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.

1.4Installing 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.

1Turn power OFF.

2Align 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.

5Make 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.

6Turn power ON.

Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working, or may behave

unpredictably.

1.5Choosing 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 Add-

On 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:

oProcessor Firmware Version

oMVI56-PDPMV1 module firmware version

oMVI56-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.

1.5.2Determining 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).

2Press [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 USE LEGACY MODE configuration 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.

MVI56-PDPMV1 ♦ ControlLogix Platform	Start Here
PROFIBUS DPV1 Master	User Manual

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.

	1.21 or later	17	N (FLEX)	MVI56PDPMV1_FLEX_v17.ACD	MVI56PDPMV1_FLEX_v1_2.L5X

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 (page 24).
