Module Firmware Updates
I/O modules are manufactured with module firmware installed. If updated module firmware
revisions are available in the future, you can update the firmware.
Firmware information for I/O modules is available at the Rockwell Automation Product
Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC). The PCDC is available at: rok.auto/pcdc. At
the PCDC, you can use the module catalog number to check for firmware updates. If the
catalog number is not available, then no updates exist.
IMPORTANT:
Only download firmware and access product release notes from the Rockwell Automation
PCDC. Do not download firmware from non-Rockwell Automation sites.
Verify that the firmware revision of the I/O modules that you use is correct before
commissioning the system. For more information on how to update your module firmware,
see the ControlFLASH Plus® Quick Start Guide, publication CFP-QS001.
When the firmware update is in progress, you cannot perform the following operations:
- Another firmware update request
- Module connection request
- Module reset request
WARNING:
When you update the PointMax EtherNet/IP adapter firmware, the I/O modules in its
chassis may reset and unable to maintain their Program Mode or Inhibit Mode
states. Verify that all equipment controlled by the modules in this chassis is
in a stopped state and that all safety-critical functions are unaffected.
