Upgrade Terminal Firmware
over the Network

You can upgrade firmware in a terminal connected to a computer over a direct
network connection. The network connection requires a computer running the
Firmware Upgrade Wizard (FUW) and RSLinx Enterprise software, version 5.0
or later.

RSLinx Enterprise software is required so that you can select the terminal on the
network.

Follow these steps to copy firmware files to the terminal over a network by using RSLinx Enterprise software and Ethernet
communication.

1. Run the Firmware Upgrade Wizard:

In FactoryTalk View Studio software, from the Tools menu, choose Firmware Upgrade Wizard.
Choose Start>Programs>Rockwell

Software>FactoryTalk
View>Tools>ME Firmware Upgrade
Wizard.

2. Click Upgrade firmware on terminal

and click Next.

3. Click Yes to continue.

It is not necessary to back up files
on PanelView Plus 6 terminals.

4. Click Network Connection

(using RSLinx Enterprise) and
click Next.

This is the only valid selection
for PanelView Plus 6 terminals.
