Loading Controller
Firmware

De-energizing the Drive to Connect or Disconnect a Cable

During the process of loading controller firmware you will need to connect
or disconnect a programming or network cable at the controller. You should
do this only if the drive is de-energized.

1. Turn off and lock out input power. Wait five minutes.

2. Verify that there is no voltage at the drive’s input power terminals.

3. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & -DC terminals on the Power

Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.

4. Connect or disconnect the programming or network cable.

5. Turn power back on and proceed with loading firmware.

Loading Firmware

The controller ships with working firmware. You may decide to upgrade the
firmware. To load firmware, you can use:

• ControlFlash utility that ships with RSLogix 5000 programming

software.

• AutoFlash that launches through RSLogix 5000 software when you

download a project to a controller that does not have the current
firmware.

• a 1784-CF64 CompactFlash card with valid memory already loaded.

The firmware is available with RSLogix 5000 software or you can
download it from the support website:

1. Go to: http://support.rockwellautomation.com/

2. In the left column (frame), select “Firmware Updates” under “Technical

Support.”

3. Select the desired firmware revision.

The download process will require you to enter the serial number of your
RSLogix 5000 programming software.

If you load (flash) controller firmware via the ControlFlash or AutoFlash
utilities, you need a serial or EtherNet/IP connection to the controller.
Flashing via an EtherNet/IP connection is faster than the serial connection.

!

ATTENTION: Severe injury or death can result from electrical
shock or burn. Verify that the voltage on the bus capacitors has
discharged before connecting to the communication ports.
Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & -DC terminals on the
Power Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.
