However, on the modules listed in this notification, an internal component used in the construction of the module is only rated to operate at a lower specification of 0°C. Therefore, Rockwell Automation can only recommend operation of these modules in an ambient temperature environment of 0°C or higher. Affected modules may halt operation or fail to start at very low temperatures. Important – Other Rockwell Automation products, such as 1756 ControlLogix®, are only rated to operate at ambient temperatures of 0°C or higher. If your 1715 or AADvance modules are operating in a cabinet containing 1756 ControlLogix or other similarly rated equipment, we recommend that you take no action for this particular 1715 or AADvance hardware. – Temporary Workarounds – Customers are advised to take steps to make sure the identified modules are not put into operation or allowed to operate in an environment where the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C. This may include moving the modules to a temperature controlled environment or the installation of heaters within the cabinet containing the modules to make sure the internal cabinet temperature is maintained above 0°C. For AADvance products, the internal temperature of the module may be monitored electronically for values of 1°C or higher. Additional information may be found in the AADvance Configuration Guide, available from the Rockwell Automation Literature Library. For Workbench R1.3x and prior, refer to Rockwell Automation Publication ICSTT-RM405G, April 2015, page 80. For Workbench R2.x and later, refer to Rockwell Automation Publication ICSTT-RM458A, March 2015, page 53. – Correction – Important – If your module is not operated in an environment where the module may be exposed to an ambient temperature below 0°C, you are not affected and no action is required on your part. Correction requires replacement of the module or card.
