Flashing the Firmware of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is one of the fundamental setup tasks every control engineer must go through. That being said, flashing the firmware is not as straightforward as one might think. You need to know which software to use, which version of firmware to choose, know how to connect to your processor and which procedure to follow.
You are completely responsible for the outcome of flashing your own PLCs. These instructions are provided based on my own procedures and experience. Failure to follow official Allen Bradley guidelines and interrupting the flash procedure during the download may render the PLC unit unusable.
