CORRECTED: When an axis is configured for Frequency Control with No Feedback, the motor speed displayed on the drive LCD display is incorrect.
CORRECTED: Under certain network conditions, the drive fails to achieve time synchronization with the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) master, causing the
drive to fail to respond properly to motion commands or to report incorrect PTP statistics.
CORRECTED: The drive fails to enable or respond to motion commands after experiencing a Precharge fault.
CORRECTED: Under unusual network layout and traffic conditions, the drive quits responding during powerup and requires a restart.
CORRECTED: Axis GuardStatus bits are incorrect immediately following start or re-download of the Logix Designer application program.

Cat. No.
Corrected Anomalies
CORRECTED: Current feedback units are incorrect on the Monitor Signals web page.
CORRECTED: Drive reports motor temperature of 0 °C when thermistor wires are broken.
This has been corrected to display 1000 °C when thermistor wires are broken.

CORRECTED: Drive incorrectly attempts to decelerate the motor when a Converter Overtemp FL fault (FLT-S18) or Converter Thermal Overload FL fault
(FLT-S20) occurs.
The drive now does an Immediate Stop (coast).
CORRECTED: When using external shunts, the drive limits shunt utilization more than necessary, resulting in Bus Regulator Thermal Overload faults
(FLT S29 or FLT S30).
CORRECTED: Ethernet statistics values are not getting updated on Port Configuration tab in the Logix Designer application.
CORRECTED: When Requested Packet Interval (RPI) is set to a non-integral number, the drive sends packets to the controller at an incorrect rate.
CORRECTED: The drive generates unexpected motion and produces an Excessive Position Error Fault (FLT-S54) when enabled following a Logix Designer
application download.
CORRECTED: ModuleSyncAlarm not clearing in the Logix Designer application.
