Install the Appropriate EDS Files
If you have RSLinx software, version 2.42 or later, the most current EDS files
were installed with the software. If you are using an earlier version of RSLinx
software, you might need to install EDS files.
You need EDS files for these devices:
• 1769-L32E and 1769-L35E controllers
• 1769 CompactBus
• 1769 local adapter
All of these EDS files, except for the 1769 CompactBus file, are updated for
each firmware revision. There is also a version 1 of the controller EDS file
that you need for new controllers. Each controller ships with revision 1
firmware. To update the firmware, you must have the revision 1 EDS file
(0001000E00410100.eds) installed for the controller.
The EDS files are available on the RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series software
CD. The files are also available at
http://www.ab.com/networks/eds
Load the Controller Firmware
You must download the current firmware before you can use the controller.
To load firmware, you can use any of the following:
• ControlFlash utility that ships with RSLogix 5000 programming
software
• AutoFlash that launches through RSLogix 5000 software when you
download a project and the controller does not have the matching
firmware revision
• CompactFlash card (catalog number 1784-CF64 or 1784-CF128) with
valid memory already loaded
If you use the ControlFlash or AutoFlash utilities, you need a network
connection to the controller.
The firmware is available with RSLogix 5000 software or you can download it
from the support website. Go to
