1747-SDN Firmware update

3 posts in this topic

I have a version 5.01 SDN card and would like to update it to version 6.02 but cannot find the firmware upgrade files on Rockwell's site.  Does anyone have a copy that they can provide or direct me to where I can find it?

Also, is it possible to update the firmware on this card using the pass through devicenet driver as this card is in a chassis with a SLC5/05 CPU which has an ethernet port.

Thanks.

I found RA Knowledgebase Article ID # 461211 that confirms that 1747-SDN firmware is no longer on the download server and must be obtained from a distributor or RA office.

I agree that for a Series B module, you want version 6.002.   It's very stable and hasn't been touched for maybe eight years.

I would be very surprised if you could update the firmware in the 1747-SDN by passing through the module itself;  it's sort of like trying to tickle yourself.   I always did it with a 1770-KFD and a hot cup of coffee that I carried someplace else while I let the upgrade run.

Thanks Ken, the distributor was able to get me version 8.6 but not 6.2.  Do you by any chance have 6.2 that you could provide?
