1.4 Setup Jumper
The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module’s firmware. In "write
protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module’s firmware
cannot be overwritten. The module is shipped with the Setup jumper OFF. If an
update of the firmware is needed, apply the Setup jumper to both pins.
The following illustration shows the MVI69L-MBTCP jumper configuration, with
the Setup Jumper OFF.

1.5 Installing the Module in the Rack
Make sure the processor and power supply are installed and configured before
installing the MVI69L-MBTCP module. Refer to the Rockwell Automation product
documentation for installation instructions.
Warning: Please 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 to be connected to verify
that suitable safety procedures are in place before installing or servicing the device.
After the jumper placements are verified, insert the MVI69L-MBTCP into the rack.
Use the same technique recommended by Rockwell Automation to remove and
install CompactLogix modules.
Warning: This module is not hot-swappable! Always remove power from the rack before
inserting or removing this module, or damage may result to the module, the processor, or other
connected devices.

2.4 Creating the Module in an RSLogix 5000 Project
In an RSLogix 5000 project, an Add-On Profile (AOP) can be used to specifically
identify the MVI69L-MBTCP when selecting the type of module to be installed in
slot x. Add-On Profiles are supported in RSLogix 5000 version 15 and newer.
If using an AOP is not an option, please see page 29 to install the module using
a Generic 1769 Module profile.
2.4.1 Installing an Add-On Profile
Download the MPSetup.exe file from the product webpage or DVD onto the local
hard drive. Make sure RSLogix 5000 and RSLinx has been shut down before
installing the AOP.
Run the MPSetup.exe file to start the Setup Wizard. Follow the Setup Wizard to
properly install the AOP.
