Replacement Considerations with Safety Applications

GSV of Safety Attributes
The two attributes below generate errors when imported into a Compact
GuardLogix 5380 or GuardLogix 5580 Controller project. These attributes no
longer exist in the Compact GuardLogix 5380 and GuardLogix 5580
Controllers.
SafetySignatureID is changed to SafetySignatureIDLong or
SafetySignatureIDHex in the Compact GuardLogix 5380 and GuardLogix
5580 Controllers.
This example shows the SafetySignature after the import, and what to change
it to.
1. Compact GuardLogix 5370 and GuardLogix 5570 controllers have a
safety attribute called SafetySignature. Since this attribute does not exist
in Compact GuardLogix 5380 and GuardLogix 5580 controllers, this is
how the rung appears after the import.
2. When you change the SafteySignature attribute to the
SafetySignatureDateTime attribute, the rung compiles.
Compact GuardLogix 5370 and GuardLogix 5570 Controllers only
SafetySignatureID (DINT)
32-bit identification number
SafetySignature (String)
ID number plus date and time stamp
Compact GuardLogix 5380 and GuardLogix 5580 Controllers only
SafetySignatureIDLong (SINT [33])
The first byte is the size of the safety signature ID in bytes, and the
remaining 32 bytes contain the content of the 32-byte safety signature ID.
SafetySignatureIDHex (String)
64 character hexadecimal string representation of the safety signature ID.
SafetySignatureDateTime (String)
27 character date time of a safety signature in the format of mm/dd/yyyy,
hh:mm:ss.iii<Am or PM>
