Firmware Changes


Firmware is the software, operating system, and function library that has been programmed into an
EPROM (erasable programmable read-only memory). Should it become necessary to update the
firmware or install a custom firmware in the field, the EPROM will have to be replace. To change the
EPROM:

The Controller contains parts susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge.
Normal precautions should be taken to avoid high static voltages.


ƒ Carefully slide the control board out the front of the chassis.

ƒ Use an Amp 44 pin PLCC extraction tool number 82159-1 to remove the EPROM from the

socket. The EPROM is the 44 pin IC with a label. Refer to Figure 3-25.

ƒ Install the new EPROM. The EPROM is keyed with a notch on one corner. This notch must

be in the same orientation as the notch on the EPROM socket while plugging the EPROM into
the socket.

ƒ Replace the control board.

ƒ Load configuration.
