The MVI46, MVI56, 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 m odule 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 approxim at ely 21 days. When the battery is f ully
dischar g ed, t h e modul e will revert to the default BIO S and clock s ett ings.
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 illu stration shows the MVI56-104S jumper configu ration.
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.

1.5 Install 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 MVI56-104S module. Refer to
your Rockwell Automation product documentation for installa tion 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.
After you have checked the placement of the jumpers, insert MVI56-104S into
the ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended by Rockwell
Automation to remove and install ControlLogix modules.
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 OF F.
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.
1.6 Connect your PC to the ControlLogix Processo r
There are several ways to establish communication between your PC and the
ControlLogix processor. The following steps show how to establish
communication through the serial interface. It is not mandatory that you use the
processor's serial interface. You may access the processor through whatever
network interface is available on your system. Refer to your Rockwell Automation
documentation for information on other connection methods.
1 Connect the right-angle connector end of the cable to your controller at the
communic ati o ns por t.

2 Connect the straight connector end of the cable to the serial port on your
computer.
1.7 Open the Sample Ladder Logic
The sample program for your MVI56-104S module includes custom tags, data
types and ladder logic for data I/O and status monitoring. For most applications,
you can run the sample ladder program without modification, or, for advanced
applications, you can incorporate the samp le program into your existing
application.
The inRAx Solutions CD provides on e or more v ersions of the sample lad der
logic. The versi o n num b er appended to the file na m e corresponds with the
firmware vers i o n number of your Control Lo gi x pr o c ess or . Th e firm w ar e ver s i o n
and sample program version must match.
1.7.1 To Determine the Firmware Version of your Processor
Important: The RSLinx service must be installed and running on your computer in order for
RSLogix to communicate with the processor. Refer to your RSLinx and RSLogix documentation for
help configuring and troubleshooting these applications.
1 Connect an RS-232 serial cable from the COM (serial) port on your PC to the
communication port on the front of the pr ocessor.
2 Start RSLogix 5000 and close any existing project that may be loaded.
3 Open the Communications menu and choose Go Online. RSLogix will
establish communication with the processor. This may take a few moments.

2.3 [SNTP CLIENT]
The [SNTP CLIENT] section of the CFG file is used to speci fy th e par ameters for
the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client provided with the protocol
driver. This client is required in order to keep the driver's internal clock set
correctly. This version of the driver supports SNTP Revision 3 and stratum
bet ween 1 and 14.
SNTP is used for time synchronization of produced and consumed commands.
When an exchan ge occurs the driver compa res time s tamps from the previo us
exchange. When the new exchange time is less than the previous exchange, the
exchange is ignored. This can occur when the Ethernet packets are routed and
delayed . Tim e sy nc hr oni zation provides for dat a i n tegr i ty .
The SNTP driver will compute a new clock value every 5 minutes using the
average val ue of 10 samples each collec t ed over an ap pr oxi m a t e 6- second
period. This new value will be used to adjust the clock maintained by the SNTP
driver and used by the application. If a valid database register is specified, the
