The option module firmware can be updated over the network through a direct
connection from a computer to the option module Port 1 connector. You can
use ControlFLASH™ or ControlFLASH Plus™ software tools to perform the
update.
To obtain a firmware update for this option module, go to rok.auto/pcdc. This
website contains all firmware update files and associated Release Notes that
describe the following items:

How to update the firmware
To update the option module, the IP Address Selection Jumper must
IMPORTANT
be connected across pins 2 and 3. This can be easily verified by
viewing the value of read-only Device Parameter 04 [Net Addr
Src], which must be '1' (Config). If the value is '0' (DCP-DHCP), you
must change the IP Address Selection Jumper from being across
pins 1 and 2 to being across pins 2 and 3.
Use the following procedure to configure the option module on your
PROFINET network.
1. Configure your PROFINET gateway.
You have to configure a PROFINET network with a gateway before you
can add and configure your option module. Consult the user manual for
your controller and gateway for information on setting up your products
and establishing a PROFINET network.
2. Download the GSDML file for your option card from the PCDC.
You will require the corresponding GSDML file to obtain basic
configuration information about the PROFINET device you add to the
network. The GSDML configuration files identify the device's capabilities
so that the PROFINET controller can communicate with it correctly.
3. Import the GSDML file into your PROFINET project by using your
chosen configuration tool.
4. Using the configuration tool, add your option card to your PROFINET
network and configure it as a slave device.
You can configure up to 16 Datalinks for the option card.
5. Save and download your project to the PROFINET Gateway.
