I am trying to update the firmware of a 1747-SDN Series B that is currently at firmware version 5.01 to version 8.006 which is the only version newer than 5 that I was able to get from my distributor.
I am using a 1770-KFD with the correct cable to an onboard serial port on a PC running Windows XP. RSLinx sees the SDN card. However, when I go through the process of running the controlflash version 7.00.07 that came with the firmware it comes back with the message says "Multiple assemblies found" and it lists 3 1747-SDN scanner modules even though I am connected directly from the 1770-KFD to the scanner card.
Regardless of which one of the 3 I pick, when I press OK and come to the screen where it shows the current revision as being 5.1, under the new revision nothing is listed for me to select from. The ShowAll button does nothing and also if I click on the button next to the current folder to navigate to the folder that has the firmware files in it, it does not list anything.
The 1747-L551 controller is in program mode.
Any ideas? Does anyone have a version 6.02 firmware for this card that they can provide in case the problem is with the version 8.06 that I got from the distributor?
Thanks.
Update: I went through the same procedure with a newer SDN that was at revision 8.5 and on this one revision 8.6 is listed as an option so does that mean one cannot upgrade directly from 5.01 to 8.6 and I need something above 5.01 to get to 8.6? Any help is appreciated.
