Abstract: A method for updating firmware within an industrial automation environment comprising a plurality of industrial components is provided. The method includes providing an industrial system firmware update menu from an update server to a user through a web interface within an application running on a user device, and receiving one or more selections of the industrial system firmware update menu from the user through the web interface. The method also includes processing the one or more selections of the industrial system firmware update menu to determine required firmware update files and a firmware update schedule, and transferring the required firmware update files to the industrial components in an order specified by the firmware update schedule.

Abstract: A method for updating firmware within an industrial automation environment comprising a plurality of industrial components is provided. The method includes receiving a configuration template corresponding to the industrial automation environment through a user interface, and determining available firmware updates from a product compatibility and download center. The method also includes processing the configuration template and available firmware updates to determine required firmware update files and a firmware update schedule, and transferring the required firmware update files to the industrial components in an order specified by the firmware update schedule.
