Install ControlFLASH
Insert the CD-ROM of the ControlFLASH Firmware Upgrade Kit into your CD-ROM drive. The Setup
Wizard appears to guide you through the installation process.
If a ControlFLASH directory does not yet exist, one is created in your Program Files directory.
If an error is encountered during installation, uninstall the previous ControlFLASH firmware
from the computer and try again.
Prior to Running ControlFLASH
For OS501 Series C FRN 9 and later, the SNMP Server must be enabled for the upgrade to occur. The
ability to disable the SNMP Server that was added in Series C FRN 9 and later, requires RSLogix™ 500
version 6.30 or higher.

1. Save the current SLC 5/05 processor prog ram.
The user program is cleared as part of the operating system upgrade
process. You must restore your program after successfully loading the
operating system upgrade.
2. Note the IP address assigned to the SLC 5/05 processor. When updating the processor, use
BOOTP or fixed IP address, not DHCP. The IP address may be read from the processor when you
are online with RSLogix 500 software. In the Channel Configuration dialog box select the Chan. 1
– System tab. If BOOTP Enable is selected and the IP Address is 0.0.0.0, then note the Ethernet
Hardware Address (located on the Ethernet Daug htercard) of the 5/05 processor, which begins
with 00:00:BC).
Refer to the following Rockwell Automation publications for more
information on the Ethernet Communication Protocol:
• SLC 500 Instruction Set Reference Manual, publication 1747-RM001
• SLC 500 Modular Hardware Style User Manual, publication number
1747-UM011
If you are not sure whether an IP address is assigned or cannot determine
what the IP address is, return the 5/05 processor to initial factory
conditions.
Return the SLC 5/05 Processors to Initial Factory Conditions
If you return the processor to the initial factory conditions, the user program and
communication configurations are returned to their default settings.
To return the processor to initial factory conditions.
ATTENTION: Do not remove the processor from the SLC 500 chassis until all power is
removed from the SLC 500 power supply.
1. Remove power from the SLC 500 power supply.
2. Remove the processor from the chassis.
3. Disconnect the battery by removing the battery connector from its socket.
4. Locate the VBB and GND connections on the back of the motherboard.
5. Place a small bladed screwdriver across the VBB and GND connections and hold for 60 seconds.

ATTENTION: Do not interrupt the flash procedure. Once you have begun to download the
firmware for either the daughtercard (step 18) or the motherboard (step 24), the SLC 5/05 is
put into an unrecoverable state if you lose power or communications for any reason.
1. Launch the ControlFLASH application under Programs>Flash Programming Tools.
2. Verify that the J4 jumper of the SLC 5/05 processor being upgraded is set to Protect.
The daughtercard firmware can only be updated when the J4 jumper is set to Protect.

3. Insert the SLC 5/05 processor into an SLC chassis.
4. Attach an Ethernet cable to the processor from your computer (or a hub).
If you are connecting to the SLC 5/05 processor through a hub, you can use a
standard Ethernet patch cable. If you are connecting directly to the SLC 5/05
processor from your computer, you need to use an Ethernet crossover cable.
5. Apply power to the chassis.
6. Verify that the SLC 5/05 processor key switch is in the PROG or REM PROG (RUN LED
indicator not illuminated) mode.
The Welcome to ControlFLASH dialog box appears.
