Requirements

This release has the following requirements.

Controller Restrictions in Redundancy Systems with Revision 35.013_kit1

Known Restrictions as of ControlLogix® Redundancy Revision 35.013_kit1

This revision supports the following: ControlLogix 5580 controllers, 1756-RM2, 1756-RM2K, and 1756-RM2XT modules.

1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TK, 1756-EN2TR, 1756-EN2TXT, 1756-EN2F, 1756-EN2FK, 1756-EN2TP, 1756-EN2TPK, 1756-EN2TPXT:

The 1756-EN2x communication modules do not support bumpless I/O on switchover with Immediate Output (IOT) instructions. Because these modules do not support bumpless I/O on switchover with the IOT instruction, they cannot override the RPI in a remote chassis and immediately send new data over the EtherNet/IP network.


1756-EN4TR, 1756-EN4TRK, 1756-EN4TRXT:

The 1756-EN4TR modules with firmware revision 4.001 or later support CIP Security for program upload/download/monitoring (not I/O) when the modules are paired with redundant ControlLogix 5580 controllers in the redundant chassis pair. The ControlLogix 5580 controllers must be at firmware revision 34.011 or later, and the 1756-EN4TR pair must be configured for non-IP address swapping.


The 1756-EN4TR modules are also supported in a remote rack as a standard adapter or in a redundant adapter architecture.


ControlLogix 5580 redundancy-enabled controllers, 1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TK, 1756-EN2TR, 1756-EN2TRK, 1756-EN2TRXT, 1756-EN2TXT, 1756-EN2F, 1756-EN2FK, 1756-EN2TP, 1756-EN2TPK, 1756-EN2TPXT, 1756-EN4TR, 1756-EN4TRK, 1756-EN4TRXT:

A redundant controller project cannot contain consumed Unicast connections. The project can contain produced Unicast tags that are consumed by remote consumers.

CIP Sync Technology Included in Redundant Systems:

1 - There are differences between CIP Sync technology in non-redundant systems and redundancy systems.

2 - IMPORTANT: Before you use this enhancement in a redundancy system, see these publications for a full understanding of CIP Sync technology in any system:

- ControlLogix 5580 Redundant Controller User Manual, publication 1756-UM015

- Integrated Architecture® and CIP Sync Configuration Application Technique, publication IA-AT003

Consider the following when you use CIP Sync technology in a redundancy system:

1 - If you enable CIP Sync Time Synchronization in the controllers in a redundant chassis pair, you must also enable Time Synchronization in the EtherNet/IP communication modules in the redundant chassis pair so all devices have one path to the Grandmaster.


2 - If time synchronization is enabled in any controller in the primary chassis of a disqualified Redundant Chassis Pair, and no EtherNet/IP communication modules in the primary chassis have time synchronization enabled, the redundant chassis pair attempts to qualify. However, in these application conditions, the attempt to qualify fails.


3 - While CIP Sync technology can handle multiple paths between master and slave clocks, it resolves mastership most effectively if you configure the redundant paths so that Time Synchronization is enabled in only the minimum required number of EtherNet/IP communication modules.

For example, if your redundant chassis pair has three 1756-EN2T communication modules and all are connected to the same network, enable Time Synchronization in only one of the modules.


4 - If the primary controller is the Grandmaster, the redundancy system automatically manages the CIP Sync clock attributes so that the controller in the primary chassis is always set to be the Grandmaster instead of the secondary controller. This clock management makes sure that a change to a new Grandmaster when the redundancy system switches over.


When a switchover occurs, these events take place:

- The Grandmaster status transfers from the original primary controller to the new primary controller. This transfer can take longer to complete than if Grandmaster status was transferred between devices in a non-redundant system.

- The synchronization of the redundancy system can take longer when you use CIP Sync technology.


ControlLogix 5580 controllers

You can have only one controller in each chassis in a redundant chassis pair.


The embedded EtherNet port is disabled when the controller is enabled for redundancy.


Do not use Match Project to Controller property with redundant controllers. If you use the Match Project to Controller property available in the Advanced tab of the Controller Properties dialog box, you cannot go online with, download to, or upload from the new primary controller after a switchover. This is because the serial number of the new primary controller is not the same as the serial number of the old primary controller and the project cannot be matched to the new primary controller.


The Firmware Supervisor feature is not supported in a redundant system.


