You can download any version of Studio or RSLogix from the Rockwell website. I have many versions of Studio and RSLogix installed on my machine because of this, since I know sometimes bad things happen with firmware updates.
My first thought would be to install Studio v24 and let the PLC stay the same.

I would hesitate to update the firmware initially. It sounds like this is a PLC that has probably been in place for awhile. For instance if you are using SERCOS drives, the SERCOS card's firmware has to match the firmware in the controller. Must i configure my ethernet before i can update my firmware?Ĭheers all and thank you for your help :).Something to keep in mind is that some devices firmware have to match the firmware in the controller. Can i update my firmware using an RS232 port?Ĥ.
How can i configure my ethernet IPv4 address to match my network?ģ. How can i find the ControlFlash firmware releases i need to update my firmware release inventory.Ģ. So far, i figured i needed to update my firmware to resolve this, but maybe i am wrong.?Īny advise on getting over these hurdles would be appreciated.ġ. Is it possible i need to configure my ethernet port first before i can update the firmware? FYI, i attempted this, but most of the ethernetIP details, such as IPv4 address, subnet mask, default gateway was greyed out. I was not able to configure my ethernet port. This brings me back to one of my original problems. It almost seems like i need to configure my ethernet port so that ControlFlash can "see" my PLC. I confirmed through RSLinx that i was communicating with my PLC, but this was using my RS232 port. It was as if controlflash needs to be communicating with my PLC to offer me the updates i need. In fact, it had the exact same firmware release inventory as i had available to me in the ControlFlash 1756. ControlFlash+ also seemed like it did not have the firmware i needed. It was suggested by Max to install ControlFlash+.

I do not know where to find this firmware seeing as the 1769 series is no longer supported by AB, so i cannot download from their website. I could not find the firmware i needed to update my PLC. I honestly do not know if i am still stepping forward with this, or if i have started stepping backwards.Īfter succeeding in installing ControlFlash, i found i did not have much in my firmware release inventory. I have some screenshots of error messages i can upload if anyone is interested. So instead of V16, set to operate in V13? Or can i set my RSLogix5000 to operate in a lower setting. Is there anywhere else i can source this firmware?ĭoes anyone out there have a V16 file you can send me? I believe i am currently running V16.3 in the RSLogix.ĭue to the compactlogix range being retired by AB, i am no longer able to download the firmware from the AB website. The firmware in the PLC is V13, and the RSLogix5000 requires V16 or over. I wrote a quick program using RSLogix5000, just to confirm the ability to communicate and download a routine. I am able to communicate with the PLC successfully using an RS232 cable, (not successful using ethernet, but this subject is for another future thread). I bought the controller second hand from ebay, and have installed some hardware and have started the communication process.
I am a PLC enthusiest and am setting up an AB compactlogix 1769-元5E controller with some relays at home to play with.
