– Description –
An anomaly exists with Studio 5000 V31.00.00. Installation of Studio 5000 V31.00.00 with PowerFlex Drives AOP V5.01 may interfere with Studio 5000 V30 PowerFlex Drive module property operations when “Standard and Safety” connections or “Safety Only” connections are in use. The module configuration dialog will be completely empty, showing only the OK and Cancel buttons, as shown in the following image. “Standard” connections are not affected.
Note – When Studio 5000 V31.00.00 is installed on a computer that also includes prior versions of Studio 5000, operating files of those prior versions may also be updated. These include files that are distributed as part of the PowerFlex Drives AOP. If you subsequently open your Studio 5000 project files in a V30 version of Studio 5000 and set the module properties to “Standard and Safety” or “Safety Only” connections a fatal error may occur.
– Temporary Workarounds –
Until AOP files correcting this anomaly are available, you may revert your Studio 5000 Logix Designer installation back to V30 or earlier. If you require Studio 5000 Logix Designer V31.00.00 for system development, you should install Logix Designer on a separate computer or virtual machine.
Note – Installation of Studio 5000 V31.00.00 on a computer that also contains an installation of Studio 5000 V30 will also update operating files of the V30 installation. This may result in fatal errors as described in the Description section above. When using this temporary workaround make sure the computer with V30 does not have the V5.01 AOP files.
– Correction –
Correction requires updating the PowerFlex Drives AOP to V5.02 or later. There are three methods of obtaining the updated AOP from the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC) at https://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/MultiProductDownload.aspx.
1. Download and install the PowerFlex Drives AOP from the PCDC. In the Search field enter “Drive AOPs”, then select the “Drive AOPs” product. Click the Downloads button and follow the instructions to download and install the PowerFlex Drives AOP V5.02 or later.
2. Download and install Studio 5000 V31.00.01 from the PCDC. In the Search field enter “Studio 5000”, then select the specific Studio 5000 product to download. In the version listing, select version 31.00.01 or later. Click the Downloads button and follow the instructions to download and install the selected Studio 5000 product. Note – Installation and use of Studio 5000 products requires license activation. If you are upgrading from a version of Studio 5000 V30 or prior you may be required to obtain a V31 license and activate your software.
