Lastest Version OS on Slc500

[cotang]

Hi, newbie here.

Beside contacting an AB rep. How do I find out what is the lastest OS for my SLC 05/04 (16byte version) processor? I want to upgrade it to the lastest one. I checked thier website but I couldn't find it anywhere.... although I don't really know where to look on that site.

Thanks.

Hey thanks. That was quick. By chance you know how much they cost?

Rockwell's big distributor in Calgary is Westburne Electric.

They will be able to give you price and delivery information.

All SLC-5/04 controllers are upgradeable, so you don't have to buy a new controller to get the newest firmware. You just need a firmware upgrade chip, part number 1747-OS401.

Last time I checked, list price was around 150-160 U.S. dollars.
