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.
Trusted T8111C Series B Processor and Communications Module Incompatibilities
Reference: 2019-04-002
Date: April 2019
This Product Notice informs you of a condition that exists with older versions of Trusted™ T8150, T8151B, and T8151C communications modules when used with Trusted T8111C Series B processors. Older versions of the Trusted communications modules are not compatible with Trusted T8111C processors and will stop operating when used in the same system.
PRODUCT NOTICE
Page 2 of 5
– Product Identification –
The affected system configuration is the Trusted T8111C Series B processor when used in systems containing one
or more of the following communications modules:
 Trusted T8150, all H/W revisions.
 Trusted T8151, all H/W revisions.
 Trusted T8151B, H/W revisions A through F only.
 Trusted T8151C / Series A, H/W revisions A through F only.
Important – Each product will operate correctly when used with compatible components. This notification addresses
a compatibility condition when specific products and revisions are used within the same system. Processor modules
are not affected by this anomaly and may not be returned or replaced on this notification.
For installed product, the module identification information may
be found on the product nameplate, located on the side of the
module. The module catalog number will be located in the top
right corner and the H/W revision will be in the H/W Issue field.
In the example shown to the left, the catalog number is
T8151C and the H/W revision is K. Since H/W revision is not
within the affected product range, this example would not be
subject to this notification and is shown here as an example
only.
Note – The format of nameplates has changed over time and
the example shown may not be representative of all formats.
However, the information shown on this example is available
on all nameplate formats.
For product still in the shipping carton, the product
identification information will be shown on the product carton
label. The catalog number will be in the CAT field and the H/W
release letter will be part of the Version string.
In the example shown to the left, the catalog number is
T8151C and the Version string is K11, which represents H/W
revision K. Since H/W revision is not within the affected
product range, this example would not be subject to this
notification and is shown here as an example only.
Note – The format of carton labels has changed over time and
the example shown may not be representative of all formats.
However, the information shown on this example is available
on all nameplate formats.

– Description –
A condition exists with older versions of Trusted™ T8150, T8151B, and T8151C communications modules when used with Trusted T8111C Series B processors. Older versions of the Trusted communications modules are not compatible with Trusted T8111C processors and will stop operating when used in the same system.
– Temporary Workarounds –
No workarounds have been identified. Incompatible communications modules must be replaced as described in the Correction section of this document.
– Correction –
Correction requires replacement of incompatible communication modules with a compatible module. If you have an incompatible combination of T8111C Series B processor and T8150/T8151 communication module, as identified in the Product Identification section of this document, you must replace that communication module with a T8151C Series B or later module.
Contact your local Rockwell Automation Distributor, Sales Office, System Professional, or other place of purchase, to arrange for replacement material. Due to the incompatibility, repair is not available as a correction option. Make sure to reference this Product Notice PN 2019-04-002 when requesting replacement material. Return of non-compatible modules is required to receive credit for replacement modules.
Important – When ordering T8151C / Series B replacement modules, you also need to ensure you have a compatible T8153 connector module. T8151C / Series B is only compatible with T8153 modules H/W revisions G through X. If you are using T8153 H/W revision A through F you will also need to order a replacement T8153 modules for each replacement T8151C / Series B module.
Rockwell Automation will accept requests for replacement product through October 2020. After this date, customers may purchase replacement product at their discretion and cost. Processor modules are not affected by this anomaly and may not be returned or replaced on this notification.
