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 Setting Jumpers

The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module’s flash memory. In
"write protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module’s
firmware cannot be overwritten. Do not jumper the Setup pins together unless
you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support.

The following illustration shows the MVI46-PDPMV1 jumper configuration.

Note: If you are installing the module in a remote rack, you may prefer to leave the Setup pins
jumpered. That way, you can update the module’s firmware without requiring physical access to
the module.

2.1 Setting Up the Project

To begin, start ProSoft Configuration Builder. If you have used other Windows
configuration tools before, you will find the screen layout familiar. ProSoft
Configuration Builder’s window consists of a tree view on the left, and an
information pane and configuration pane on the right side of the window. When
you first start ProSoft Configuration Builder, the tree view consists of folders for

Default Project and Default Location, with a Default Module in the Default
Location folder. The following illustration shows the ProSoft Configuration Builder

window with a new project.

Your first task is to add the MVI46-PDPMV1 module to the project.

2.2.3 Input Byte Swap

YES or NO

This parameter determines if the bytes in the PROFIBUS Input Data area are
swapped before being stored in the module memory database. If the parameter
is set to NO, no swapping will be applied. If the parameter is set to YES, the order
of bytes in each word will be swapped before being stored in memory.

Example:

 With Input Byte Swap set to NO, incoming order is unchanged - ABCDEF
 With Input Byte Swap set to YES, each byte pair is swapped - BADCFE

2.2.4 Output Byte Swap

YES or NO

This parameter determines if the bytes in the PROFIBUS Output Data area are
swapped before being transmitted to slaves on the PROFIBUS network. If the
parameter is set to NO, no swapping will be applied. If the parameter is set to

YES, the order of bytes in each word will be swapped before being transmitted.

Example:
 With Output Byte Swap set to NO, outgoing output order is unchanged -

ABCDEF

 With Output Byte Swap set to YES, each output byte pair is swapped -

BADCFE

2.3.1 Installing the GSD Files

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) uses PROFIBUS slave device definition files
(GSD files) to obtain basic configuration information about the PROFIBUS slaves
you add to the network. The GSD configuration files identify the slave’s
capabilities so that the MVI46-PDPMV1 can communicate with it correctly. Slave
device manufacturers provide the GSD files for the equipment they make. Slave
device files sometimes come in various languages. When a manufacturer
provides slave device files in several languages, it is a common practice to use
the third letter of the file extension to indicate the language used in the file. For
instance:

o

.GSD is the most commonly used file extension and will usually be in
either English or German

o

.GSE will usually be in English

o

.GSS will usually be in Spanish

o

.GSF will usually be in French

o

other combinations may also be seen, as well as other languages using
the letters indicated above

Follow these steps to install the GSD file or files for your slave device or devices.
