Rockwell Automation Publication 1715-UM001J-EN-P - December 2020 53
Chapter 2          Installation Instructions
Module Placement A general overview of a typical redundant I/O system layout is shown here.
IMPORTANT
The 1715-AENTR modules revision I6 contain base code. Both the 
normal and recovery mode firmware must be updated.
1715-AENTR modules newer than revision I6 and all I/O modules 
contain the latest firmware at manufacture time. It may be 
necessary to change the firmware to be compatible with your 
system, or to upgrade to the latest version.
IMPORTANT
See the latest certifications for software and firmware at 
rok.auto/certifications
. See the TÜV website at 
http://www.tuvasi.com
 for SIL 2 certification listings.
IMPORTANT
When updating firmware the 1715 Redundant I/O System is off 
line. It must be in Recovery mode, or there must be no active 
connections.
IMPORTANT
ControlFLASH can be used to update the firmware in the adapter 
module. 
From 1715 revision 3.001 and later, when in Recovery mode, 
ControlFLASH can be used to update the firmware in the I/O 
modules. (This is available in the Adapter Recovery ControlFLASH 
version 1.011 and later.)
IMPORTANT
After upgrading a revision 1.005 1715 chassis to revision 2.001 or 
later, power to the 1715 chassis must be cycled.
