Utilities - Download CPU Firmware
Firmware in CPU modules can be upgraded to add new features and enhancements.
The firmware version that is running in the CPU module is displayed in the RTU Status window.
Caution! An RTU is cold started after downloading CPU firmware. Firmware can be downloaded to a
remote RTU but it is possible that communications will be lost after the RTU is cold started. Note: the RTU
will remember the configuration settings for its ports as follows;
• PC-1 - Ports 1-8
• CP-11/21 - Ports 1-4
• CP-12 - Ports 1-4
Do not hot swap any module on a connected rack while downloading firmware.
MC Firmware must be downloaded via the first port of any MC module.
Downloading processor firmware or drivers requires a reliable connection to a port that is retained after a
cold start.
Configuration, logic and ladder can be downloaded via any port, including via remote RTUs, providing a
reliable connection exists.

To download firmware to a