You cannot use event tasks in a ControlLogix redundancy system. When you enable redundancy, you must change event tasks to nonevent tasks or delete them from your project.


You cannot use Motion in ControlLogix redundancy systems. A remote controller can contain motion instructions even if it is on the same network as a redundancy system.


Under some error conditions, often configuration related, the 1756-RM2 module continually attempts to requalify the system while the error prevents it from being successful. This causes the redundancy module error log to fill with the same error condition. If the system is in this condition, the redundancy module display cycles between QFNG and DISQ. To stop this from happening, change the redundancy module synchronization trigger in the Redundancy Module Configuration Tool (RMCT) to Never, until the error condition is corrected.


The MinDurationACC alarm tag member value does not update, and it stays at a 0 value. This change does not affect the MinDuration calculations.


1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TK, 1756-EN2TR, 1756-EN2TRK, 1756-EN2TRXT, 1756-EN2TXT, 1756-EN2F, 1756-EN2FK, 1756-EN2TP, 1756-EN2TPK, 1756-EN2TPXT:

The System Event History displays a `Module Failure’ entry when you insert a 1756-EN2x communication module in the chassis while the redundant chassis pair is synchronized. This is not indicative of any module failure; instead, it indicates that only a communication module was inserted in the chassis.

Firmware revision 5.029 is not included in the redundancy system, revision 35.013_kit1 firmware bundle. You must download and install this digitally signed firmware after the redundancy bundle is installed.

Important: When you install the digitally signed firmware, that is, firmware revision 5.029, into a 1756-EN2T/C (or earlier), 1756-EN2TR/B (or earlier), or 1756-EN2F/B (or earlier) module, the installation makes the module incompatible with some firmware revisions. For example, after you update firmware, the module supports use of only digitally signed firmware. The module rejects any unsigned firmware updates.

You can download firmware revision 5.029 and the redundancy system firmware bundle, revision 35.013_kit1, at the Product Compatibility and Download Center.

Tip: Select the base catalog number in ControlFLASH PLUS™ software when upgrading extended temperature or conformal coated modules. For example, select the 1756-EN2TR when upgrading a 1756-EN2TRXT module. Extended temperature and conformal coated modules use the same Redundancy module ControlFLASH PLUS kit.

You can download firmware revision 5.029 and the redundancy system firmware bundle, revision 35.013_kit2, at the Product Compatibility and Download Center.

Tip: Select the base catalog number in ControlFLASH PLUS™ software when upgrading extended temperature or conformal coated modules. For example, select the 1756-EN2TR when upgrading a 1756-EN2TRXT module. Extended temperature and conformal coated modules use the same Redundancy module ControlFLASH PLUS kit.

Controller Restrictions in Redundancy Systems with Revision 35.013_kit2

Known Restrictions as of ControlLogix® Redundancy Revision 35.013_kit2

This revision supports the following: ControlLogix 5580 controllers, 1756-RM2, 1756-RM2K, and 1756-RM2XT modules.

1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TK, 1756-EN2TR, 1756-EN2TXT, 1756-EN2F, 1756-EN2FK, 1756-EN2TP, 1756-EN2TPK, 1756-EN2TPXT:

The 1756-EN2x communication modules do not support bumpless I/O on switchover with Immediate Output (IOT) instructions. Because these modules do not support bumpless I/O on switchover with the IOT instruction, they cannot override the RPI in a remote chassis and immediately send new data over the EtherNet/IP network.


1756-EN4TR, 1756-EN4TRK, 1756-EN4TRXT:

The 1756-EN4TR modules with firmware revision 4.001 or later support CIP Security for program upload/download/monitoring (not I/O) when the modules are paired with redundant ControlLogix 5580 controllers in the redundant chassis pair. The ControlLogix 5580 controllers must be at firmware revision 34.011 or later, and the 1756-EN4TR pair must be configured for non-IP address swapping.


The 1756-EN4TR modules are also supported in a remote rack as a standard adapter or in a redundant adapter architecture.


ControlLogix 5580 redundancy-enabled controllers, 1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TK, 1756-EN2TR, 1756-EN2TRK, 1756-EN2TRXT, 1756-EN2TXT, 1756-EN2F, 1756-EN2FK, 1756-EN2TP, 1756-EN2TPK, 1756-EN2TPXT, 1756-EN4TR, 1756-EN4TRK, 1756-EN4TRXT:

A redundant controller project cannot contain consumed Unicast connections. The project can contain produced Unicast tags that are consumed by remote consumers.

