Upgrade Kinetix 5100 Drive Firmware
This appendix provides procedures for upgrading your Kinetix® 5100
firmware.
The firmware update procedure uses the Ethernet/IP port of the drive. You
must have an Ethernet/IP cable connected to the drive and any active Class 1
connection must be inhibited.
You can upgrade your Kinetix 5100 drive firmware by using either of these two
methods:
• ControlFLASH Plus™ software
• ControlFLASH™ software
To upgrade drive firmware, you must configure a path to your drive, select the
drive module to upgrade, and complete the firmware upgrade procedure.
Before You Begin The firmware revision for software must be as shown for EtherNet/IPâ„¢
networks.
