This chapter covers some common tasks and quickstart instructions that are
aimed to make you familiar with the Connected Component Workbench
software. The following quickstarts are included:
Flash Upgrade Your
Micro800 Firmware
This quick start will show you how to flash update the firmware for a Micro800
controller using Connected Components Workbench software version 10 or
later.
From Connected Components Workbench software release 10 onwards, there
are two options you can select when flash updating the firmware:
• Upgrade or Downgrade – This option retains the controller’s existing
configuration, Ethernet settings, and password.
• Reset – This option clears the controller’s existing configuration,
Ethernet settings, and password.
The procedure to flash update the controller is similar for both options.
On Micro850 and Micro870 controllers, users can use flash update their
controllers through the Ethernet port, in addition to the USB.

ATTENTION: Retention of the controller’s existing configuration,

from firmware revision 10 to the same or later revision. If updating from
firmware revision 10 to 9 or earlier, or updating to firmware revision 10
from an earlier revision, the controller’s existing configuration, Ethernet
settings, and password will be cleared.
IMPORTANT
If you have forgotten the password for the controller, use the Reset
option to clear the password.
IMPORTANT
To successfully flash update your controller over USB, connect only one
controller to your computer, and do not perform the flash update in a
virtual machine such as VMware.