CIP Sync Technology Included in Redundant Systems:

1 - There are differences between CIP Sync technology in non-redundant systems and redundancy systems.

2 - IMPORTANT: Before you use this enhancement in a redundancy system, see these publications for a full understanding of CIP Sync technology in any system:

- ControlLogix 5580 Redundant Controller User Manual, publication 1756-UM015

- Integrated Architecture® and CIP Sync Configuration Application Technique, publication IA-AT003

Consider the following when you use CIP Sync technology in a redundancy system:

1 - If you enable CIP Sync Time Synchronization in the controllers in a redundant chassis pair, you must also enable Time Synchronization in the EtherNet/IP communication modules in the redundant chassis pair so all devices have one path to the Grandmaster.


2 - If time synchronization is enabled in any controller in the primary chassis of a disqualified Redundant Chassis Pair, and no EtherNet/IP communication modules in the primary chassis have time synchronization enabled, the redundant chassis pair attempts to qualify. However, in these application conditions, the attempt to qualify fails.


3 - While CIP Sync technology can handle multiple paths between master and slave clocks, it resolves mastership most effectively if you configure the redundant paths so that Time Synchronization is enabled in only the minimum required number of EtherNet/IP communication modules.

For example, if your redundant chassis pair has three 1756-EN2T communication modules and all are connected to the same network, enable Time Synchronization in only one of the modules.


4 - If the primary controller is the Grandmaster, the redundancy system automatically manages the CIP Sync clock attributes so that the controller in the primary chassis is always set to be the Grandmaster instead of the secondary controller. This clock management makes sure that a change to a new Grandmaster when the redundancy system switches over.


When a switchover occurs, these events take place:

- The Grandmaster status transfers from the original primary controller to the new primary controller. This transfer can take longer to complete than if Grandmaster status was transferred between devices in a non-redundant system.

- The synchronization of the redundancy system can take longer when you use CIP Sync technology.


ControlLogix 5580 controllers

You can have only one controller in each chassis in a redundant chassis pair.


The embedded EtherNet port is disabled when the controller is enabled for redundancy.


Do not use Match Project to Controller property with redundant controllers. If you use the Match Project to Controller property available in the Advanced tab of the Controller Properties dialog box, you cannot go online with, download to, or upload from the new primary controller after a switchover. This is because the serial number of the new primary controller is not the same as the serial number of the old primary controller and the project cannot be matched to the new primary controller.


The Firmware Supervisor feature is not supported in a redundant system.


You cannot use event tasks in a ControlLogix redundancy system. When you enable redundancy, you must change event tasks to nonevent tasks or delete them from your project.


You cannot use Motion in ControlLogix redundancy systems. A remote controller can contain motion instructions even if it is on the same network as a redundancy system.


Under some error conditions, often configuration related, the 1756-RM2 module continually attempts to requalify the system while the error prevents it from being successful. This causes the redundancy module error log to fill with the same error condition. If the system is in this condition, the redundancy module display cycles between QFNG and DISQ. To stop this from happening, change the redundancy module synchronization trigger in the Redundancy Module Configuration Tool (RMCT) to Never, until the error condition is corrected.


The MinDurationACC alarm tag member value does not update, and it stays at a 0 value. This change does not affect the MinDuration calculations.


1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TK, 1756-EN2TR, 1756-EN2TRK, 1756-EN2TRXT, 1756-EN2TXT, 1756-EN2F, 1756-EN2FK, 1756-EN2TP, 1756-EN2TPK, 1756-EN2TPXT:

The System Event History displays a `Module Failure’ entry when you insert a 1756-EN2x communication module in the chassis while the redundant chassis pair is synchronized. This is not indicative of any module failure; instead, it indicates that only a communication module was inserted in the chassis.

A timing anomaly exists within the device which results in an assert/major non-recoverable fault (MNRF). The program and hardware configuration does not influence the likelihood of occurrence.

The probability of this anomaly occurring is extremely low. Historically, if a module experiences this assert, it only occurs one time.

An escalation to Rockwell Automation Technical Support is required to confirm the root cause of an assert/major non-recoverable fault.

