RSLogix 5000 Version 16.03 Enhancements

This release provides all of the new Features provided with Version 16.00 above plus the following:

·Software Activation Key Grace Period: RSLogix

5000 application enters a seven-day activation grace period when a valid
activation is not found.  During this grace period, the following conditions apply:
-Each time that RSLogix 5000 is launched, you will be prompted to confirm entry into the grace period mode before continuing to load the RSLogix 5000 application.
-After you confirm initial prompt at startup, RSLogix 5000 will both log an entry to the FactoryTalk Diagnostic log and launch a confirmation dialog every four hours until a valid activation is found.

-RSLogix
5000 software can be started an unlimited number of times, but if grace period
ends

before
a valid activation has been found, RSLogix 5000 will (when it is started the
next time) inform

you
that grace period has expired, and you will no longer be able to start RSLogix
5000 software.

·CompactLogix Remote Controller Keying – Default electronic keying for CompactLogix remote controllers changed from “Compatible Keying†to Disable Keying†. The keying can also now be edited.

·CompactLogix 1768-L45 Controller Support:  CompactLogix5345

(1768-L45), 3 MB memory capacity for standard logic programming and tags and
can support up to 8 axes of motion.

·Extensions to Configuration Profiles for 1756-IF8H, -OF8H Analog I/O with HART Communications: The profiles for these modules have been enhanced to include a calibration tab similar to that of other 1756 analog I/O modules. In addition, the profiles now allow you to enable HART
communications when the 0mA to 20mA range is selected. Previously, HART communications could only be enabled with the 4mA to 20mA range.

 RSLogix 5000 Software, Version 17.00 Enhancements

·Program and Routine Partial Import/Export

·Runtime Partial Import:  While the system is running, possible to add new components as well as replace existing programs, equipment phases, and routines. New tags and User-Defined Types will be created as needed with values initialized from the import file. Data values of existing tags will
be maintained

·Full Project Import/Export in XML format

·Decorated Data for Import/Export in XML format:  Verbose

format is used to improve user readability of the tag data values in an XML
file.

·Multi-lingual Project Documentation with Language Switching:  Multiple

sets of localized user documentation (rung comments, tag descriptions, text
boxes, etc.) can be managed within a single project. Translated text can be
edited using the RSLogix 5000 application or edited in an exported
Tab
Separated Value (TXT) file.  New pull-down menu allows switching between
various translations of user documentation.

·Runtime Detection of Controller Modifications:  Online

changes to programs and data in a 1756-L6x ControlLogix controller can be
tracked via an internal log with change counters. Log includes type of change
and personal computer identity (Windows login) of user who made change. The

 information,
such as alarms and events, first fault detection, data logging, sequence of
event

operations
(SOE), CIP Motion, and to be sure that the wallclock time on all CIP
Synchronized Time

capable devices in a system are using the same time reference.

·Unicast I/O with EtherNet/IP: For a list of Rockwell Automation EtherNet/IP devices supporting Unicast, see Knowledgebase Technote #66324 (http://www.rockwellautomation.com/knowledgebase/).

·DF1 Radio Modem Broadcast Support: This

capability allows a master (or slave) to broadcast messages to another station
in one message.

·High Integrity Add-On Instructions: A

signature can now be generated for an Add-On Instruction definition based on
content of instruction. Allows youto verify whether code, revision, data
structure, or documentation associated with Add-On Instruction definition has
changed. This signature is
user initiated, but is also accessible
programmatically for auditing purposes. High Integrity Add-On Instructions are
transportable between Logix products without impacting the signature.

·Safety Add-On Instructions: Add-On Instructions available for use within Safety Task of GuardLogix and Compact GuardLogix controllers. Logic within a Safety Add-On Instruction follows same rules that apply to logic in Safety routines, with regard to instructions and tags that are permitted.
Safety Add-On Instructions can be SIL 3 certified and reused without recertification as long as the Safety Add-On Instruction signature is unchanged. Safety Add-On Instructions are included as part of Safety Task signature, providing security over Safety Add-On Instructions within a project

·Maintain the Active Step when Performing SFC Online EditsStep when Performing SFC Online Edits:  When onlline SFC edits are tested or untested, the SFC would be reset to the initia

step and all stored actions would be reset. With version 18 of RSLogix 5000 software,
many SFC

online
edits now no longer result in this reset. In general, only edits that alter the
logic structure of

the chart will require the SFC routine to be reset

·Data Access Control: 2 new tag attributes have been added. The External Access attribute defines how an external application, such as an HMI, historian, or OPC data server, can access a tag – Read/Write, Read Only, or None. The Constant attribute defines how controller logic can access a
tag. Tags with the Constant attribute set cannot be changed programmatically.

