Issue
In the field it can be advantageous to flash an i2 to a b3 or a b3 to an i2
Product Line
Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Infinet controllers
- BACnet controllers
- i2xx/i28xx-V
- b3xx/b28xx-V
Cause
Flashing controllers in the field can save time
Resolution
- If the controllers are i28xx-V or b38xx-V then these can be flashed back and forth in the field. Please refer to Update b3 or i2 OS which also contains information on converting a bCX4040 to/from bCX9640
- Refer to Conversion of Continuum devices from i2 to b3 and vice-versa in the field for non -V models
- If the i2/b3 controller is NOT included in the above (any other type of controller) then it cannot be flashed in the field, it will need to be sent to repair to change from an Infinet to BACnet or BACnet to Infinet. If you attempt to flash this way in the field it can cause the controller to become a non-functioning controller.
