USER MANUAL
Please Read This Notice
Successful application of this module requires a reasonable working knowledge of the Rockwell Automation
CompactLogix or MicroLogix hardware, the MVI69-DNPSNET Module and the applic ation in which the combination is
to be used. For this reason, it is important that those responsible for implementation satisfy themselves that the
combination will meet the needs of the application without exposing personnel or equipment to unsafe or
inappropriate working conditions.
This manual is provided to assist the user. Every attempt has been made to ensure that the information provided is
accurate and a true reflection of the product's installation requirements. In order to ensure a complete understanding
of the operation of the product, the user should read all applicable Rockwell Automation documentation on the
operation of the Rockwell Automation hardware.
Under no conditions will ProSoft Technology be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting
from the use or application of the product.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission from ProSoft Technology
is prohibited.
Information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of
ProSoft Technology Improvements and/or changes in this manual or the product may be made at any time. These
changes will be made periodically to correct technical inaccuracies or typograp hica l errors.
Battery Life Advisory
All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 51 2K 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.

device. Each point will occupy a two-word area in the module memory. This
number corresponds to the number of frozen counters. The application maps the
counters to the frozen counters directly. Valid values are 0 to 250 points.
2.3.7 Binary Outputs
0 to 500 words
Number of digital output points to configure in the DNP slave device based on a
word count. Each word stores 16 points. Therefore, if the parameter is set to 2,
32 binary outputs will be defined for the application.
2.3.8 Analog Outputs
0 to 500 points
Number of analog output points to configure in the DNP slave device. Each point
will occupy a one word area in the module memory.
2.3.9 Float Outputs
0 to 150 points
Number of floating-point output points to configure in the DNP slave device. Each
point will occupy a two- word area in the module memory.

2.3.10 BI Class
0=disable, else 1 to 3
This parameter specifies the default class to be utilized for all the binary input
points in the DNP database that are not defined in the override list section.
2.3.11 AI Class
0=disable, else 1 to 3
This parameter specifies the default class to be utilized for all the analog input
points in the DNP database that are not defined in the override list section.
2.3.12 Float Class
0=disable, else 1 to 3
This parameter specifies the default class to be utilized for all the floating-point
input points in the DNP database that are not defined in the override list section.
2.3.13 AI Deadband
0 to 32767 data units
This value sets the global deadband for all analog input points. When the current
value for an analog input point is not within the deadband limit set based on the
last event for the point, an event will be generated.
2.3.14 Float Deadband
0 to 32767 data units
This parameter specifies the default deadband value assigned to all points not
defined in the override list for the floating-point input point type in the DNP
database.
2.3.15 Select/Operate Arm Time
1 to 65535 milliseconds
This parameter sets the time period after select command received in which
operate command will be performed. After the select command is received, the
operate command will only be honored if it arrives within this period of time. Valid
arm timeout values are 1 to 65535 milliseconds. This example shows the value
set to 2000 milliseconds.
2.3.16 Write Time Interval
0 to 1440 minutes
This parameter sets the time interval to set the need time IIN bit (0=never), which
will cause the master to write the time. Stored in milliseconds in the module
memory.

2.3.17 App Layer Confirm Tout
1 to 65535 milliseconds
Event data contained in the last response may be sent again if not confirmed
within the millisecond time period set. If application layer confirms are used with
data link confirms, ensure that the application layer confirm timeout is set long
enough.
2.3.18 Unsolicited Response
Yes or No
This parameter is set if the slave unit will send unsolicited response messages. If
set to N, the slave will not send unsolicited responses. If set to Y, the slave will
send unsolicited responses.
2.3.19 Class 1 Unsol Resp Min
1 to 255 events
Minimum number of events in Class 1 required before an unsolicited response
will be generated.
2.3.20 Class 2 Unsol Resp Min
1 to 255 events
Minimum number of events in Class 2 required before an unsolicited response
will be generated.
2.3.21 Class 3 Unsol Resp Min
1 to 255 events
Minimum number of events in Class 3 required before an unsolicited response
will be generated.
2.3.22 Unsol Resp Delay
0 to 65535 milliseconds
Maximum number of 1 millisecond intervals to wait after an event occurs before
sending an unsolicited response message. If set to 0, only use minimum number
of events.
2.3.23 Uresp Master Address
0 to 65534
DNP destination address where unsolicited response messages are sent.
