Instructions
This document provides information on upgrading the 1336 PLUS II
firmware, including a description of the Flash memory used in the
drive and the procedures required for downloading the latest firmware
revision. For detailed drive information, refer to 1336 PLUS II User
Manual, publication 1336 PLUS-5.3.
What is Flash Memory?
The drive firmware (including parameter layout and operating
algorithms) resides in a form of programmable read-only memory
called “Flash Memory.” Flash memory allows the user to easily
upgrade the drive firmware locally using a standard computer and the
supplied Firmware Download Module. The latest firmware files are
available on the Internet or from your local Allen-Bradley Sales
Office.
Firmware Download
Requirements
The necessary file can be downloaded to the module with a computer
having the following:
• Disk drive (hard and/or floppy).
• Standard communications program capable of XMODEM
protocol.
• Standard serial “COM” port and connecting cable (see below).
In addition, the following is recommended:
• IBMcompatible computer with MicrosoftWindowsOperating
System.
• Internet access and browser software.

Main Control Board Power
Requirements
In order to upgrade firmware, the Main Control Board must have
power applied. This can be accomplished through one of the
following methods:
•Application of AC line voltage per instructions in Chapter 2 of
the 1336 PLUS II User Manual. This is the normal method for
installed drives.
•External power supply through the auxiliary 24V DC input at
terminal block TB4 (B frame & up, see Auxiliary Inputs – TB4,
TB6 in the User Manual).
•External power supply through power connector on module (all
drives). This method does not power the entire logic section, but
provides enough power to activate the flash memory. This is the
best method for drives not yet installed. The external supply must
provide 6.0 - 9.0V DC, 0.5A and is connected on the right-side of
the module (see Figure 1).
Important:
Do Not apply power until instructed to do so.
Installation Procedure Important:
During the time that the flash memory is being upgraded,
the drive will be in a “non-operational state” and will not
havetheabilitytocontrolthemotor.Becertainthatplacing
the drive in a non-operational state is acceptable.
1. Remove and lock-out all incoming power to the drive.
2. If a HIM (or other snap-in module) is installed, remove it by
carefully squeezing the locking tabs-in and pulling-out.
3. A Frame Drives - If a Control Interface Board (L option) is
installed, carefully remove the board by loosening the 2 captive
screws. Position the board and attached wires off to the side of the
chassis.
4. Locate a spare jumper on the Main Control Board and install it at
J20 (see Figure 1). This jumper allows the flash EEPROM to be
overwritten with a new version of firmware.
!ATTENTION: This drive and module contain ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies.
Static control precautions are required when installing,
testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component
damage may result if ESD control procedures are not
followed. If you are not familiar with static control
procedures, reference publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding
AgainstElectrostaticDamage”oranyotherapplicableESD
protection handbook.
!ATTENTION: To avoid a shock hazard, assure that all
power to the drive has been removed before proceeding. In
addition, verify that the DC bus has discharged by
measuring across the “+DC” and “–DC” terminals of TB1
with a voltmeter. The voltage should be 0.0VDC.
