Battery Life Advisory

All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 512K SRAM memory, 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 it becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged, the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and configuration data, the real-time clock, and the 512K SRAM memory for approximately 21 days. Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged. A fully charged battery will hold the BIOS settings (after being removed from its power source) for a limited number of days. When the battery is fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS settings.

Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

2.1 Configuration File

The MVI69-DNP module stores its configuration in a text file called DNP.CFG, located in the module's flash memory. When the module starts up, it reads the configuration file and uses the information to control how the DNP 3.0 Master/Slave protocol interacts with the module's application port(s).

The configuration file is arranged in Sections, with a heading in [ ] characters at the beginning of each section. Each Section contains a list of Parameters and Values, followed by an optional Comment that explains the parameter.

The following illustration shows an example of a Section, a Parameter, a Value, and a Comment.

The Parameter must be followed by a [:] (colon) character. The text following the [:] is a Value.

The module ignores "comment" text following the [#] character. Use comments to document your configuration settings.

You can get a sample configuration file for the module in the following places:

 Copy (page 34) the DNP.CFG from the module's flash memory to your PC  Copy the DNP.CFG from the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM supplied with the

The definition of each parameter required for each command is provided in the following table.

Bits in the Port/Flags parameter are dependent on the data type. The following table defines the Port/Flags bits for binary input, analog input and counter data points.

Port/Flags Bits Description Decimal Equivalent

0 to 1 Communication port (0=Internal, 2=Port 2) 0 or 2 2 Enable/Disable Command (1=Enable, 0=Disable) 4 3 RBE Flag (0=Events from IED, 1=Events by module) 8 4 to 7 Not Used

For these data types the qualifier used in the data request is dependent on the Point Count and Address in Slave fields in the command as follows:

If Point Count < 0, then use Qualifier 06h (All points, packed & -Point Count = # of points to consider) If Address in Slave = 0 & Point Count > 0, then use Qualifier 00h or 01h (points 0 to Point Count -1) If Address in Slave > 0 & Point Count > 0, then use Qualifier 00h or 01h (Address in Slave to Address in Slave + Point Count - 1)

The following table defines the Port/Flags bits for binary output and analog output points.

Port/Flags Bits Description Decimal Equivalent

0 to 1 Communication port (0=Internal, 2=Port 2) 0 or 2 2 Enable/Disable Command (1=Enable, 0=Disable) 4 3 Poll Type (0=Poll, 1=Exception) 8 4 Data Source (0=DNP Database, 1=IED Database) 16 5 to 7 Not Used

For these data types the qualifier used in the data request is dependent on the Point Count and Address in Slave fields in the command as follows:

If Address in Slave = 0 & Point Count > 0, then use Qualifier 17h or 28h (Point Count specified starting at point 0) If Address in Slave > 0 & Point Count > 0, then use Qualifier 17h or28h (points from Address in Slave to Address in Slave + Point Count - 1) If Point Count <= 0, then ignore because this is illegal for outputs.

 Special Objects .....................................................................................45

 Adding the Module to an Existing CompactLogix Project......................47

 Adding the Module to an Existing MicroLogix Project............................50

Ladder logic is required for application of the MVI69-DNP module. Tasks that must be handled by the ladder logic are module data transfer, special block handling and status data receipt. Additionally, a power-up handler may be needed to handle the initialization of the module's data and to clear any processor fault conditions.

The sample ladder logic, on the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM, is extensively commented, to provide information on the purpose and function of each rung. For most applications, the sample ladder will work without modification.

3.1 Module Data Objects

All data related to the MVI69-DNP is stored in two user defined data types. One contains the status data and the other contains the DNP and IED datasets. Two structures were used for ease of use. Any time an array's size is altered in the RSLogix 5000 software, all the data in the object is set to zero. Because the array sizes may need to be adjusted for the data types in an application, this data is placed in a separate object.

