Updating the Option

Module Firmware

The option module firmware can be updated over the network or serially through
a direct connection from a computer to the drive using a 1203-USB or 1203-SSS
serial converter.

When updating firmware over the network, you can use the Allen-Bradley
ControlFLASH software tool, the built-in update capability of DriveExplorer
Lite or Full software, or the built-in update capability of DriveExecutive software.

When updating firmware through a direct serial connection from a computer to a
drive, you can use the same Allen-Bradley software tools described above, or you
can use HyperTerminal software set to the X-modem protocol.
