Schedules
Based on the capabilities you have purchased, there are three types of schedules, Device
Monitor, Disaster Recovery, and Security Compliance.
Device Monitor
This type of schedule is only available for Logix 5000 Controller assets that support and are configured for change detection. A Device Monitor - Change Detect schedule gets a list of changes from the controller log. It is less detailed than change information from the programming software, but it includes some information that the programming software cannot track, such as changes from program to run mode using the key switch.
When the Device Monitor schedule is active, the device is monitored. When a change is detected, change entries from the controller log are collected into a report. For more information refer to
Logix 5000 Controllers Information and Status Programming Manual
and Create a schedule.Disaster Recovery
This type of schedule ensures quick and accurate file recovery by verifying your devices' program and configuration files against protected master files.
The Disaster Recovery schedule provides these operations:
- Backup: Stores a backup copy of files associated with a device asset.
- Backup and Compare: Retrieves a copy of the files associated with a device asset and compares it to a master version. If there are differences, FactoryTalk AssetCentre Web Client will create a backup copy and send emails with the results.
- Source Code Validation: Detects if a ControlLogix 5580, GuardLogix 5580, CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, or Compact GuardLogix 5380 controller running firmware version 34 and later has been exploited using a vulnerability disclosed in Rockwell Automation Product Notice PN1585 and PN 1586.
Security Compliance
This type of schedule is only available for Allen-Bradley Logix 5000 Controller assets,
only when the browsed asset is a
ControlLogix®
1756, CompactLogix®
1768, CompactLogix 1769, CompactLogix 5069 controller, or FactoryTalk® Logix Echo™
.The Security Compliance schedule monitors security-related configurations of Allen-Bradley
Logix 5000 controllers, enabling quick identification of controllers that do not meet the
desired security configurations. It tracks the security settings and periodically checks
them against the desired states to ensure compliance and help mitigate security risks.