An instance of each data type is required before the module can be used. This is accomplished by declaring variables of the data types in the Controller Tags Edit Tags dialog box. Each object is discussed in the following topics:

3.1.1 DNPModuleDef Object

The DNPModuleDef object contains all the MVI69-DNP module status data. The structure of the object is displayed in the following example:

Tag Name Data Type Description

GenStat DNPSlvStat General status information ErrList INT[60] List of last 60 slave errors BP DNPBackplane Data to handle backplane logic CmdLstErr DNPCmdLstErr ComErrTble DNPComErrTble Readclock DNPtime_n_date WriteClock DNPtime_n_date

This object contains objects that define the status related to the module. Each of these object types is discussed in the following topics of the document. The ErrList member of the object stores the list of last 60 errors generated by the module. This data is passed to the processor from the module the read block

100. Ladder logic transfers this information from the processor into the ErrList array.

3.1.2 DNPSlvStat Object

The DNPSlvStat object stores the status data passed from the module to the processor in the read blocks 112 to 114. This block of data contains information that can be used to determine the "health" of the module and the tasks running. The structure of the object is shown in the following example:

Tag Name Data Type Description

3.1.3 DNPBackplane Object

The DNPBackplane object stores the variables required for backplane data transfer between the module and the processor. The structure of the object is displayed in the following example:

Tag Name Data Type Description

LastRead INT Index of last re ad block LastWrite INT Index of last write block BlockIndex INT Computed block offset for data table

3.1.4 DNPData Object

The DNPData object stores all the data for an MVI69-DNP module. This includes the data to interface with the DNP slave port (DNP data set) and the DNP master port (IED data set). Contained within the object is an array for each data type that can exist for each of the two data sets. The array sizes are set to match the configuration set for the module. If multiple MVI69-DNP modules are used within a rack, a copy of this structure may have to be made to permit each module to have its own database sizes. Ladder logic is required to transfer the data in this structure between the module and the processor. Each data type has its own set of unique block identification codes to distinguish the data contained in the read or write block.

The structure of the object is shown in the following example:

Tag Name Data Type Description

DNP_BI INT[480] Number of DNP BI data words DNP_BO INT[ 480] Number of DNP BO data words DNP_Cntr DINT[240] Number of DNP counter double-words DNP_AI INT[480] Number of DNP AI data words DNP_FLTI REAL[240] DNP_AO INT[ 480] Number of DNP AO data words DNP_FLTO REAL[240] IED_BI INT[480] Number of IED BI data words IED_BO INT[480] Number of IED BO data words IED_Cntr DINT[240] Number of IED counter double-wods IED_AI INT[480] Number of IED AI data words IED_AO INT[480] Number of IED AO data words

4 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

In This Chapter

 Reading Status Data from the Module ..................................................53

 LED Status Indicators............................................................................66

The module provides information on diagnostics and troubleshooting in the following forms:

 Status data values are transferred from the module to the processor.  Data contained in the module can be viewed through the

Configuration/Debug port attached to a terminal emulator.

 LED status indicators on the front of the module provide information on the

module's status.

4.1 Reading Status Data from the Module

The MVI69-DNP module returns a Status Data block that can be used to determine the module's operating status. This data is located in the module's database at a user set location. For a complete listing of the status data object, refer to the Reference chapter. The Configuration/Debug port provides the following functionality:

 Full view of the module's configuration data  View of the module's status data  Complete display of the module's internal database (registers 0 to 3999)  Version Information  Control over the module (warm boot, cold boot, transfer configuration)  Facility to upload and download the module's configuration file

4.1.1 The Configuration/Debug Menu

The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree structure, with the Main Menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the module is the Main menu.

Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the command letter from your computer keyboard in the terminal application (for example, HyperTerminal). The module does not respond to mouse movements or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the command letter — you do not need to press [Enter]. When you type a command letter, a new screen will be displayed in your terminal application.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 53 of 129 November 3, 2008

MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform Diagnostics and Troubleshooting DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module

Navigation

All of the sub-menus for this module contain commands to redisplay the menu or return to the previous menu. You can always return from a sub-menu to the next higher menu by pressing [M] on your keyboard.

The organization of the menu structure is represented in simplified form in the following illustration:

The remainder of this section shows you the menus available for this module, and briefly discusses the commands available to you.

Keystrokes

The keyboard commands on these menus are almost always non-case sensitive. You can enter most commands in lower case or capital letters.

The menus use a few special characters ([?], [-], [+], [@]) that must be entered exactly as shown. Some of these characters will require you to use the [Shift], [Ctrl] or [Alt] keys to enter them correctly. For example, on US English keyboards, enter the [?] command as [Shift][/].

