Chapter 4 Complete Software Tasks Required at CompactLogix 5370 Controller Installation
• The firmware upgrade on the embedded I/O module occurs automatically.
No user action is required.
• The upgrade process can take a few minutes to complete.
• During the firmware upgrade process, the OK status indicator on the
controller remains in a flashing red state.
• Do not cycle power to the controller while the firmware upgrade for
embedded I/O module is taking place.
Use AutoFlash to Load Firmware
You can use AutoFlash to load firmware through a USB or EtherNet/IP
network connection.
Let the upgrade complete without interruption. If you interrupt a firmware
upgrade that is in process, you are alerted that an error has occurred. In this case,
cycle power to the controller. The firmware revision level reverts to the 1.xxx
revision level and you can begin the upgrade process again.
Complete these steps to use the AutoFlash utility to load firmware.
1. Make sure that the network connection is made and your network driver is
configured in RSLinx Classic software.
2. Create a controller project.
3. Click RSWho to specify the controller path.
These steps show a 1769-L36ERM controller. The same steps also apply to all
CompactLogix 5370 controllers with slight variations in screens.
