The user can copy the required firmware (which can be downloaded from the ProSoft
website) onto the root directory of the SD Card.

– SD Card – Firmware file
IMPORTANT: The filename of the firmware file must not be changed. The specific module will use only
the firmware that is valid (e.g. the PLX51-PBM will only use the PBM firmware file).
IMPORTANT: If more than one firmware file, with different firmware revisions, of the same product is on
the SD Card it can cause the module to constantly firmware upgrade the module.
If a faulty module is replaced the user can insert the SD Card with the firmware file
on into the new module. While the module is booting it can detect if the firmware on
the new module is different from that on the SD Card. If yes, the firmware will either
be upgraded or downgraded to the firmware revision on the SD Card.