Also, take care to distinguish capital letter [I] from lower case letter [l] (L) and number [1]; likewise for capital letter [O] and number [0]. Although these characters look nearly the same on the screen, they perform different actions on the module.

4.1.2 Required Hardware

You can connect directly from your computer's serial port to the serial port on the module to view configuration information, perform maintenance, and send (upload) or receive (download) configuration files.

ProSoft Technology recommends the following minimum hardware to connect your computer to the module:

 80486 based processor (Pentium preferred)  1 megabyte of memory  At least one UART hardware-based serial communications port available.

USB-based virtual UART systems (USB to serial port adapters) often do not function reliably, especially during binary file transfers, such as when uploading/downloading configuration files or module firmware upgrades.

 A null modem serial cable.

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module

4.1.3 Required Software

In order to send and receive data over the serial port (COM port) on your computer to the module, you must use a communication program (terminal emulator).

A simple communication program called HyperTerminal is pre-installed with recent versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you are connecting from a machine running DOS, you must obtain and install a compatible communication program. The following table lists communication programs that have been tested by ProSoft Technology.

DOS ProComm, as well as several other terminal emulation programs Windows 3.1 Terminal Windows 95/98 HyperTerminal Windows NT/2000/XP HyperTerminal

The module uses the Ymodem file transfer protocol to send (upload) and receive (download) configuration files from your module. If you use a communication program that is not on the list above, please be sure that it supports Ymodem file transfers.

4.1.4 Using the Configuration/Debug Port

To connect to the module's Configuration/Debug port:

1 Connect your computer to the module's port using a null modem cable. 2 Start the communication program on your computer and configure the

communication parameters with the following settings:

Baud Rate 57,600 Parity None Data Bits 8 Stop Bits 1 Software Handshaking None

3 Open the connection. When you are connected, press the [?] key on your

keyboard. If the system is set up properly, you will see a menu with the module name followed by a list of letters and the commands associated with

them. If there is no response from the module, follow these steps: 1 Verify that the null modem cable is connected properly between your

computer's serial port and the module. A regular serial cable will not work. 2 Verify that RSLinx is not controlling the COM port. Refer to Disabling the

RSLinx Driver for the Com Port on the PC (page 90). 3 Verify that your communication software is using the correct settings for baud

rate, parity and handshaking. 4 On computers with more than one serial port, verify that your communication

program is connected to the same port that is connected to the module. If you are still not able to establish a connection, you can contact ProSoft

Technology Technical Support for further assistance.

BP Amber

OK Red/

Green

Off No data is being transferred on the Configuration/Debug port. On Data is being sent/received on this port P1 Green Off Waiting for data on this port On Data is being sent/received on this port P2 Green Off Waiting for data on this port Off The MVI69-DNP is working normally. APP Amber On

Off

Green The module is operating normally. Red

Off The battery voltage is OK and functioning. BAT Red On

Data is being transferred between the module and a remote terminal using the Configuration/Debug port.

The MVI69-DNP module program has recognized a communication error on one of its DNP ports.

The LED is on when the module is performing a write operation on the backplane.

The LED is off when the module is performing a read operation on the backplane. Under normal operation, the LED should blink rapidly on and off.

The card is not receiving any power and is not securely plugged into the rack.

The program has detected an error or is being configured. If the LED remains red for over 10 seconds, the program has probably halted. Remove the card from the rack and re-insert the card to restart the module's program.

The battery voltage is low or battery is not present. Allow battery to charge by keeping module plugged into rack for 24 hours. If BAT LED still does not go off, contact ProSoft Technology, as this is not a user serviceable item.

If a configuration error is found for the client, the client configuration error word will have a value other than zero. The configuration error word bits have the following definitions:

Bit Description Value

0 0x0001 1 0x0002 2 0x0004 3 0x0008 4 Invalid retry count parameter 0x0010 5 The float flag parameter is not valid. 0x0020 6 The float start parameter is not valid. 0x0040 7 The float offset parameter is not valid. 0x0080 8 0x0100 9 0x0200 10 0x0400

Bit Description Value

11 0x0800 12 0x1000 13 0x2000 14 0x4000 15 0x8000

Correct any invalid data in the configuration for proper module operation. When the configuration contains a valid parameter set, all the bits in the configuration word will be clear. This does not indicate that the configuration is valid for the user application. Make sure each parameter is set correctly for the specific application.

