Using ControlFLASH to Upgrade Your Operating System Appendix D
2. Ensure that you complete the IP configuration for the OS firmware
upgrade. Note the assigned IP address of the controller.
If the IP address is not configured you can still perform the IP
configuration using Static, BOOTP or DHCP settings. Once the IP
configuration is done, it is used throughout the firmware upgrade process.
If the IP configuration has been done, the IP address may be read from the
processor when online with RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro. In the Channel
Configuration dialog box select the Chan. 1 - System tab or use the LCD.
If BOOTP/DHCP Enable is selected and if the IP Address is 0.0.0.0, then
note the Ethernet Hardware Address which begins with 00:00:BC.
3. The controller should be in Program mode before you start the firmware
upgrade (access the Mode Switch from the LCD).
See Using the Mode Switch on page 86 for information about controller modes
and how to use the Mode Switch.
See Viewing Ethernet Status on page 94 to find how to browse for the controller’s
IP address.
Using ControlFLASH for
Firmware Upgrade
1. Launch the ControlFLASH application under Programs>Flash
Programming Tools.
If the Ethernet connection (IP configuration) has not been established,
attach an Ethernet cable to the controller from your computer (or a hub),
and ensure that the Ethernet connection is intact throughout the upgrade
process.
ATTENTION: Do not interrupt the flash procedure once you have
begun to download the firmware. If the flash procedure is
interrupted, the controller will be in a Missing or Corrupt OS state
on the next power up.
To recover the controller from a missing/corrupt OS state, see Missing
or Corrupt OS state on page 181.
IMPORTANT If you are connecting to the controller through a hub, you can use a
standard Ethernet patch cable.
If you are connecting to the controller directly from your computer, you
need to use an Ethernet crossover cable.
