Chapter 5 Complete Software Tasks Required at CompactLogix 5370 Controller Installation
• The firmware update on the embedded I/O module occurs
automatically. No user action is required.
• The update process can take a few minutes to complete.
• During the firmware update process, the OK status indicator on the
controller remains in a flashing red state.
• Do not cycle power to the controller while the firmware update for
embedded I/O module is taking place.
Use AutoFlash to Load Firmware
You can use AutoFlash to load firmware through a USB or EtherNet/IP
network connection.
Let the update complete without interruption. If you interrupt a firmware
update that is in process, you are alerted that an error has occurred. In this case,
cycle power to the controller. The firmware revision level reverts to the 1.xxx
revision level and you can begin the update process again.
Complete these steps to use the AutoFlash utility to load firmware.
1. Make sure that the network connection is made and your network driver
is configured in RSLinx Classic software.
2. Create a controller project.
3. To specify the controller path, click RSWho.
IMPORTANT These steps show a 1769-L36ERM controller. The same steps also apply to all
CompactLogix 5370 controllers with slight variations in screens.
