Updating your controller firmware via ControlFlash or AutoFlash
software requires either a serial or other network connection to the
controller.
Updating via an Ethernet connection is faster, but you must first
install a 1768-ENBT Ethernet module to connect to the controller via
the Ethernet network.
For information on installing, configuring, and operating a
1768-ENBT module, refer to the EtherNet/IP Modules in Logix5000
Control Systems User Manual, publication
ENET-UM001 .
