PNC001 Firmware Updates
Firmware for PNC001-Ax is only compatible with PNC001-Ax hardware. Firmware for PNC001-Bxxx is only
compatible with PNC001-Bxxx hardware. They are not interchangeable.
The RX3i PROFINET Controller firmware is updated via the CPU in the rack in which the PNC001 module is
located. If the CPU is equipped with a serial port, use the WinLoader utility. If the CPU is not equipped with a
serial port, use the http/web-based firmware update method. For detailed instructions, see the firmware
upgrade instructions included in the ZIP file, along with the firmware image file.
The current firmware version of the RX3i PROFINET Controller may be obtained using either the Proficy
Machine Edition programmer (Online Commands->Show Status->Details), or (for PNC001-Ax only) the
Command Line Interface
node
command.
2.10.2
Firmware Updates for Embedded PROFINET
For firmware updates to those CPUs that support embedded PROFINET, refer to the documentation for the
related CPU. Updating the CPU firmware automatically updates the embedded PROFINET component.
