Greetings, I currently have a ControlLogix chassis featuring an L73 v20 processor and an EN2T module with firmware version 10.007. Additionally, there are Flex IO modules connected to the EN2T card along with 2 Devicenet Scanner cards. In my testing environment, I have a different L73 processor with V32 firmware and an EN2T card running on firmware 12.001. I am considering swapping the two sets of equipment and testing if they function properly. According to TechSupport, this switch should be seamless. Have any of you attempted a similar setup before? If so, did you encounter any challenges? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
You shouldn't encounter any difficulties. It's unlikely that any issues will arise. Perhaps consider upgrading to a more recent version, like a revision higher than 32.
Answer: - Yes, it is possible to upgrade both the ControlLogix controller and EN2T module to the specified firmware versions.
Answer: - Typically, upgrading firmware versions should not cause compatibility issues, but it is advisable to test the equipment after the upgrade to ensure proper functionality.
Answer: - It would be helpful to hear from individuals who have attempted a similar setup to understand any challenges they faced during the process.
Answer: - TechSupport should have insights into the compatibility and seamless transition process, but real-world experiences from users can provide valuable information.
