Upgrade firmwire profibus CI840/CI840A
Dear Expert, Our customer upgrade System from 800xA from 5.1 to 6.1, We already update Controller(PM866) and communication Module(profibus CI854) . How about profibus module for IO CI840/Ci840A, is it need to upgrade firmwire? As I read from manual that need software loader32, where I can get the software and firmwire for CI840/CI840A for ver 6.1?

Greetings,
Latest firmware version for CI840 is sw 4.3/2.
Released firmware versions can be down loaded from ABB Library or ABB SolutionsBank.
By the way, you also need TK212 cable, for connecting your computer to service plug of base plate.
Hope it helps you.

> "is it need to upgrade firmwire?"
Normally, No. It's not required to update.

Without actually knowing what revision of firmware your existing Profibus stations are at, we can't answer. There are quite possibly older firmware revisions of the CI840 that should be upgraded, but this should not be dependent on the firmware level of the bus master. The CI840 should talk to any profibus master, not just AC800M.
The Loader32 software comes with the CI840 firmware, available in the ABB Library. You will need a valid account to be able to download the software.
