Battery Life Advisory
The MVI46, MVI56, MVI56E, MVI69, and MVI71 modules use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to
backup the real-time clock and CMOS. The battery should last for the life of the module. The module must be
powered for approximately twenty hours before the battery becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged, the battery
provides backup power for the CMOS setup and the real-time clock for approximately 21 days. When the battery is
fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS and clock settings.
Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

1.4 Installing the Module in the Rack
If you have not already installed and configured your ControlLogix processor and
power supply, please do so before installing the MVI56-PDPMV1 module. Refer
to your Rockwell Automation product documentation for installation instructions.
Warning: You must follow all safety instructions when installing this or any other electronic
devices. Failure to follow safety procedures could result in damage to hardware or data, or even
serious injury or death to personnel. Refer to the documentation for each device you plan to
connect to verify that suitable safety procedures are in place before installing or servicing the
device.
Warning: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc
can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Verify that power is
removed or the area is non-hazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes
excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may
create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.
1 Turn power OFF.
2 Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and slide it into the rack
until the module is firmly against the backplane connector.
3 With a firm but steady push, snap the module into place.
4 Check that the holding clips on the top and bottom of the module are securely
in the locking holes of the rack.
5 Make a note of the slot location. You must identify the slot in which the
module is installed in order for the sample program to work correctly. Slot
numbers are identified on the green circuit board (backplane) of the
ControlLogix rack.
6 Turn power ON.
Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working, or may behave
unpredictably.

1.5 Choosing Sample Ladder Logic For Your Application
The sample program for your MVI56-PDPMV1 module includes custom tags,
data types and ladder logic for data I/O, status and alarm monitoring, and
mailbox messaging. For most applications, you can run the sample ladder
program without modification, or, for advanced applications, you can incorporate
the sample program into your existing application.
NOTE: ControlLogix firmware versions 15 or earlier do not support Add-On Instructions (AOIs).
For these applications, you will need to use the plain ladder logic sample programs.
For applications with ControlLogix firmware version 16 or newer, you can use the supplied AOI
samples, which encapsulate the ladder logic, controller tags, and user-defined data types into one
convenient import file.
SPECIAL NOTE: For AOI applications created using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) version
2.2.0 or later, the following process of sample ladder selection is not necessary. PCB versions
2.2.0 and up allow you to export custom-made RSLogix 5000 .L5X Rung Import files that precisely
match the module's configuration. Selecting and modifying sample logic will not be required if you
use PCB 2.2.0. or later and follow the procedure found in the topic, Export the Processor Files for
PCB v2.2.0 or later (page 107). For more details, see the section, Using the MVI56-PDPMV1 AddOn Instructions (page 24).
The inRAx Solutions CD provides several versions of the sample ladder logic.
The version number appended to the sample file name (for example, "_v13" or
"_v15") indicates which ControlLogix firmware version the sample program was
created to match. It is best if the ControlLogix processor firmware version and
sample program version match. However, RSLogix 5000 can convert an older
version sample to a later ControlLogix firmware version, if necessary.
The following criteria determine which sample program to select:
o
Processor Firmware Version
o
MVI56-PDPMV1 module firmware version
o
MVI56-PDPMV1 mode used (FLEX or LEGACY)
Note: FLEX mode is available only for module firmware versions 1.21 or later.
The next few topics will help you determine which sample programs will work
best for your application.

1.5.2 Determining the Firmware Version of the MVI56-PDPMV1
Module
There are two ways to verify the module firmware version:
Checking the Version During Power-Up
When the module powers up, it will search for the ControlLogix processor to
establish backplane connectivity. If the correct ladder is not loaded to the
processor, or if the module is not located in the configured slot, or the processor
is missing, the module will not allow access to the debug menu and will print the
message "Waiting for Connection to the processor…"
Because debug menu access is not allowed at this point, view the debug menu
messages that are printed during power-up for the module firmware version.
Refer to the message that appears just before the message "C>pb_msts1":
If the message "MVI56-PDPMV1 Firmware Version = x.xx" appears on the
screen as shown in the following illustration, the module firmware is version 1.21
or later.

