Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of a system (200) and method (300) to update firmware across multiple devices in a process facility using a single domain of a FOUNDATION Fieldbus protocol. In one embodiment, the system (200) has a receiving device (214) that couples with a pair of target devices, e.g., a first target device (216) and a second target device (218). The receiving device includes operating instructions that can process an input and generate an output. The input comprises data comprising a first firmware component and a second firmware component for, respectively, the first target device and the second target device. The receiving device can direct the firmware component to the appropriate target device; generating a first output and a second output that distribute the firmware components to complete the upgrade process.
