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.

2 Configuring the MVI69-DFNT Module

2.1 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a convenient way to manage module configuration files customized to meet your application needs. PCB is not only a powerful solution for new configuration files, but also allows you to import information from previously installed (known working) configurations to new projects.

2.1.1 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, an information pane and a 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.

1 Use the mouse to select DEFAULT MODULE in the tree view, and then click the

right mouse button to open a shortcut menu.

2.2 [Module]

This section describes how to initialize the module upon startup.

2.2.1 Failure Flag Count

0 through 65535 This parameter specifies the number of successive transfer errors that must

occur before halting communication on the application port(s). If the parameter is set to 0, the application port(s) will continue to operate under all conditions. If the value is set larger than 0 (1 to 65535), communications will cease if the specified number of failures occur.

2.2.2 Initializing Output Data

YES or NO This parameter determines if the output data for the module should be initialized

with values from the processor. If the value is set to NO (0), the output data will be initialized to 0. If the value is set to YES (1), the data will be initialized with data from the processor. Setting this option to YES requires associated ladder logic to pass the data from the processor to the module.