·Produce/Consume Tag RPI Limits Checked: Allows

upper and lower limits to be set for produce/consume tag RPI values. Default RPI value can be specified for requested connections that are outside the set RPI range.

·Auto-Hide Tool Windows: New window docking system. This feature enables the ability to lay out the tool windows based on your docking preferences. Select tool windows can now be docked in the RSLogix 5000 main application window, can float on top of the RSLogix 5000 main application
window, or become an auto-hide tool window.

1794-IF4ICF,
1794-ACN15/D, 1794-ACNR15/D

·Add-On Instruction Enhancements: Execution performance has been improved when instruction is scanning false and EnableInFalse routine is not defined or has been disabled. Typically, an approximate factor of 3 improvement achieved.  Default Values in an Add-On definition can be
selectively propagated to all Add-On instances in a project.  Access to Axis, Coordinate System, Motion Group, and Message tag information is available via GSV and SSV instructions within an Add-On Instruction.  The GSV instruction can be used to programmatically retrieve key Add-On
Instruction information, such as Change History, Revision, Vendor, Name, and Signature. 

Language type of Logic routine can be changed without redefining the data definition.  A local tag

can be aliased to an Input or Output parameter.  When Add-On Instruction parameters are added,

moved, or modified, all instances of that Add-On Instruction will automatically be adjusted to keep

operand tags assigned to the same parameters.

·Report Enhancements: Reports can be generated for all components in Controller Organizer, including tasks, programs, equipment phases, routines, and modules. A table of contents included.

·HTML Online Help:  Uses

HTML as display mechanism.  Replaces the WinHelp display mechanism, which is no longer supported by Microsoft Corporation.

·Check for Time Synchronization Mastership Performed at Download

·Tag Filtering Enhancements: Tag display can be restricted to names and/or descriptions containing a user-entered filter string.  A filter capability is available for alias tags.  A filter capability is available for tags that have been mapped between Safety and standard controller tags.

·Tag Name Wrapping in Ladder Editor: New workstation options allow tag names in logic to wrap, to be truncated, or to be right. or left justified

·Editing Tag Descriptions: When

alias tag does not have description, description of its base tag is displayed. Allows description for base tag to be edited directly from alias tag. If base tag also does not have a description and Pass-Through Description Workstation Option is enabled, then
 description of User-Defined Data Type can be edited directly from either alias tag or base tag.

·Watch Pane Quick Watch Enhancements: Quick Watch Lists can contain a user-selected group of tags and can be assigned a name, allowing list to be persistent with RSLogix 5000 project.  ToolTips now provide more detailed information in the Quick Watch Pane, such as tag scope.

·Equipment Phase Monitoring Enhancements: Display shows when logic is associated with a specific phase.  The display shows when a producing or standing-by phase is active on the display.

The equipment list shows a textual indication of the current state of each piece of equipment

without having to open each one individually.  Multiple instances of the display can be opened.

RSLogix 5000 Software, Version 19.01 Enhancements

This release provides all of the new Features provided with Version 19.00 above.

RSLogix 5000 Software, Version 20.00 Enhancements

1.Security Server Validation: Security settings have been moved to a new Security tab on the Controller Properties dialog. The Security Authority box now shows the name of the FactoryTalk Security Authority that is currently being used for authentication and authorization. By checking the “Use only the selected Security
Authority for Authentication and Authorization†checkbox, the project file or the controller containing the project file cannot be accessed by any users unless they are authenticated by this specific FactoryTalk Security Authority. For more information, see the FactoryTalk Security System Configuration Guide,
publication
FTSEC-QS001.

2.Restricted Communications:  There is a new field on the Security tab of the

Controller Properties dialog box that allows for communications to the
Logix5000 controller to be restricted. By checking “Restrict Communications
Except Through Selected Slots†, some software products including RSLinx
software,
RSLogix 5000 software, and ControlFLASH software will only be able to
communicate with the controller by communications cards loaded in the selected
slots. Communication from the controller to other devices (such as, remote I/O
modules or other controllers) are not impacted by this setting. This setting is
useful to
ensure that configuration changes to the controller can only be made
through selected slots. When this setting is enabled, these software products
will not be able to communicate with the controller via the USB port or serial
port located on the front of the controller. This feature is available only for
the 1756 and 1768
families of controllers. For more information, see the
ControlLogix System User Manual, publication 1756-UM001.

