Complete Software Tasks Required at CompactLogix 5370 Controller Installation Chapter 5
Load the Controller Firmware
You must download the current firmware before you can use the
CompactLogix 5370 controller.
To load firmware, you can use any of the following:
• ControlFLASH software that installs with Logix Designer application
• AutoFlash that launches through the application when you download a
project and the controller does not have the matching firmware revision
• SD card (catalog numbers 1784-SD1 or 1784-SD2) with an image
stored on the card
If you use the ControlFLASHâ„¢ or AutoFlash utilities, you need an
EtherNet/IP network or USB connection to the controller.
The firmware is available with the application or you can download it from the
support website. Go to http://www.rockwellautomation.com/support.
IMPORTANT Do not interrupt a firmware update while it is in process. Firmware update
interruption can cause the firmware revision of the CompactLogix 5370
controller to revert to its out-of-the-box revision level, that is, 1.xxx.
IMPORTANT The controller firmware revision that is loaded via the ControlFLASH
software or the AutoFlash option can be overwritten after future controller
power cycles if the conditions described in Use the Secure Digital Card to
Load Firmware on page 117 exist.
