Issues with Siemens S7 Controller (STEP7) password and security-enabled RSLogix products

If the password in the Siemens S7 Controller (STEP7) is different than the password in the Configuration Data binder, the backup operation cannot complete. To avoid this, when you change the password in your S7 editor, be sure to download it to the controller and check the Configuration Data binder back in.

Scheduled events for Allen-Bradley Logix 5000 and Allen-Bradley PLC-5 Controllers would fail if FactoryTalk Security was enabled for earlier versions of RSLogix 5000 and RSLogix 5. The problem is fixed in RSLogix 5000 versions higher than 16 and for RSLogix 5 version 7.30.10.3 and higher.

This issue does not affect other devices’ schedules (such as robots or Allen-Bradley PanelView devices). If a schedule contains affected controllers and other devices, the scheduled event will only fail for those affected controllers for which FactoryTalk Security is enabled in the programming software; the event will complete for the other devices.
