Updating the HIM Firmware
or Language

The HIM firmware can be updated over the network or serially through a direct
connection from the drive to the computer using a 1203-USB or 1203-SSS serial
converter.

When updating firmware over the network, you can use the Allen-Bradley
ControlFLASH software tool, the built-in update capability of DriveExplorer
Lite or Full software, or the built-in update capability of DriveExecutive
software.

When updating firmware through a direct serial connection from the drive to the
computer, you can use the same Allen-Bradley software tools described above, or
you can use HyperTerminal software set to the X-modem protocol.
