I have a Logix 5563 Controller, 1756-L63 B
I'm trying to upgrade the firmware via DF1 (i don't have ethernet) and it takes a long time and keeps crapping out.
I've read some things that indicate I might be able to download the newest firmware, put the firmware files on a Compact Flash card then boot the controller and do my firmware upgrade that way. Any ideas on how to do this ? What are the files ? Do they need to be in the root or in a certain folder ?
 
L63 can be flashed from CF card, but FW files can be written to this card by controller only.
PC can't write these files.
