Upgrade Panelview 550

[Ken Roach]

I was incorrect

I found an RA Knowledgebase article that corrects my understanding of the firmware upgradeability of the oldest PanelView Standard terminals. I was wrong about the Series A being upgradeable past v1.

RA Knowledgebase article BF20371 (access level: TechConnect) addresses the upgradeability of various older terminals succinctly:

Firmware 1.03 --> 1.07
Firmware 2.00 --> 4.20
Firmware 4.41 --> 4.48

If you need a feature that is only available in later firmware, the only option is to replace the terminal or upgrade to a modern platform.

Where did you get the firmware upgrade tool from. Can't find it on the Rockwell site. I have a similar problem. 2711-K5A2 with old firmware. (Otherwise it is new, still got the sticker that says REMOVE AFTER WIRING)

iirc it is on the Panelbuilder32 install CD, or the download thereof. It is not a separate download.
