Upgrading the PowerMonitor
5000 Model and
Communication You can upgrade an M5 model to an M6 model by installing a firmware upgrade
kit. Contact your local Rockwell Automation representative or Allen-Bradley
distributor to purchase an upgrade. You need to provide the catalog and serial
numbers of your existing PowerMonitor 5000 units. The upgrade is furnished
with instructions for installation over the native Ethernet, USB, or optional
communication ports.
You can also add an optional DeviceNet or ControlNet port to a base M5 or M6
model. Contact your local Rockwell Automation representative or Allen-Bradley
distributor to purchase an optional communication port. The port is provided
with installation instructions. No firmware update is required to utilize a newly
installed optional communication port. Following installation, the power
monitor functions identically to a unit with a factory-installed optional port,
except it still identifies itself with its original catalog number for the purpose of
tasks like firmware updates.
Use the ControlFLASH Utility
to Update Firmware You can use the ControlFLASH utility to load firmware via the Ethernet
network.
Make sure the appropriate network connection is made and that a driver for the
network is configured in RSLinx Classic software before starting.
1. Start the ControlFLASH utility.
2. From the Welcome dialog box, click Next.
3. Select the catalog number of the power monitor, and click Next.
4. Expand the network until you see the power monitor.
[If the required network is not shown, configure a driver for the network
in RSLinx Classic software]
5. Select the power monitor, and click OK.
6. Select the revision level to which you want to update the controller, and
click Next.
7. To start the update of the controller, click Finish and Yes.
After the controller is updated, the ControlFLASH utility polls the unit
to determine that it has restarted. After the unit has restarted, the Status
dialog box displays Update complete.
8. Click OK.
IMPORTANT The ControlFLASH utility does not update the firmware if any Class 1
connections (generic or EDS AOP connections) exist. A connection exists if the
Network Status indicator is either solid green (connection active) or blinking
red (connection timed out). Use the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application to
connect to the controller that owns each connection and inhibit the
connection. After successfully updating the power monitor firmware, you can
uninhibit the connections. Note that you can edit connection properties to
reflect the new power monitor firmware revision..
