Chapter 4: Making programming chips
This chapter should be used only if you have a new PLC and/or display that has not been
programmed from the factory (new from Allen Bradley). You will need to have acquired a set of
programming chips from ACS service or engineering before proceeding. You may also inquire to
have the image for these chips emailed to you. This will allow you to purchase chips and a
compact flash burner locally.
Step 1: Creating the chips
If you are creating chips you will first need to acquire 3 compact flash chips
from either Allen Bradley or ones that Allen Bradley supports (refer to AB
support for more details if not buying from ACS).
• 1 compact flash card for the DISPLAY FIRMWARE CARD
• 1 compact flash card for the DISPLAY PROGRAM CARD
• 1 compact flash card for the PLC PROGRAM CARD
Download the image and then copy the appropriate image to each chip. To assist with some
confusion that sometimes happens when making these from an image below are details for each
card on what you should see when you “double click” on the icon for the chip under “My
Computer” in Windows:
• DISPLAY FIRMWARE CARD:
• DISPLAY PROGRAM CARD:
• PLC PROGRAM CARD:
After you have copied the images to each of the 3 chips then you are ready to program the PLC
and Display.