The SD status indicator flashes and decreases SD card performance when I/O connection errors exist. The impact on SD card performance is directly related to the number of I/O connection errors present at that time.

In a Socket Read Message, when reading an empty TCP Ethernet Buffer (buffer length of 0), the expectation is that a 12 byte header will be returned for the Socket Read Message’s .DN_LEN ([MessageTag].DN_LEN=12).

Instead, 0 bytes are returned by the message ([MessageTag].DN_LEN=0).

This anomaly affects the Rockwell Automation® Sample Code Add-On Instructions and Applications. For more information and a workaround for this anomaly, see the Knowledgebase Technote Socket functionality may not behave as expected in specific Logix controllers at version 35.011 and 1756-EN4TR version 5.001.

Inhibiting the Axis and then the associated Drive with SSV instructions (in that order) can cause the controller to experience a major non-recoverable fault (MNRF).

Workaround: Inhibit the Drive, then inhibit the Axis (in that order). The order of uninhibiting the axis and drive does not matter.

PlantPAx instructions for end devices (PVLV, PVSD, PMTR, etc) will deactivate all outputs when put in put into virtual mode (Sts_Virtual = 1). PDOSE operates differently in virtual mode. PDOSE will virtualize the flow and quantity inputs and operate outputs to that control end devices.

The PDOSE instruction has a filtering feature that is used when rate PV (Inp_RatePV) is null in the instruction instantiation. When Inp_RatePV is null, the rate is calculated by differentiating the quantity PV (Inp_QtyPV) and then filtered to get a final calculated value for Val_RatePV. The filter calculation is incorrect, causing unexpected values for Val_RatePV.

The PDOSE instruction has several enumerated “keep” configurations (Cfg_eKeepStart, Cfg_eKeepSP, Cfg_eKeepTol, Cfg_eKeepDribblePreact). This configuration allows a command source to keep ownership of the setting when that command source is not selected. There are areas of the instruction logic where the “keep” configuration settings are ignored and the logic is looking directly at the active command source. This causes unexpected command and settings operations in the instruction.

Standard I/O forces will not be correctly displayed on the new primary after a locked switchover during a redundancy system update if all the following conditions are met:

• A force is enabled with global forces enabled on the old primary controller.
• The user selects “No” when prompted by Logix Designer to enable forces when downloading to the new primary controller.

The I/O point will appear forced in Logix Designer, Global Forces will be enabled, and the LED indicates forces are present (solid amber) but the actual value of the I/O point will not reflect the force.

To recover: Disable and re-enable global forces on the new primary controller.

A controller assert can occur when a Motion Axis Stop (MAS) instruction is executed on the same axis that is concurrently executing an S-Curve Motion Axis Jog (MAJ) instruction.

Work arounds to consider:

• Change the MAJ profile from S-Curve to Trapezoidal.
or
• Add a condition to prevent MAS on an axis where MAJ with S-Curve profile is in progress; this would involve the axis .IP bit.

When reading or viewing the WCT (WallClockTime) of the controller, the year can show a value of 586XXX (where the XXX is any values). This means that the wallclock value is outside the valid range for EPoch time.

The range of the WCT has been tightened in the controller to 1/1/1970 00:00:00.000...12/31/2069 23:59:59.999. If the controller tries to handle a value outside the defined range, the controller does not apply the new value. It now logs a minor fault, Type 13 Code 21. The fault displays an unknown fault in the RSLogix 5000® software.

graphic

When the fault is logged, the WCT of the controller is set to 1/1/19XX 00:00:00.000, where XX is 81...86. The year corresponds to the Info[0] value for the minor fault.

SCARA 4D Coupled: Moving J6 Axis on Target Side Causes Motion on J6 and J3 Axes (00229999)


Known Anomaly First Identified as of Firmware Revision 32.012

Catalog Numbers:


In some SCARA 4D coupled robots, there is a mechanical coupling between Joint 3 and Joint 6 axes, due to a ball screw mechanism. The Z and Rz axes are decoupled in firmware, so that you will not notice Z movement due to rotation on Rz when you make a move on the source coordinate system.

If you try to make a move on J6 in the target coordinate system, you will notice movement in J3 due to rotation of J6. You must decouple the J3 and J6 axes in your application code to cancel movement on J3 when J6 is moved.


