Update the Controller The controllers ship without firmware. Controller firmware is packaged with
RSLogix 5000 programming software. In addition, controller firmware is also
available for download from the Rockwell Automation Technical Support
website at:
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/support/ .
You can upgrade your firmware by using either ControlFLASH™ software, which
is packaged with RSLogix 5000 software or by using the AutoFlash feature of
RSLogix 5000 software.
Using ControlFLASH Software to Update Firmware
With ControlFLASH software, version 8 or later (RSLogix 5000 software,
version 18 or later) software, the safety partner updates automatically, when the
primary controller is updated.
IMPORTANT On 1756-L7xS controllers, if the SD card is locked and the stored project’s Load
Image option is set to On Power Up, the controller firmware is not updated as a
result of these steps. Any previously-stored firmware and projects are loaded
instead.
