– Product Identification –
Firmware for the Compact GuardLogix 5370 Controller is affected by this anomaly. Affected firmware versions are 28.011, 28.012, 29.011, 30.011, and 30.012. This firmware is used on product catalog numbers 1769-L30ERMS, 1769-L33ERMS, 1769-L36ERMS, 1769-L33ERMOS, 1769-L36ERMOS, and 1769-L37ERMOS.
Important – Product hardware is not affected by this anomaly. Hardware should not be returned on this Product Notice.
The currently installed firmware may be obtained through the use of Rockwell Automation network and programming tools. Refer to the user manual for your product for additional information.
– Description –
When the Compact GuardLogix 5370 Controller receives a safety packet, the Maximum Observed Network Delay (MOND) diagnostic value is recorded and displayed on the Safety tab of the Module Properties dialog. This value may be used to perform system design and analysis. On affected product, the MOND value is incorrectly calculated and should not be used for system design or analysis.
For more information on the MOND diagnostic refer to the Compact GuardLogix 5370 Controllers User Manual, Rockwell Automation Publication 1769-UM022B, available for download from the Rockwell Automation Literature Library.
