1.2 Deployment Checklist
Before configuring the module, consider the following questions.
1 ____________ Is this a new application or an integration into an existing
application?
Most applications will use the Sample Add-On Instruction without any edits.
2 ____________ What slot number in the rack will the MVI69L-MBTCP module
occupy?
3 ____________ Are RSLogix 5000 and RSLinx software installed?
RSLogix and RSLinx are required to communicate to the CompactLogix
processor.
4 ____________ How many words of data are needed to transfer in the
application (from CompactLogix to Module / to CompactLogix from Module)?
1.3 Package Contents
The following components are included with the MVI69L-MBTCP module, and
are all required for installation and configuration.
Important: Before beginning the installation, please verify all of the following items are present.
If any of these components are missing, please contact ProSoft Technology
Support for replacement parts.

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.
1 Align the module using the upper and lower tongue-and-groove slots with the
adjacent module and slide forward in the direction of the arrow.

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.
