It's released.
New features
--------------------------------------------
Axis Test Mode for Safety
In this version of the Logix Designer application, Axis Test Mode allows a Logix Motion Application developer to develop and test an application program without controller network connections to a complete set of physical CIP Motion drives, motors, or machine components. Axis Test Mode works in conjunction with FactoryTalk Logix Echo, so you can test application programs on an emulated setup. With a simple change of target, you can expect that same logic to work on the real hardware.
--------------------------------------------
Granular Safety Signatures
In this version of the Logix Designer application, the safety signature is a hierarchy of multiple safety signature elements. For example, the safety task, programs, and routines are examples of safety signature elements. Use imitated safety element signatures during impact analysis to help identify the individual changes within a controller project. It might reduce your certification effort if your validation plan does not require re-validation of unchanged elements. To view all safety signature elements for a project, run the Safety Signature report in the Logix Designer application.
--------------------------------------------
OPC UA
This version of Logix Designer application adds the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) at the controller level. You can configure ControlLogix 5580 and CompactLogix 5380 controllers to work as an OPC server or as a client. Use message instructions to configure OPC UA.
Enhanced features
--------------------------------------------
Multiple Device Interactions
This version of the Logix Designer application allows you to cut, copy, and paste multiple devices. Cut or copy once and paste the devices multiple times. Import and export multiple devices simultaneously.
--------------------------------------------
Motion Indirect Addressing
In this version of the Logix Designer application, you can use ID number reference for the axis or coordinate system parameter in motion instructions. Using ID number references can help simplify your code and improve system performance and memory utilization.
--------------------------------------------
Import all and export all
In this version of the Logix Designer application, you can select Export all and Import all to export and import all of the EDS files, IO-Link IODD files, and HART DD files between workstations.
--------------------------------------------
Additional safety instruction and operator support
In the Logix Designer application version 36.00 you can use these instructions in safety routines on CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, ControlLogix 5580, Compact GuardLogix 5380, and GuardLogix 5580 controllers. All standard operators are now also available in safety routines.
