Use ControlFLASH to Upgrade Your Operating
System
The operating system (OS) firmware can be upgraded through the Ethernet
port of the controller. To download a new operating system, you must have the
ControlFLASH™ Upgrade Kit referred to in ControlFLASH Upgrade Kit User
Manual, publication 1756-UM105
, as newer controller’s operating system (OS)
firmware is prepared in DMK format and requires ControlFLASH version
13.00 or higher.
Prepare for Firmware
Update
Before upgrading the controller operating system, you must:
• Install ControlFLASH software on your personal computer.
• Extract the DMK kit that contains the latest Firmware – for
ControlFLASH version 13.00 or higher only.
• Prepare the controller for updating.
Install ControlFLASH Software
To install ControlFLASH properly, see the Install ControlFLASH section in
ControlFLASH Upgrade Kit User Manual, publication 1756-UM105.
If a ControlFLASH directory does not exist, one is created in your Program
Files directory.
Use DMK Extraction Tool for Firmware Update
