Example of ConfigMeFirst.txt File for Flash Upgrade
After you have edited the file, insert the microSD card into the controller.
Power cycle the controller and the flash upgrade process will begin. Note that
the SD status LED will not blink when flash upgrading the firmware from the
microSD card is in progress.
When using the ControlFLASH software to downgrading the firmware of a
Micro830 or Micro850 series B controller to firmware revision 10.011, the
program reports an error and fails at the initial stage. However when
upgrading a Micro800 controller using the microSD card with a firmware
revision that is not compatible with the series, the controller hard faults. There
is no error code reported after you have cycled power to the controller. The
controller retains the old firmware.
For a list of firmware and series compatibility, see the release notes for
firmware revision 11.011 or later, on the Product Compatibility and Download
Center (PCDC) at rok.auto/pcdc

Establish Communications
Between RSLinx and a
Micro830/Micro850/
Micro870 Controller
through USB
This quick start shows you how to get RSLinx® RSWho to communicate with a
Micro830, Micro850, or Micro870 controller through USB. Micro830,
Micro850, and Micro870 controllers use the AB_VBP-x driver.
RSLinx Classic is installed as part of the Connected Components Workbench
software installation process. The minimum version of RSLinx Classic with full
Micro800 controller support is 2.57, build 15 (released March 2011).
