1. Preface Preface Purpose of This Manual This manual describes how to use the ControlFLASH software to upgrade device firmware What s New in ControlFLASH ControlFLASH v12 00 00 includes the following new features Software version 12 00 00 ControlFLASH v12 00 00 supports flashing PanelView 5000 using Large Packet also known as connected messaging service If the target device supports connected messaging ControlFlash uses the large packet service If the target device does not support the large packet service ControlFlash uses the standard packet service If the target device does not support connected messaging ControlFlash uses unconnected messaging ControlFLASH v12 00 00 supports updating the firmware for the 1756 L715 controller and its partner module via the controller s USB port and also via an EtherNet module in the backplane ControlFLASH v12 00 00 provides an easier way to determine what firmware releases are installed on your PC by viewing the Firmware Inventory dialog Firmware kit installation is more firmware centric now showing a list of firmware releases to be installed Who Should Use This Manual You should use this manual if you need to maintain firmware revisions The following is a list of hardware that ControlFLASH supports ControlLogix controllers communication digital analog and motion modules CompactLogix controller communication digital analog and motion modules FlexLogix contr2.
