FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix Software and PowerMonitor Device Maintenance Chapter 10
System Updates and Upgrades
Part of any maintenance program is keeping your software and device firmware up to date. Rockwell Automation regularly
updates software and firmware to include features requested by customers, adapt to a changing software environment, and
resolve issues. As your system grows and your use of it becomes more in depth, you may also need to add meter licenses or
other options.
