Determine Required Controller Firmware
The firmware major revision level must match the software major version level.
For example, if the controller firmware revision is 32.011, you must use the
Logix Designer application, version 32.
Obtain Controller Firmware
You can obtain controller firmware in the following ways:
• Firmware is packaged as part of the Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
application installation.
• Download firmware, associated files, and access product release notes
from the PCDC at:
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellautomation/support/
pcdc.page
IMPORTANT The controller must be in Remote Program or Program mode and all major
recoverable faults must be cleared to accept updates.
IMPORTANT The firmware that is packaged with the software installation is the
initial release of the controller firmware. Subsequent firmware
revisions can be released.
We recommend that you check the Product Compatibility and
Download Center (PCDC) to determine if later revisions of the
controller firmware are available. For more information, see the
next bullet.
