Feature Description
1756-RM redundancy module
System Event History. A system event history tab is available in the configuration tool and is visible only when
the session is launched against the 1756-RM module. This feature automatically captures
key events occurring in the redundant system that tell why a switchover occurred or why
redundancy was lost.
Certain events also indicate what caused the chassis pair to become synchronized. There
are 10 most recent entries available for viewing. Each entry has a user comment attached
to it that can be used to enter system maintenance information.
For more details, see the online help in the configuration tool.

Feature Description
New entries are added to the event log. The 1756-RM module is able to report any changes in the application firmware revision
and the backplane serial number via entries posted to the event log. This information
helps to tell you when the firmware upgrade took place and whether the chassis location
of the 1756-RM module was changed.

Feature Description
RSLogix 5000 software
Redundancy support for Add-On Instructions. Firmware revision 16.54 provides redundancy support for Add-On Instructions.
Selectable Crossload, limits what programs Firmware revision 16.54 redundancy support adds the ability to limit which programs
can cause a synchronization. cause a synchronization. In many applications this can reduce the overall impact to the
task scan by reducing the number of times a data area is synchronized, as well as
eliminating 1 ms of overhead per synchronization point. However, this could delay the
switchover time because more programs may need to be re-scanned in the new primary
from the last sync point on recover.
The synchronization is performed at the end of the last program in the task's program list,
regardless of its Synchronize Data after Execution selection.

Chassis disqualification. If your secondary chassis becomes disqualified or you manually disqualify it, do
these actions before you try to synchronize the chassis:
• Make sure the synchronization status of the primary modules is full

• Wait at least 15 seconds after the redundant chassis are disqualified before
you try to synchronize them.
