How to Add Firmware Revision to ControlFlash for Studio 5000 Upgrade

Question:

Hello everyone, I have been assigned the job of updating our processors to the latest version of Studio 5000, and I have already obtained the DMK file for the specific processor and firmware. However, I am encountering difficulties in adding the firmware to the ControlFlash list for installation. Any assistance on this matter would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Have you placed the .dmk file in the designated ControlFlash location at C:\Users\Public\Documents\Rockwell Automation\Firmware Kits?

Is ControlFLASH limited to version 24.0 or does it also offer ControlFLASH Plus? It appears to be in the right place.

I realize my error and apologize for the confusion. Instead of searching for it under 1769-L3, the correct model is actually GuardLogix 1769-L3. Thank you for your understanding.

Utilize the DMK extraction tool to properly place files in their designated location.

Hi there! It sounds like you're on the right track with the DMK file, but adding firmware to the ControlFlash list can sometimes be tricky. Have you checked if the firmware version is compatible with the ControlFlash version you’re using? Sometimes updating ControlFlash to the latest version can resolve these issues. Additionally, make sure you’re following the proper steps to load the DMK file; it helps to double-check the documentation for any specific requirements. If you're still stuck, consider reaching out to Rockwell's support for guidance. Good luck!
