Hello,
Have the two above controllers both on v 20.13/20.15 respectively. Both have 1756 ENBT/A v.4.011 modules in chassis.
I also have two 2711 Panelview Plus 1000 HMI's v.9.00
I have been asked to look into upgrading firmware to v 30.011. Simply for standardization as most of our other newer controllers are that or higher.
Based off all the horror stories on here, and a whole lot of condsideration Rockwell literature to wade through I figured I'd ask here to see if it's even worth the bother.
Two belt press processes here. Nothing real complex. Just some messaging between the two contrologix and a SLC 5/05. No motion controll modules or anything like that.
I understand I can step the firmware back, but these processed run 24/7. I'd like to avoid any extended downtime if possible.
My concern is really only if something would be out of whack post flash, with the enet modules, or the panelviews? Would they need to be flashed to a different version too?
Any insight/recommendations from anyone is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