If the APP, BP ACT and OK LEDs blink at a rate of every one-second, this indicates a serious problem with the module. Call ProSoft Technology support to arrange for repairs.

4.2.1 Clearing a Fault Condition

Typically, if the OK LED on the front of the module turns red for more than ten seconds, a hardware problem has been detected in the module, or the program has exited.

To clear the condition, follow these steps:

1 Turn off power to the rack 2 Remove the card from the rack 3 Verify that all jumpers are set correctly 4 If the module requires a Compact Flash card, verify that the card is installed

correctly

5 Re-insert the card in the rack and turn the power back on 6 Verify the configuration data being transferred to the module from the

5.2 Functional Overview

This section provides an overview of how the MVI69-DNP module transfers data using the DNP protocol. You should understand the important concepts in this chapter before you begin installing and configuring the module.

5.2.1 General Concepts

The following discussion explains several concepts that are important for understanding the operation of the MVI69-DNP module.

Module Power Up

On power up the module begins performing the following logical functions: 1 Initialize hardware components.

o Initialize CompactLogix or MicroLogix backplane driver. o Test and Clear all RAM. o Initialize the serial communication ports. o Initialize the TCP/IP stack and Ethernet interface.

2 Read module configuration from DNP.CFG file on Compact Flash disk or

Flash RAM (depending on hardware configuration).

3 Initialize the Module Register Space. 4 Enable Client and/or Server driver on selected ports, as configured.

When this initialization procedure is complete, the module will begin communicating with other nodes on the network, depending on the configuration.

Main Logic Loop

Upon completing the power up configuration process, the module enters an infinite loop that performs the following functions:

Reference MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module

Backplane Data Transfer

The MVI69-DNP module communicates directly over the CompactLogix or MicroLogix backplane. Data is paged between the module and the CompactLogix processor across the backplane using the module's input and output images. The update frequency of the images is determined by the scheduled scan rate defined by the user for the module and the communication load on the module. Typical updates are in the range of 2 to 10 milliseconds.

The data is paged between the processor and the module using input and output image blocks.

This bi-directional transference of data is accomplished by the module filling in data in the module's input image to send to the processor. Data in the input image is placed in the Controller Tags in the processor by the ladder logic. The input image for the module may be set to 62 words.

The processor inserts data to the module's output image to transfer to the module. The module's program extracts the data and places it in the module's internal database. The output image for the module may be set to 61 words.

The following illustration shows the data transfer method used to move data between the CompactLogix processor, the MVI69-DNP module and the DNP network.

All data transferred between the module and the processor over the backplane is through the input and output images. Ladder logic must be written in the CompactLogix processor to interface the block data with user data files. All data used by the module is stored in its internal database. The following illustration shows the layout of the database:

Data contained in this database is paged through the input and output images by coordination of the CompactLogix ladder logic and the MVI69-DNP module's program. Up to 64 words of data can be transferred from the module to the processor at a time. Up to 64 words of data can be transferred from the processor to the module. The read and write block identification codes in each data block determine the function to be performed or the content of the data block. The module uses the following block numbers:

Blocks 0 to 54 transfer data. Block 112 transfers error/status data. Blocks 9901 to 9999 are used for command control of the module. Each block group is described in the following topics.

Note: Block identification codes -1 and -2 are dummy blocks. The PLC should ignore any blocks

with these numbers as data does not represent any valid information in the module. The DNP application will ignore any write blocks with these numbers.

5.2.2 Normal Data Transfer

Normal data transfer includes the paging of the user data found in the module's internal database in registers 0 to 4999 and the status data. These data are transferred through read (input image) and write (output image) blocks. The structure and function of each block is discussed in the following topics.

The block transfer numbers are fixed in the program for each DNP data type for this application. Block numbers are assigned by the application based on the number of points of each type. The application only allocates the number of blocks required to hold the data point count specified. For example, if 200 digital input points are required for the application, only block 0 is allocated and if 150 counter points are required, blocks 16 to 20 are defined. These are separate data areas for the DNP data used by the PLC and the data used by attached IED units that are not part of the DNP database in the module. Each block transfers 60 word-size registers.

