Appendix C Quickstarts
Flash Update the
Micro800 Firmware
This quickstart shows you how to flash update the firmware in a Micro800
controller using ControlFLASH. ControlFLASH is installed or updated with
the latest Micro800 firmware when Connected Components Workbench
software is installed on your computer.
Before attempting to flash update your controller, ensure that the controller is in
Program mode. For more information on enabling program mode, see Access the
Main Menu on page 55.
1. First verify successful RSLinx Classic communications with your
Micro800 controller via USB using RSWho (Micro810 12-pt. uses the
12PtM810_xxxxx driver and the Micro830 controller uses the
AB_VBP-x driver).
IMPORTANT When the controller is in Remote Run mode, and it is password
protected, the user needs to supply the correct password to switch to
Remote Program to enable upgrade.
The Micro810 controller does not include a reset-to-factory-default
button and a mechanical switch to change modes that will override
password protection to allow a flash upgrade.
Thus, it is always important to have the correct passwords available to
switch modes and enable an upgrade.
