Upgrading firmware for the Kinetix 6000M system is done by using
ControlFLASH software. The procedure for upgrading the IDM units uses the
sercos interface, similar to axis modules. However, upgrading firmware on the
IPIM module is accomplished over the EtherNet/IP network.
You need the following software and information before you begin.
