To resolve this issue, add entries to the signature history of the existing AOI. Then retry the import process.

Unable to upload from a GuardLogix Controller (3870572, 3911842, 4039431)

Uploading from a GuardLogix SIL 2 or SIL 3 controller will result in errors if the application contains safety tags that use standard Add-on Instruction (AOI) datatypes. Mapping standard AOI data into the safety task is a use case for having safety tags of a standard AOI data type.

There are two different upload errors for two different scenarios.

• Scenario #1: The upload is performed with an application that is Safety Signed and/or Safety Locked.
  • In the Logix Designer Error Pane:
    "Error: <Name of AOI> Access Denied - Action not permitted when controller is Safety-locked or has signature."
    "Error: Failed to upload add-on instructions(s)."
  • If no safety signature or safety lock is applied, the upload completes without error.
    Note: It is not recommended to run without a safety signature in a production environment.

• Scenario #2: The upload is being performed with a Standard Edition activation.

  • In the Logix Designer Error Pane:
    "Error: <Name of AOI> Access Denied - This edition of Logix Designer does not permit this action."
    "Error: Failed to upload add-on instructions(s)."
    
  • If uploading with Professional Edition or a GuardLogix Safety Editor activation (9324-RLDGLXE) and Scenario #1 does not apply, the upload completes without error.

If it is not possible to correlate and go online with the controller, a download will have to be performed to reconnect to the controller.

Workaround:

To modify an application to work around this anomaly, use User Defined Datatypes (UDTs) for safety tag mapping instead of Add-on Instructions (AOIs). Editing the application requires a Professional Edition or GuardLogix Safety Editor license. After completing the edits, the Standard Edition can be used for ongoing tasks, if desired.

1. Create a User Defined Datatype (UDT) that matches the structure of the AOI tag.
2. Create standard and safety tags using the UDT datatype.
3. Copy the AOI tag data into the standard UDT tag.
4. Map the standard UDT tag to the corresponding safety UDT tag.
5. Repeat these steps for each AOI that requires safety tag mapping.
6. Remove all safety tags with a standard AOI datatype to ensure the upload succeeds.

This anomaly first identified in version 36.00.

This anomaly corrected in version 36.05, 37.04, and 38.00.

Incorrect Warning Returned when Verifying a Function Block Diagram Routine (5277044)

When verifying a Function Block Diagram routine, where an immediate tag value is input into a Function Block Instruction member of a smaller datatype, the following error is reported:
Using 64-bit input with FBD Blocks having 32 bit backing tag members can produce unexpected result.
This warning appears, even if the FBD instruction member is not a 64-bit data type.
The warning should read as follows:
Using input values outside the range that FBD block members can hold could produce unexpected results.
Immediate values are stored as a 32-bit value by default, so if they are input to any datatype smaller than 32-bit, a warning is expected.

This anomaly first identified in Studio 5000 Logix Designer V37.00.

• 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 30.00 of the Logix Designer application on a 32-bit Windows operating system on which version 23.00 or earlier of the Logix Designer application is installed.
• 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.

The Module Info tab within Module Properties will not return module information when utilizing FactoryTalk Linx

Viewing the Module Info tab of any device in the I/O configuration results in the following error:

Internal direct communications error. Call Technical Support.

This error will occur even when the module is connected and successfully communicating with the controller. The error will only occur when utilizing FactoryTalk Linx as the communication software package for Logix Designer.

This is not an anomaly in Logix Designer.

This anomaly in FactoryTalk Linx was addressed in a Patch Update for FactoryTalk Linx. See technote BF28781 for additional details.
