Adapter Firmware Updates
EtherNet/IP adapters are manufactured with firmware installed. If updated firmware
revisions are available in the future, you can update the firmware.
Firmware information for adapters 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 adapter 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 adapter 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 peform the following operations:
- Firmware update progress
- Module connection request
- Adapter reset request
WARNING:
When you update the PointMax EtherNet/IP
adapter, the I/O modules in its chassis may reset and be unable to maintain their
Program Mode or Inhibit states. Verify that all equipment controlled by the modules
in this chassis are in a stopped state and that all safety critical functions are
not affected.