DATA TYPE START BLOCK # MAX BLOCK # MAX # OF POINTS

Digital Input 0 7 7680 Digital Output 8 15 7680 Counters 16 23 240 Analog Input 24 31 480 Analog Output 32 39 480

These blocks are mapped into a pre-defined memory area in the module. Pointers into the memory area are computed by the application for each data type. The application will only copy the portion of the block that contains valid data.

Read Block

These blocks of data transfer information from the module to the CompactLogix processor. The structure of the input image used to transfer this data is shown below:

Offset Description

0 Read Block ID 1 Write Block ID 2 to 61 Read Data

The Read Block ID is an index value used to determine the location of where the data will be placed in the CompactLogix processor controller tag array of module read data. Each transfer can move up to 60 words (block offsets 0 to 61) of data.

The Write Block ID associated with the block requests data from the CompactLogix processor. Under normal, program operation, the module sequentially sends read blocks and requests write blocks. For example, if three read and two write blocks are used with the application, the sequence will be as follows:

R1W1

R2W2 R3W1 R1W2 R2W1 R3W2 R1W1

Reference MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module

This sequence will continue until interrupted by other write block numbers sent by the controller or by a command request from a node on the DNP network or operator control through the module's Configuration/Debug port.

The following example shows a typical backplane communication application.

Write Block

These blocks of data transfer information from the CompactLogix or MicroLogix processor to the module. The structure of the output image used to transfer this data is shown below:

Offset Description

0 Write Block ID 1 to 60 Write Data 61 Spare

The Write Block ID is an index value used to determine the location in the module's database where the data will be placed as defined in the table presented in the previous section. Each transfer can move up to 60 words (block offsets 1 to 60) of data.

5.2.3 Command Control Blocks

Command control blocks are special blocks used to control the module or request special data from the module. The current version of the software supports several command control blocks, each of which are discussed in the following topics.

Block 9901 - Event Command

This block issues one or more command control requests to slaves attached to the DNP master port for object 12 data. When the module receives a block 9901 identification code, it places the included commands into the command queue.

5.2.4 Data Flow between MVI69-DNP Module and CompactLogix Processor

The following topics describe the flow of data between the two pieces of hardware (CompactLogix processor and MVI69-DNP module) and other nodes on the DNP network under the module's different operating modes. Each port on the module is configured to emulate a DNP master device or a DNP slave device. The operation of each port is dependent on this configuration.

The following topics discuss the operation of these drivers.

Slave Driver

The Slave Driver mode allows the MVI69-DNP module to respond to data read and write commands issued by a Master on the DNP network. The following flow chart and associated table describe the flow of data into and out of the module.

Step Description

The slave port driver receives the configuration information from the configuration file. This information configures the serial port and define the slave node characteristics. Additionally, the configuration information contains data that can be used to offset data in the database to addresses requested in messages received from master units.

A host device (DNP Master Unit) issues a read or write command to the module's node address. The port driver qualifies the message before accepting it into the module.

After the module accepts the command, the data is immediately transferred to or from the internal database in the module. If the command is a read command, the data is read out of the database and a response message is built. If the command is a write command, the data is written directly into the database and a response message is built.

After the data processing has been completed in Step 3, the response is issued to the originating master node.

Counters are available in the Status Block that permit the ladder logic program to determine the level of activity of the Slave Driver.

MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform Reference DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module

Review the Installing and Configuring the Module section for a complete list of parameters that must be defined for a slave port. The response messages from the slave driver include an IIN (internal indication word) defined in the Reference chapter - Internal Indication Word.

The slave driver supports Object 110 (octet string data). Four points are preassigned values as shown in the following table.

OCTET STRING POINT LIST

Point # Description

0 Module Name as assigne d in configuration file. 1 Product Name 2 Version Information in format:

wwww xxxx yyyy zzzz Where wwww is product code, xxxx is the revision, yyyy is the operating

system number and zzzz is the run number.

3 Manufacturer name for modul e.

Master Driver Mode

In the Master mode, the MVI69-DNP module is responsible for issuing read or write commands to slave devices on the DNP network. These commands are user-configured in the module via the Master Command List received from the processor or issued directly from the processor (command control). Command status is returned to the processor for each individual command in the command list status block. The following flow chart and associated table describe the flow of data into and out of the module.

