Appendix

C

Wireless Flash Updating DSI
Peripherals

Appendix C provides information about using the WIM with compatible
Allen-Bradley software tools through wireless communication to flash
update itself and other DSI peripherals, such as PowerFlex 4-Class HIMs
and communication adapters, to take full advantage of new firmware
features as they become available.

Note: You cannot flash update a PowerFlex 4-Class drive using the
WIM. Instead, you must use the AK-U9-FLSH1 PowerFlex 4-Class
Flash Update Kit, which includes the flash module with cable, a
1203-SFC cable, and instructions.

Important: Using a hard-wired cable connection is the preferred

method to flash update a DSI peripheral. 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 22-COMM-D
communication adapter as the example DSI peripheral being flashed.
When flashing other DSI peripherals, 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 DSI peripheral:

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
