Dear Experts,
We want to upgrade Delta V 7.3 to version 10.3, Please advise if this upgrade will also require replacement of any Control System Component.
In reply to defaraz:
Your initial posting says you want to go from version 7.3 to version 10.3. But now you mention that most of the stations are already on 10.3. I am not quite sure what that really means. Are you saying that your workstations are at 10.3 but your controllers and I/O are not? I hope that is not the case...!!
Please refer to Knowledge Base Article (KBA) AP-0900-0148 with a publish date of 27-Feb-2012. Section 7.2 of this release notes gives you a long list of Controller and I/O module with their firmware number and hardware number (it looks something like this -- see the cut & paste below --- this is only an example. For a complete list, you have to read the article).
You can verify what you have currently have versus what is needed based on the listed requirements of that article. You can run Diagnostics to let you know what versions you currently have. Compare that with what is listed in the release notes.
