Rockwell Automation 7000 DPI Wireless Interface Module - Manual (Page 63)

Appendix
C
Wireless Flash Updating DPI Devices
Appendix C provides information about using the WIM with compatible
Allen-Bradley software tools through wireless communication to flash
update itself and other DPI devices, such as PowerFlex 7-Class drives
and communication adapters, to take full advantage of new firmware
features as they become available.
Important: Using a hard-wired cable connection is the preferred
method to flash update a device. However, if the application
circumstances dictate that a flash update using wireless
communication is necessary, then follow the procedure for
the respective software tool in this appendix.
This wireless flash update procedure uses a PowerFlex 70 drive as the
example device being flashed. When flashing other DPI devices, screens
associated with that device will be different than those shown in this
procedure.
1. Visit the following Allen-Bradley web site to obtain the appropriate
firmware update for the device:
http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate/
At this web site, click on the device to access all of its firmware
updates. Then select Firmware Updates > Application Firmware
Updates (or vx.xxx Flash Kit) > vx.xxx Flash Kit.
2. Click on the appropriate flash kit version to open the File Download
screen ( Figure C.1 ).
