I have a L43 Ver. 15.7 Proccessor
The local rack has 2 ENBT/A REV 1
One ENBT talks to 7 1794-AENT/A REV 1
The other ENBT talks to Wonderware.
I have to add a new 1794-AENT/B.
When discussing the REV/Firmware upgrade requirements for this with the Wonderware management team, they announced that they want to Upgrade to V20.x
So far so good.
Do I need to look into firmware upgrades for the ENBT modules?
Will upgrading my CLX install (presently contains V13,15,16) allow me to see the 1794-IV32 module not presently showing up in a drawdown list for modules to be added to the Flexbus?
If I have a choice, what V20 should I bring this setup up to.
and Last Question
How do I tell which Processor Revision I'm dealing with to pick the correct Firmware upgrade file.

I've managed to avoid having a Tech Connect contract until now, time to drink the Koolaid!

Plenty of support right here
 
I couldn't agree more. What I was referring to was needing to upgrade my CLX software. As far as I can recall I need a contract before that is possible.
Thanks for the info on the rest of it. I seem to recall there are/is some version(s) of V20 that have some serious issues.