Removing Security Policy Can Result in Lost Access to The Controller (00233531)

Known Anomaly First Identified as of Firmware Revision 33.011

Catalog Numbers: ControlLogix® 5580 Controllers, ControlLogix 5580 Process Controllers

If you remove a security policy from the controller in FactoryTalk® Policy Manager, version 1.0.0 and then try to download a project with Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application, the download fails.

You also cannot change the controller's IP address with FactoryTalk Linx or RSLinx® software.

To resolve the anomaly, reset the controller to the factory default state.

If you update the 1756-RM2 module to revision 20.030 or later while concurrently updating 1756-ENx communication modules to revision 5.008 or 5.028, the 1756-RM2 firmware update fails. The 1756-RM2 displays "ERAS" and/or "E813 Comm Error".

To work around this issue, do not select the 1756-RM2 module along with 1756-ENx revision 5.0xx modules for concurrent updates.

If you do experience a 1756-RM2 firmware update failure:

  1. Power cycle the 1756-RM2 to clear the fault (E813).
  2. After other concurrent updates are completed, relaunch ControlFLASH Plus® and update the 1756-RM2 module.

When you use a Motion Calculate Transform Position with Orientation (MCTPO) instruction in multiple tasks simultaneously, the MCTPO reports an incorrect transform position.

To work around this anomaly, place a User Interrupt Disable (UID) instruction before each MCTPO instruction in each task, then place a User Interrupt Enable (UIE) instruction after each MCTPO operation in each task. If all the MCTPO instructions are used in only one task, no change needs to be made.

When an I/O device is owned by the controller, if you make an online change with either the module properties dialog or a MSG instruction with a “Module Reconfigure” message type, the controller can MNRF/assert.

There is a higher probability for this anomaly to occur when there are many unconnected I/O devices in the I/O tree.

We recommend that you inhibit devices in the I/O tree that are not powered or do not exist on the network. If possible, inhibit the device while offline with the controller and then download the application to the controller.

This anomaly does not impact all I/O devices:

• Common I/O devices include: 1718 Ex I/O, 1719 Ex I/O, ArmorBlock® I/O, Compact 5000® I/O, FLEX 5000® I/O, Armor™ PowerFlex® Drives, E300™ Electronic Overload Relays, Dynamix™ 1444 Series modules.

• For all impacted I/O devices, see Knowledgebase Technote Determining the I/O Devices that Utilize an EDS AOP

Workaround:

Inhibit the I/O connection to the device while online before you start any reconfiguration. Once you complete the reconfiguration, then uninhibit the I/O connection.

A string length (.LEN) of a number greater than 65535, or negative value, used in application code can cause the controller to experience a Major Non-Recoverable Fault (MNRF)/Assert.

This anomaly has been addressed in multiple versions of controller firmware. If upgrading to or within V33, V34, or V35, the following steps must be performed:
  1. Upgrade the controller’s firmware.
  2. Install the latest release of software associated with the major revision of firmware.
  3. Open the project file and perform a compact and delete of cache.
    1. Go to FileCompact
    2. When the Compact Project File dialog appears, make sure the Delete cached build data checkbox is checked.

  1. Download the project to the controller.
After upgrading to a fixed release, if a large or negative string length is present in the application, the controller will produce a Major Fault Type 04 Code 51, LEN value outside of DATA limit, pointing to the location of the string length value causing the error.

A controller assert can occur when the cartesian coordinate position before the start of a Motion Coordinated Linear Move (MCLM) instruction is the same as the destination cartesian coordinate position in MCLM instruction:

And
• The moving direction of the leader DOES NOT match the MCLM lock direction.
• The leader is moving negatively and MCLM is set to immediate forward.

Or
• The leader is moving positively and MCLM is set to immediate reverse.

This release has the following application notes.

New Firmware Updates Can Impact the Performance of Message Rate Capacity HMI/MSG (Class 3) Data

Each new major revision of the controller/communication module firmware provides additional features and functionality, but this consumes additional processing power from the module even if the features are not utilized. This manifests as degrading HMI/messaging performance for the respective module.

Despite this degradation, the specifications defined for the respective modules have been maintained:

Writing to the Equipment Phase External Request (PXRQ) instruction control\backing tag needs to be conditioned with a set .PC bit of the control\backing tag or the controller can MNRF/assert.

Note: Writing to the .PC item of the PXRQ control tag structure is expressly prohibited.
Only the phase engine in the controller firmware should change the value of the .PC item.
