Upgrading ControlLogix Controller to V32 Firmware and EN2T Module to V12: Testing and Compatibility Issues.

Question:

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.
