Hey All,
I want to update my Controllogix L55 but have some questions before I start messing with the firmware. To start off, this is the list of all the modules in my rack.
Processor: 1756-L55/A v11.030
Expansion Memory: 1756-M13/A v(unknown, guessing the same as processor)
Ethernet/IP: 1756-ENBT/A v1.1
Sercos: 1756-M08SE v11.007
Input: 1756-IB32/A v2.007
Output: 1756-OB32/A v2.004
As you can see, I'm currently at v11 and I have the option of updating to versions 15 or 16 (these are the software versions I have). So here are my questions:
Rockwell download site*shows version 16 firmware update as the only option, but the memory expansion shows all versions including 15 and 16. So, would I be correct in assuming that I need to update the L55 processor AND the M13 memory expansion to version 16?
Next question. I recall reading that the Sercos module version needs to match that of the processor. This seems to be true as both my Sercos and processor are versions 11 at the moment. Again, would I be correct in assuming that the Sercos module needs to be updated to version 16 as well?
Lastly, do I need to do anything else with any of the other modules?*I would think the input and output modules are fine where they are but I was a little curious about the Ethernet/IP module.*
Thanks for all the help guys!
