The D25 is factory configured and tested. It contains all software required to
be a fully functional system and upload and download configuration

• If the D25 has performed self-diagnostics and determined that the FLASH
memory is either erased or corrupted
• Other test messages indicate that the FLASH memory has been erased or
corrupted
• After maintenance or replacement work which has deleted the FLASH code files
Use this section as a guide for:
• An overview of the software and software tools you will use
• Information and procedures for maintaining code and configuration files
• How to test the functionality of the inputs and outputs controlled by the D25
Plant I/O
• A discussion of code and configuration files
• How to remove configuration files from memory
• How to install new or replacement code files using a serial connection
