3 Downloading the firmware
To begin installation of the Allen-Bradley driver, create a folder on the hard drive. The
preferred location for the folder is at C:\DeltaV\Ctl\ProgSerial\AllenBradley, although any
location will work.
Next, copy the eight files from the diskette provided. Those files are:
1200.idf
IO_Compatibility.csv
AllenBradleyApp.sdf
AllenBradleyApp.hex
SerBoot.hex
SerReleaseApp.hex
StandardModbusApp.sdf
Ab-manual.pdf
Once the files have been copied to the appropriate folder, the process of downloading the
driver can begin:
1. Start the “Controller Upgrade Utility” from the DeltaV/Installation menu
2. Select “Upgrade I/O Modules” and engage the “Next” button
3. From the controller list select the controller to which the serial card is attached and
enter the “Next” button
4. Find the list of I/O cards connected to the selected controller. At the bottom of the
screen there is an upgrade file path displayed. Enter the “Browse” button and browse
to the directory containing the Allen-Bradley driver. This should be
C:\DeltaV\Ctl\ProgSerial\AllenBradley. Engage the “OK” button to return to the I/O card
selection screen
5. Select the Serial Card or Prog Serial Card to be upgraded
6. If the user chooses a standard Serial Card to be upgraded then the card will
automatically be upgraded as soon as the “Next” button is entered. If the user chooses
a Prog Serial Card, the user will be prompted for the SDF file to use. Browse to and
select the proper SDF file. Press the “Open” button followed the “Next” button to start
the upgrade process
7. The Flash Upgrade process should start and the progress will be displayed in the
progress window. An upgrade complete message will be displayed upon completion of
the upgrade.
8. If a standard Serial Card was used for this installation, delete the Serial Card in DeltaV
Explorer and Auto-sense the new Prog Serial Card. Installing a special driver changes
the card from a standard Serial Card to a Prog Serial Card.
