Load the Controller Firmware
The controller ships without working firmware. You must download the
current firmware before you can use the controller. To load firmware, you can
use:
• ControlFlash utility that ships with RSLogix5000 software.
• AutoFlash that starts through RSLogix5000 software when you try to
download a project and the controller does not have the current
firmware.
• 1784-CF64 CompactFlash card with valid memory already loaded.
The firmware is available with RSLogix 5000 software or you can download it
from the support website by using these steps.
1. Go to http://support.rockwellautomation.com.
2. In the left column (frame), click Technical Support and Firmware
Updates.
3. Select the firmware revision.
The download process requires you to enter the serial number of your
RSLogix 5000 programming software.
If you load (flash) controller firmware via the ControlFlash or AutoFlash
utilities, you need either a serial or ControlNet connection to the controller.
Flashing via a ControlNet connection is faster than the serial connection.