PROFIBUS DPV1 Master User Manual
If the message "MVI56-PDPMV1 Firmware Version = x.xx" does not appear on
the screen, the module firmware version is 0.30.
Checking the Version After Power-Up
If the correct sample program (LEGACY or FLEX) is loaded into your processor
and the module is located in same slot that was configured, then after module
power-up it will be possible to access the debug menu through ProSoft
Configuration Builder (PCB).

2 Press [V] to display the module version information. Verify "SOFTWARE
REVISION LEVEL" for the module firmware version (1.21 for the example
below):
1.5.3 Determining the Module Mode (LEGACY or FLEX)
There are two versions of the sample program: LEGACY (fixed I/O sizes) and
FLEX (variable I/O sizes) versions.
MVI56-PDPMV1 firmware version 0.30 must use the LEGACY sample
program and fixed I/O sizes.
MVI56-PDPMV1 firmware version 1.21 or later can use either the LEGACY or
FLEX mode sample programs.
For module firmware version 1.21 or later, the U
parameter in ProSoft Configuration Builder selects which mode you will use.
Setting the parameter to YES says to use fixed I/O sizes in LEGACY mode.
Setting the parameter to NO says to use variable I/O sizes in FLEX mode. This
step is described in Select the Connection Parameters for the Module (page 69).
LEGACY mode allows backward compatibility with firmware version 0.30 and
implements the following features:
Fixed backplane I/O block size (input size = 250 words, output size = 248
words)
Status and Mailbox transferred through regular I/O blocks.

LEGACY mode offers these advantages:
Works with all module firmware versions; use LEGACY mode for backward
compatibility in older applications.
Since all parameters are fixed, configuration is simpler than FLEX mode.
Status data is bought across the backplane as I/O data without the need for
additional logic to trigger MSG instructions.
FLEX mode implements the following features:
Supports variable backplane I/O block sizes (input backplane block size can
be set from 12 words to 250 words; output backplane block size can be set
from 5 to 248 words).
Status, Slave Diagnostic, and Mailbox data transferred through MSG
instructions.
Supports IOT instruction for immediate write of backplane output.
When transfer speed for smaller data configurations is a priority or when
backward compatibility is not required, consider using FLEX mode, which
provides these advantages:
Makes it easier to support installing the module in a remote rack. The flexible
backplane I/O block size allows you to adjust the amount of data to transfer
for any specific remote rack application and optimize network bandwidth
utilization.
Improves backplane I/O block transfer performance by implementing MSG
instructions to retrieve module status. This means regular I/O block transfers
are not needed for status data, so process I/O data can be updated more
often. The same applies to Mailbox MSG data transfers.
Improves backplane performance by implementing the IOT instruction for
Immediate Output Transfers, which overrides the module RPI time and sends
data as fast as possible.

Note: For ControlLogix version 16, you will use the Add-On Instruction (AOI) rung import (.L5X)
files, which encapsulate all the required ladder logic, controller tags, and user-defined data types
into a single import file; or you can use the version 16 ladder logic sample files (.ACD), which
already have the AOI files imported. The plain ladder logic sample files (.ACD) for versions 13 and
15 use the same logic as the AOI versions but display them as standard ladder logic. The separate
AOI .L5K file exists to make it easier to import the sample application into an existing project or
new project file. You do not need to import the AOI .L5K files into any of the .ACD ladder logic
sample programs. ControlLogix versions 15 and earlier do not support Add-On Instructions; so do
not try to import the AOI .L5K files into those older versions of RSLogix 5000.
For ControlLogix firmware version 16, refer to Using the MVI56-PDPMV1 Add-On Instructions

Note: This section applies only for applications with ControlLogix firmware version 16 or higher.
For earlier firmware versions, refer to Using the MVI56-PDPMV1 Sample Ladder Logic (page 23).
The Add-On Instruction (AOI) is supplied already installed as part of a complete
.ACD program file and also as an .L5X ladder import file that can be imported
into an existing or new application. Importing the AOI reduces module setup time
and simplifies your application logic. The .L5X file automatically imports the
following components into an application:
User-defined data types
Controller tags and tag arrays
Add-On Instruction logic
Ladder rung required to call the Add-On Instruction
This section will show the procedure on how to import the Add-On Instruction into
your existing ladder for both module modes (LEGACY or FLEX).
