Update Your Micro800
Controller Firmware

Quick Starts

This chapter covers some common tasks and quickstart instructions that are aimed to make you
familiar with the Connected Component Workbench software.
The quick start shows you how to update the firmware for a Micro800 controller using Connected
Components Workbench software version 10 or later.
From Connected Components Workbench software release 10 onwards, there are two options you
can select to update the firmware:
• Upgrade or Downgrade – This option retains the controller's existing configuration, Ethernet
settings, and password.
• Reset – This option clears the controller's existing configuration, Ethernet settings, and
password.
The procedure to update the controller is similar for both options.
ATTENTION: Retention of the controller's existing configuration, Ethernet
settings, and password is only available when updating from firmware
revision 10 to the same or later revision. If updating from firmware revision
10 to 9 or earlier, or updating to firmware revision 10 from an earlier revision,
the controller's existing configuration, Ethernet settings, and password are
cleared.
IMPORTANT If you have forgotten the password for the controller, use the Reset option to
clear the password.
On Micro820 controllers, you can update your controllers through the Ethernet port and the USB of
the 2080-REMLCD plug-in module.
IMPORTANT To update your controller over USB successfully, connect only one controller
to your computer, and do not perform the update in a virtual machine such
as VMware.
To begin, launch the Connected Components Workbench software:
1. In the menu, select Device -> Update Firmware -> Upgrade or Downgrade...
Alternatively, in the Project Organizer, right-click the controller and select Update Firmware
-> Upgrade or Downgrade...
2. If your project does not have a connection path to the controller, the Connection Browser
dialog appears. Select your controller, then select OK.
