Update the Controller
The controller ships without firmware. Controller firmware is packaged with the Studio 5000
environment. In addition, controller firmware is also available for download from the Rockwell
Automation Technical Support website at:
You can upgrade your firmware by using either ControlFLASH™ software or by using the
AutoFlash feature of the Logix Designer application.
Use ControlFLASH Software to Update Firmware
The safety partner updates automatically when the primary controller is updated.
1. Verify that the appropriate network connection is made and the network driver has been
configured in RSLinx software.
2. Start ControlFLASH software.
3. Click Next.
4. Select the catalog number of the controller and click Next.
5. Expand the network until you see the controller.
6. Select the controller and click Next.
7. Select the revision level to which you want to update the controller and click Next.
8. To start the update of the controller, click Finish and then click Yes.
After the controller is updated, the status dialog box displays ‘Update complete’.
9. Click OK.
10. Close ControlFLASH software.
IMPORTANT
If the SD card is locked and the stored project’s Load Image option is set to On Power Up, the
controller firmware is not updated as a result of these steps. Any previously-stored firmware
and projects are loaded instead.
IMPORTANT
Allow the firmware update to fully complete before cycling power or otherwise
interrupting the upgrade. If the ControlFLASH update of the controller is
interrupted, the controller reverts to boot firmware, that is firmware revision 1.xxx
and you will need to repeat the update process.
