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.

1.4 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 illustration shows the MVI69-HART jumper configuration.
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

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 D
EFAULT MODULE
in the tree view, and then click the
right mouse button to open a shortcut menu.

2.2 MVI69-HART Configuration File
The configuration file for MVI69-HART consists of the following sections.
Section Description
[MODULE] General module level parameters
[HART PORT 0] HART Port (Channel) 0 configuration parameters
[HART PORT 0 COMMANDS] HART command list for Port (Channel) 0
[HART PORT 1] HART Port (Channel) 1 configuration parameters
[HART PORT 1 COMMANDS] HART command list for Port (Channel) 1
2.2.1 [MODULE]
The [Module] section contains the data that applies to the whole module and
includes the backplane data transfer parameters.
Module Name
0 to 80 characters
This parameter assigns a name to the module that can be viewed using the
configuration/debug port. Use this parameter to identify the module and the
configuration file.
Block Transfer Size
60, 120 or 240
This read-only parameter specifies the number of words of user data transferred
in each block between the module and processor.
Read Register Start
0 to 3999
This parameter specifies the starting register address of a block of data registers
to transfer from the module to the processor. This will be used for data brought
into the processor from other nodes on the network.
Write Register Count
0 to 4000
This parameter specifies the number of registers to transfer from the processor to
the module.
Write Register Start
0 to 3999
This parameter specifies the starting register address of a module register block
where data transferred from the processor will be stored. This will be used for
data to be sent from the processor to other nodes on the network.

User Manual HART Multi-drop Master Communication Module
Write Register Count
Range 0 to 4000
This parameter specifies the number of registers to transfer from the processor to
the module. Valid entry for this parameter is 0 to 4000.
Error/Status Offset
-1 or 0 to 3935
This parameter defines the database location where the module status data will
be stored. If set to -1, data not placed in database.
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.
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.
2.2.2 [HART PORT x]
The [HART PORT x] sections of the configuration file set the HART channel
communication parameters, define the protocol specifics and set the command
list parameters. The parameters are the same for all ports. The command list for
each HART channel is entered in a different section of the file.
Enabled
Y or N
This parameter enables or disables the specific HART channel. If the parameter
is set to "Y", the channel will be utilized. If set to "N", the channel will not be used.
Preambles
5 to 20
This parameter sets the number of preambles to be transmitted before each
message is sent from the channel. The value of 5 is normally utilized for the
parameter. It can be set to a value from 5 to 20.