·Change Detection: When online with a controller, a 64 bit integer is displayed in the Audit Value text box, located on the Security tab of the Controller Properties dialog box. The Audit Value is a unique value that is generated when a project is downloaded to the controller or loaded from removable storage. This value is
updated when an event occurs. Some events will always cause an Audit Value change, while others are selectable based on the settings of the Detection Specification. By inspecting this value, you can quickly determine if the behavior of a controller has been modified since the last time it was inspected. The Audit Value can
be accessed programmatically via the GSV and MSG instructions, and the Changes to Detect value can be read or written via the GSV, SSV, and MSG instructions. The Change Detection Audit Value is also exposed as a predefined tag by RSLinx Enterprise software for use in HMI displays or other applications.
Additionally, it is included in Controller Log entries. For more information, see the ControlLogix System User Manual, publication 1756-UM001.

·Electronic Data Sheet AOP: This feature allows select devices that have properly configured EDS sheets to integrate directly with Logix without the need for a device profile. This improves the flexibility of the Integrated Architecture by providing a richer integrated experience for more devices.

·Module Discovery in RSLogix 5000 Software: Module Discovery is a new online capability that can browse the backplane or network to find devices to add to the Logix I/O tree (currently not supported in CompactLogix controllers). This feature simplifies the user experience for adding devices to the I/O tree by not
requiring you to know the exact catalog number, slot number, or network address. It presents a list of all devices found on the backplane or remote network, identifies which devices already exist in the project, and provides a Create button for the rest to easily add them to the project. The devices must also support the ability
to be added online.

·QuickConnect – EtherNet/IP Devices: QuickConnect allows EtherNet/IP devices to quickly power up and connect to an EtherNet/IP network. QuickConnect requires a Logix controller with V20 firmware and support in the I/O platform with QuickConnect I/O modules (currently select ArmorBlocks) configured in the
QuickConnect mode

·Unicast Support for Safety I/O: Unicast

became the standard communication format for EtherNet/IP I/O in version 18 of
RSLogix 5000 software. Version 20 of RSLogix 5000 software now allows Logix
controllers to communicate with Safety I/O via unicast.

·GuardLogix Processor Support – 1756-L7xS Controllers: Two new 1756-L7xS ControlLogix controllers are supported in version 20 of RSLogix 5000 software. They are the 1756-L72S and 1756-L73S.

·Large Connections to Socket Instance in 1756-EN2x/1756-EN3TR: Ethernet Sockets allow connectivity with devices that do not support EtherNet/IP (such as printers, scanners, vision systems, etc.). Configuring MSG instructions in RSLogix 5000 software to an Ethernet communication module, programs can use the

RSLogix5000_V10_V20_Enhancement Overview 48.htm[8/29/2016 4:43:01 PM]

 Ethernet socket interface in the Ethernet communication module to communicate with other devices, assuming they have detailed information on how to communicate with the device. The 1756- EWEB and 1768-EWEB Ethernet communication modules supported sockets starting with version 15, with a message data
transfer maximum of 500 bytes and a maximum of 20 socket instances. In version 20, the Ethernet socket interface was added to the 1756-EN2x and 1756-EN3TR along with the ability to create a large connection to the socket instance allowing a message data transfer maximum of 3900 bytes. The 1756-EN2x and 1756-
EN3TR support a maximum of 32 socket instances. The RSLogix 5000 software version 20 message configuration was modified to allow selection of a large connection for the CIP Generic Message type used to interface to the socket instance in the Ethernet communication module. There are four types of socket instances
that can be created in the Ethernet communication module. They are UDP Socket (sending and receiving UDP datagrams), TCP Client (controller via a socket instance in the Ethernet communication module initiates a TCP connection to another device), TCP Server (other devices initiate a TCP connection to the socket
instance in the Ethernet communication module accessed via the controller), and TCP Listen Connection (controller configures socket instance in the Ethernet communication module to listen on a specified port for incoming connections)..

