Upgrade Drive Firmware
with ControlFLASH Software
Upgrading axis module firmware by using ControlFLASH software involves
configuring your controller communication, selecting the drive to upgrade, and
upgrading the firmware.
Before You Begin
The firmware revision for software and modules varies, depending on whether
your drive system uses sercos or EtherNet/IP networks.
Table 116 - Kinetix 6200 (sercos interface) System Requirements
Table 117 - Kinetix 6500 (EtherNet/IP network) System Requirements
IMPORTANT If the xx02x-Mxx-S0 (Safe Torque Off) drive firmware contains updated
safety firmware, you must de-energize the safety inputs first or the upgrade
will fail.
