  2. Search for one of the following analog modules: 1756-OF8, 1756-OF4, 1756-IF8 or 1756-IF16.
  3. Select the latest series/firmware for the module, and proceed to Downloads.
  4. Use the Select Files option to view all available downloads for the select module.
  5. Download the item AOP - Add On Profiles for 1756 Analog1 v40.14.70.
  6. Extract the files and run the installation. A reboot will be required after the install complete.

Leave it to Rockwell to screw things up just for an update.