·ControlLogix Processor Support – 1756-L7x Controllers: A new 1756-L7x ControlLogix controller is supported in version 20 of RSLogix 5000 software, the 1756-L71.

·CompactLogix Processor Support: Several new 1769 CompactLogix controllers are supported in version 20 of RSLogix 5000
software. The L1 family of controllers consists of the 1769-L16ER-BB1B,
1769-L18ER-BB1B, and 1769-L18ERM-BB1B. The L2 family of controllers is the
1769-L24ER-QB1B, 1769-L24ER-
QBFC1B, and 1769-L27ERM-QBFC1B. The L3 family of
controllers is the 1769-L30ER, 1769-L30ER-NSE, 1769-L30ERM, 1769-L33ER,
1769-L33ERM, and 1769-L36ERM. For more information, see the CompactLogix System
User Manual, publication 1769-UM0021A.

·Automatic Device Configuration for PowerFlex 755-EENET Drives:  This feature supports the automatic device replacement functionality for drives. This makes it easier to perform quick, efficient drive replacement without requiring any laptop, software, or user intervention aside from wiring in the new drive and setting
a network address. Previously, device configuration data for PowerFlex drives was kept in the ACD file and had to be manually managed via the AOP of the device. Now, when a module is replaced, the controller will automatically send the last known configuration resident in the controller to the replaced PowerFlex 755
and its peripherals. This currently applies to PowerFlex 755-EENET drives, and will be supported by additional drives in the future.

·Master Driven Speed Control (MDSC): Master Driven Speed Control allows time based moves to be driven by position or velocity information instead of time. The external input can be any virtual or physical axis. There are several move types that can now be driven by position: MAM (motion axis move), MAJ (motion
axis jog), MATC (time based CAMing), MCLM (linear interpolation) and MCCM (circular interpolation). Operands were added to these instructions to support the Master Driven Speed Control capability. Additionally, two new instructions were added for Integrated Motion: MDAC for single axis master and slave axis
definition, and MDCC for multiple axis master axis to slave coordinate system definition.

·Interpolated Actual Position Acceleration Compensation: Interpolated axis positions returned by the motion planner when queried now compensate for axis acceleration. This improves the accuracy of the interpolated position by accounting for axis acceleration.

·Kinetix 350 Single Axis EtherNet/IP Servo CIP Drive: Version 20 of RSLogix 5000 software provides support for the 2097-V3xPRx-LM Kinetix 350 EtherNet/IP CIP Motion family of servo drives. The Kinetix 350 drives support axis configuration of position, velocity, and torque loop with motor feedback only. This drive
supports Safe Torque Off capability providing SIL 2 Pld. The family supports 120/240V AC or 480V AC input power models. The drive fully supports Integrated Motion and the Integrated Motion instruction set. It is ideal for the new CompactLogix controller family that supports EtherNet/IP Motion – specifically, the
1769-L18ERM, 1769-L27ERM, 1769-L30ERM, 1769-L33ERM, and 1769-L36ERM controllers. For more information, see the Kinetix 350 Single Axis EtherNet/IP Servo Drive User Manual, publication 2097-UM0002A.

·Finding/Adding Devices to the Logix Tree – Enhancements to the Select Module Type dialog box make it easier to use and find devices. The Select Module Type dialog box now shows all registered devices. It also includes new string and category filters, a wild card search, and a favorites list.
·Enabling Security for RSLogix 5000 Software – Starting with version 20 of RSLogix 5000 software, security is automatically enabled when FactoryTalk Services Platform software is installed. Installation of RSSecurity Emulator software and execution of the SetSecKeys.exe utility are no longer required. Also starting
with version 20 of RSLogix 5000, security permissions are obtained exclusively from the FactoryTalk network directory. Note that RSLogix 5000 software versions 19 and earlier still require installation of RSSecurity Emulator software and execution of the SetSecKeys.exe utility. RSLogix 5000 software versions 19 and
earlier can obtain security permissions from either the Local or Network directory, as configured when RSSecurity Emulator software is installed.
·Safety Signature Deletion in Run Mode Protection – A new checkbox prevents the Safety Signature from being deleted while the controller is in Run Mode.

·Rotation Order Changed for MCT and MCTP Instructions – For the MCT and MCTP Transformation Motion instructions, the Orientation operand specifies the rotation vector for Kinematics transformations. In RSLogix 5000 software version 20, the rotation order has been reversed to apply the order of rotations as
