1747-SDN Module Firmware History
Purpose
This section describes enhancements, corrected anomalies and other 
important information for this revision and previous revisions of the 
1747-SDN module firmware.
Revision 8.002
The 1747-SDN series C module includes these firmware 
enhancements.
• Embedded EDS file - The module contains its own electronic 
data sheet (EDS) file within its firmware. This allows RSNetWorx 
for DeviceNet software, 5.0 or later, to upload and register the 
EDS file directly from the scanner. In previous versions, you had 
to locate the EDS file on a website and manually install it.
• AutoScan - This feature automatically sets up communication 
with the devices on your DeviceNet network. You no longer 
have to use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to map the 
devices into a scanlist.
The 1747-SDN series C module includes all features provided in the 
series B module. 
Revisions 7.005 and 7.006 
Known Anomalies
Firmware revisions 7.005 and 7.006 contain the following known 
anomalies:
• Inability to flash update the module if connections to all slave 
devices are not made. The module displays a 98 error.
• Certain application programs (ladder programs) may cause the 
SLC controller to fault due to exceeded shared memory lock 
time. The SLC controller displays a 57 error. The module does 
not display an error.
• Internal performance changes may cause timing dependant 
applications to fail.
• Saving ADR data may cause the module to fault upon next 
power cycle. The module displays a E9 error. Upon next power 
cycle, the scanlist and configuration data defaults to out of box 
values.
