PRODUCT NOTICE
Notice of Potential Product Concern
Rockwell Automation issues a Product Notice when it identifies a product(s) anomaly that may cause commercial or customer satisfaction concerns.
Logix Designer Ladder Logic Editor Missing All Rungs in a Routine when Online with Correlation after Online Edits are removed in ControlLogix 5580 and CompactLogix 5380
Reference: 2017-10-002 Revision: A
Date: October 2017 Revised: October 2017
Revised October 2017 – The Description section of this document has been revised to further clarify conditions leading to the described anomaly. Please read this revised Product Notice in its entirety.
This Product Notice informs you of an anomaly that exists with the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® ladder logic editor. If online changes are made to a ladder logic routine within a ControlLogix® 5580 or CompactLogix® 5380 controller and those changes are assembled or tested, and subsequently removed, all rungs within the routine may be removed when the Go Online command in Logix Designer is used. The rungs will appear as missing within the Logix Designer editor. Controller projects that have been online edited will continue to operate as expected until the Logix Designer Go Online option is used and a subsequent download of the resulting project file is performed.

– Product Identification –
The affected product is Studio 5000 Logix Designer, all versions v28 and v29, and specific version v30.00. This anomaly will be corrected in versions v30.01 and later, including future release v31. The following Logix Designer products are affected by this anomaly:
9324-RLD700NX-ENE 9324-RLD700NXINT
9324-RLD600ENE 9324-RLD-600INTL
9324-RLD300NX-ENE 9324-RLD300NX-INT
9324-RLD300ENE 9324-RLD-300INTL
9324-RLD250ENE 9324-RLD-250INTL
9324-RLD200ENE 9324-RLD-200INTL
9324-RLD000ENE 9324-RLD-000INTL
Important – This anomaly only affects ladder logic editing for ControlLogix 5580 and CompactLogix 5380 controllers. If you are editing a different controller type you are not affected and no action is required on your part. Rockwell Automation recommends maintaining all product software and firmware at the most current revision levels.
Important – Product hardware is not affected by this anomaly and may not be returned as part of this notification. Corrective action requires the download and installation of corrected software as described in the Correction section of this notification.
– Description –
An anomaly exists with the Studio 5000 Logix Designer ladder logic editor. If online changes are made to a ladder logic routine within a ControlLogix® 5580 or CompactLogix® 5380 controller and those changes are assembled or tested, and subsequently removed, all rungs within the routine may be removed when the Go Online command in Logix Designer is used to initiate the edit. The rungs will appear as missing within the Logix Designer editor. Controller projects that have been online edited will continue to operate as expected until the Logix Designer Go Online option is used and a subsequent download of the resulting project file is performed.
All of the following conditions must be met for this anomaly to occur:
 The routine must have been created using the Logix Designer ladder logic editor.
 Online edits occurred and edits have been assembled or tested.
 Edits made to a ladder routine have been removed through a cancel operation or re-editing the routine to back out changes that have been made such that the resulting routine has not changed.
 Open a file in Studio 5000 that does not have the changes and use the Go Online command to connect to the edited controller, forcing correlation of the online version with the offline version.
If these conditions have been met, when the affected routine is opened in the Logix Designer ladder logic editor, all rungs within that routine will be missing and the number of rungs reported by the Controller Organization within Logix Designer will be zero. If the affected routine is opened an empty rung will be added and project validation will fail. However, if the affected routine is not opened project validation will pass and allow download of the application to the controller with the affected routine now missing all rungs within the controller.

Important – The rungs will appear as missing within the Logix Designer ladder editor, but controller projects that have been online edited will continue to operate as expected within the controller until downloaded.
– Temporary Workarounds –
Until software correcting this anomaly can be downloaded and installed, customers are advised to avoid the use of the Go Online command. Customers are instead advised to use the Upload command in Logix Designer when connecting to a controller.
If this condition has already occurred and you have not downloaded the projects with the missing rungs to the controller, you may upload the original project from the controller to a new Logix Designer project to recover the missing rungs.
If you are not sure if you are affected by this anomaly, you may inspect your project for all ladder logic routines with zero rungs. Within Logix Designer, open the Controller Organizer and view the properties of each ladder logic routine. Those that show “Number of Rungs – 0” may be affected by this anomaly. A person with knowledge of the project should review all zero rung routines to determine if they may be affected by this anomaly.
In the Controller Organizer example shown to the left, the “MainRoutine” routine is of type “Ladder Diagram” and shows “Number of Rungs” to be zero. This routine should be reviewed to determine if it has been affected by this anomaly.
– Correction –
Correction requires download and installation of corrected product software. Product software may be downloaded from the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC).
Important – Product hardware is not affected by this anomaly and may not be returned as part of this notification.
