Upgrade or reinstall the firmware of your Historian module

FactoryTalk Historian ME modules' firmware kits are delivered as individual Device Management Kit (DMK) files. They are compatible with:
  • ControlFLASH version 15.08.00
  • ControlFLASH Plus version 6.00.00
The installation of ControlFLASH or ControlFLASH Plus is separate from the firmware kits, and you need to install it only once.
A DMK is a single, digitally signed file that contains the firmware binaries. ControlFLASH authenticates DMK's origin and validates its contents, providing enhanced protection against malicious threats. You can just download and use it, no need to install or unzip it. The file is named for easy identification and management, for example,
1756-HIST2G_7.102 (Install).dmk
.
To flash the module firmware, you must have FactoryTalk Linx or RSLinx Classic installed.
The process consists of the following steps:
  1. Perform this step, if you do not have the recommended version already installed.
  2. Perform this step, if you do not have the recommended version already installed.
