System Software Upgrade Procedures 1-3
Saving Current Controller Data (optional)
While not required, we suggest that you use this procedure to update the
ERDB with the most current Controller data before the upgrade. This
procedure assumes that the Control Builder (CB) application is running
and communicating with 1757-PLX52 Controllers in your ProcessLogix
system.
1. If Control Builder isn’t running, start it.
2. Close any open Control Module and/or Sequential Control
Module.
3. For a system with redundant ProcessLogix Servers, be certain that
the databases are synchronized. Refer to Synchronizing ERDB
on Redundant Servers on page 1-63.
4. In Monitoring tab, click the plus sign in the tree root path to the
CPM icon for the controller to display the CEE folder icon.
5. Click the CEE folder icon. Click Tools
⇒
Upload with Contents
and then click Continue to upload the existing controller database.
This may take considerable time to complete, depending on the
amount of CM/SCMs (and their number of FBs and/or number of
Steps/Transitions) currently assigned to this CEE.
6. Click the CEE folder icon. Click Tools
⇒
Update with Contents (to
Project) and then click Continue to save the existing controller
database.
This may take considerable time to complete, depending on the
amount of CM/SCMs (and their number of FBs and/or number of
Steps/Transitions) currently assigned to this CEE.
7. Repeat Step 4 to Step 6 for each controller (CPM icon) in your
system.
8. In preparation for the software upgrade, inactivate the CMs, SCMs,
and IOMs, and put the CEE in its Idle mode.
9. Close Control Builder.
IMPORTANT
If you have redundant Servers, you only need to
perform this procedure on the SERVERB node.
