Appendix C: Updating Firmware Using the Flash Upgrade Process

This procedure covers the steps necessary to upgrade the operating firmware in either an En/Eb/Ei drive or

a FM programming module.

The Flash Upgrade procedure should only be performed when absolutely necessary. There are

compatibility issues that must be considered prior to performing this procedure. Please ensure that the

hardware you are attempting to upgrade is fully compatible with the new firmware before proceeding. If

you are in doubt, contact the Control Techniques Technical Support department before you begin to reduce

the potential for problems. Failure to do so may result in non-operational equipment and downtime for your

machine.

It is important to note that you cannot Flash Upgrade a base drive through a FM module. In order to Flash

Upgrade the base drive, you must remove the FM module first. In some cases, both the base drive and the

FM module will need to be upgraded. In that case, upgrade the base drive first and then the FM module.

It is not advisable to attempt to upgrade more than 1 piece of hardware at a time. Therefore, disconnect any

drive to drive serial cables before proceeding and upgrade only 1 piece of hardware at a time.

Obtaining Firmware Upgrades

The latest revisions of firmware for your drive or FM module may be freely downloaded from our company

website at: www.emersonct.com. The files are located in the “Sales & Support/File Downloads” area.

These files have the file extension .fsh and are organized according to product type.

The firmware flash files are also located on our PowerCD. A PowerCD is included in the box along with all

of our equipment.

Step 1: Launching the Flash Upgrade Tool

In this example, the firmware of a FM-3 module is being upgraded.

Presuming that you have already located/downloaded the appropriate flash file, the first step is to launch

the Flash Upgrade tool. To launch the tool, select “Program Flash” from the “Tools” menu in PowerTools

Pro as shown in Figure 1.
