shift + S causes undocked Structured Text routine to lose focus (Lgx00204976)

When the Structured Text routine is in a pending routine edits state, the focus is moved to the Logix Designer application main window. The Structured Text routine state should be in Start Pending Routine and the focus should be on the Structured Text routine.
This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

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.

Not enough storage (Lgx00195006)

Not enough storage is available to complete this operation error displays when downloading, importing, or exporting a large number of SFC routines.

This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

Search option causes fatal error (Lgx00196741)

Performing a Find Next in the Find in Routines dialog box while in a tag window causes the Logix Designer application to stop performing. This occurs when the Find in Routines dialog box is closed after performing a search in a routine.
This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

Perform one of the following workarounds to address this issue:

Leave the Find dialog box open after performing a search. When opening a controller or program tag window, the Find dialog box updates the settings and works correctly.

Always open the Find dialog box first via Search > Find. For example, open a tag window and then open the Find dialog box. The Find in Tags dialog box opens.

Upgrading revision (Lgx00197111)

Attempting to upgrade the revision of a project from version 20.01.00 to version 30.00.00 while maintaining the same controller, causes a fatal error in the Logix Designer application.
This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

Perform one of the following workarounds to address this issue:

Upgrade the revision to version 24.00.00 and then upgrade version 24.00.00 to version 30.00.00.

Export the L5K file in version 20.00.00. Create a new project in Studio 5000 Logix Designer using the From Import option. Import the exported L5K file back into the version 20.00.00 project.

Vendor specific error code (Lgx00137897)

This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

Redundancy switchover with test edits issue with Change Detection (Lgx00189950, Lgx00190153)

When redundancy is enabled but test edits of a tracked routine are not retained, and switchover occurs with test edits running, the Tracked State value on the redundant controller shows the tracked state value of the controller with test edits, even though the test edits are not running in the redundant controller.
This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

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.

Upload fails with mismatch redundancy-enabled project file (Lgx00191976, Lgx00191570)

When attempting to upload a redundancy-enabled project from the controller, the upload fails unless the computer contains a version of the project file that was originally downloaded.
This anomaly first identified in version 30.00.00.

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.

Logix Designer version 30.02 has these changes in functionality since the last release.

The entire installation was automated for ease and convenience. The wizard is used to install Logix Designer and supporting applications. After selecting the software to install, the installer prepares the files needed for that version of software. After the files are prepared, choose from two installation methods:

• Install now - Installs the components available using the recommended settings.
• Customize - Choose which components to install.

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

These are the application notes for Logix Designer version 30.02.

While the programming software continues to extend its functionality with each new release, the supported physical controllers 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 provide a means to support the older hardware in most cases. If migrating from one controller to another, a project created for one controller is easily converted to another controller using the Controller Properties configuration dialog box within the software.

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

The table provides a breakdown of the various Logix 5000 controllers and the initial or minimum version of Logix Designer application that is required to support the controller.

When installing version 30.02 of Logix Designer, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 is installed automatically. However, .NET Framework 4.6 can cause these issues:

• When previous versions of Logix Designer are installed after version 30.00, .NET Framework 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 Framework 4.6 causes versions 23.00 and earlier of the Logix Designer application to fail on startup.

• Do not install version 30.02 of the Logix Designer application on a 32-bit Windows operating system also running version 23.00 or earlier of the Logix Designer application.
• Contact Rockwell Automation Support for instructions on disabling the Logix Designer Start page on versions 23.00 or earlier. Disabling the Start page allows the Logix Designer application to start and run.
