Updating Expansion Module
Firmware
The firmware for 1444 Series expansion modules is updated via its host
module. When necessary, a unique firmware update for the main module is
provided. The update includes the expansion module firmware. The update
name that is shown in ControlFLASH identify these updates, which follow
this nomenclature:
<Main Module FW> + “(“+ <Expansion Module Type> + <Expansion
Module Firmware> + “)”
Figure 93
is an example of the firmware update.
Figure 93 - Firmware Update Example
Before updating the expansion module firmware, make sure that the host
module is at a firmware revision that is equal to or greater than the version
indicated. For example, in Figure 93
the host module of the tachometer signal
conditioner must be at firmware revision 2.002, or greater.
If the host module firmware is not at or greater than the stated version, it is
possible that the update does not execute successfully. And even if the update
executes properly, a ControlFLASH error can be presented. In all cases after
the update is complete, verify the expansion module firmware revision by using
the AOP (Status page) or by querying the device using RSNetWorx™ for
EtherNet/IP.