Page 88 of 129 ProSoft Technology, Inc.

November 3, 2008

Reference MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module

Step Description

The Master driver obtains configuration data from the configuration file. The configuration data obtained includes the Master Slave and Command Lists. These values are used by the Master driver to determine the type of commands to be issued to other nodes on the DNP network.

After configuration, the Master driver begins transmitting read and/or write commands to the other nodes on the network. If writing data to another node, the data for the write command is obtained from the module's internal database to build the command.

Presuming successful processing by the node specified in the command, a response message is received into the Master driver for processing.

Data received from the node on the network is passed into the module's internal database, assuming a read command.

Status data is returned to the CompactLogix processor for each command in the Master Command List.

Refer to the Installing and Configuring the Module section for a complete description of the parameters required to define the virtual DNP Master port.

5.3 Cable Connections

The application ports on the MVI69-DNP module support RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 interfaces. Please inspect the module to ensure that the jumpers are set correctly to correspond with the type of interface you are using.

Note: When using RS-232 with radio modem applications, some radios or modems require

hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines). Enable this in the configuration of the module by setting the UseCTS parameter to 1.

5.3.1 RS-232 Configuration/Debug Port

This port is physically an RJ45 connection. An RJ45 to DB-9 adapter cable is included with the module. This port permits a PC based terminal emulation program to view configuration and status data in the module and to control the module. The cable for communications on this port is shown in the following diagram:

Disabling the RSLinx Driver for the Com Port on the PC

The communication port driver in RSLinx can occasionally prevent other applications from using the PC's COM port. If you are not able to connect to the module's configuration/debug port using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB), HyperTerminal or another terminal emulator, follow these steps to disable the RSLinx Driver.

1 Open RSLinx and go to Communications>RSWho 2 Make sure that you are not actively browsing using the driver that you wish to

stop. The following shows an actively browsed network:

3 Notice how the DF1 driver is opened, and the driver is looking for a processor

on node 1. If the network is being browsed, then you will not be able to stop this driver. To stop the driver your RSWho screen should look like this:

Branches are displayed or hidden by clicking on the

or the icons.

4 When you have verified that the driver is not being browsed, go to

Communications>Configure Drivers

You may see something like this:

If you see the status as running, you will not be able to use this com port for anything other than communication to the processor. To stop the driver press the "Stop" on the side of the window:

5 After you have stopped the driver you will see the following:

6 Upon seeing this, you may now use that com port to connect to the debug

port of the module.

Note: You may need to shut down and restart your PC before it will allow you to stop the driver

(usually only on Windows NT machines). If you have followed all of the above steps, and it will not stop the driver, then make sure you do not have RSLogix open. If RSLogix is not open, and you still cannot stop the driver, then reboot your PC.

5.3.2 RS-232

When the RS-232 interface is selected, the use of hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines) is user definable. If no hardware handshaking will be used, the cable to connect to the port is as shown below:

MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform Reference DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module

RS-232: Modem Connection

This type of connection is required between the module and a modem or other communication device.

The "Use CTS Line" parameter for the port configuration should be set to 'Y' for most modem applications.

RS-232: Null Modem Connection (Hardware Handshaking)

This type of connection is used when the device connected to the module requires hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines).

RS-232: Null Modem Connection (No Hardware Handshaking)

This type of connection can be used to connect the module to a computer or field device communication port.

Note: If the port is configured with the "Use CTS Line" set to 'Y', then a jumper is required between

the RTS and the CTS line on the module connection.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 93 of 129 November 3, 2008

MVI69-DNP ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform Reference DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Communication Module

5.3.4 RS-485

The RS-485 interface requires a single two or three wire cable. The Common connection is optional and dependent on the RS-485 network. The cable required for this interface is shown below:

Note: Terminating resistors are generally not required on the RS-485 network, unless you are

experiencing communication problems that can be attributed to signal echoes or reflections. In this case, install a 120 ohm terminating resistor on the RS-485 line.

RS-485 and RS-422 Tip

If communication in the RS-422/RS-485 mode does not work at first, despite all attempts, try switching termination polarities. Some manufacturers interpret +/and A/B polarities differently.
