Connectivity Product Update: New Features and Resolved Issues

New Features:

• Motion Axis Output Cam (MAOC) instruction supports additional devices for scheduling, with up to 16 scheduled outputs.
• Event Task Integration allows embedded input-point terminals to trigger an Event task on change of state (COS).
• Extended Properties can now define additional information about tags or their structures.
• Logix Designer application (version 21 or later) enables specifying Engineering Units and Min/Max Values for numeric tags, as well as state information for Boolean tags.

Enhancements:

• Nothing known

Fixed Bugs:

• The Logix controller owns the configuration in the drive when using the Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) feature.
• Nonrecoverable fault may occur if the controller, using an RSLogix 5000 project, is power cycled while having high memory usage.
• Communication loss occurs with the remote SLC chassis during the second project download when using a 1747-AENTR SLC™ 500 EtherNet/IP Adapter with more than five modules.
• Changes to Buffer Timeout value for FactoryTalk Alarms and Events do not take effect until the existing buffer is deleted.

Open Issues:

• Rare instances of Motion Axis Move (MAM) instruction overshooting its programmed endpoint if merged during deceleration.
• Executing Motion Group Shutdown Reset (MGSR) while Motion Group Shutdown (MGSD) is still executing may result in motion error #7.
• An Excessive Velocity Error (Drive Error S55) occurs when one axis is disabled in a coordinated move with multiple axes on the EtherNet/IP network.
• Position Trim value is added unexpectedly to the axis position on each cycle of Motion Servo Off (MSF) and Motion Servo On (MSO) instructions.
• New Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP network axes defaults Mechanical Brake Delay to 0, causing improper motor operation unless adjusted.
