Using a CompactFlash Card to Load Firmware

If you have an existing controller that is already configured and has firmware
loaded, you can store the current controller user program and firmware on
the CompactFlash card and use that card to update other controllers.

1. Use RSLogix 5000 software to store the controller user program and

firmware of a currently configured controller to the CompactFlash
card.

2. From the Controller Properties dialog box, click the Nonvolatile

Memory tab.

3. Click Load Image On Powerup when you save to the card.

4. Remove the card and insert it into a controller that will use the same

firmware and controller user program.

When you apply power to the second controller, the image stored on
the CompactFlash card is loaded into the controller.
