Important Installation Instructions
Power, Input, and Output (I/O) wiring must be in accordance with Class I, Division 2 wiring methods, Article 501-4 (b) of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 for installation in the U.S., or as specified in Section 18-1J2 of the Canadian Electrical Code for installations in Canada, and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction. The following warnings must be heeded:
AWARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIV. 2;
BWARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - WHEN IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, TURN OFF POWER BEFORE REPLACING OR WIRING MODULES
CWARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
DTHIS DEVICE SHALL BE POWERED BY CLASS 2 OUTPUTS ONLY.
MVI (Multi Vendor Interface) Modules
WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
AVERTISSEMENT - RISQUE D'EXPLOSION - AVANT DE DÉCONNECTER L'ÉQUIPEMENT, COUPER LE COURANT OU S'ASSURER QUE L'EMPLACEMENT EST DÉSIGNÉ NON DANGEREUX.
Warnings
North America Warnings
AWarning - Explosion Hazard - Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.
BWarning - Explosion Hazard - When in hazardous locations, turn off power before replacing or rewiring modules. Warning - Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.
CSuitable for use in Class I, Division 2 Groups A, B, C and D Hazardous Locations or Non-Hazardous Locations.
ATEX Warnings and Conditions of Safe Usage
Power, Input, and Output (I/O) wiring must be in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.
AWarning - Explosion Hazard - When in hazardous locations, turn off power before replacing or wiring modules.
BWarning - Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
CThese products are intended to be mounted in an IP54 enclosure. The devices shall provide external means to
prevent the rated voltage being exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 40%. This device must be used only with ATEX certified backplanes.
DDO NOT OPEN WHEN ENERGIZED.
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.
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.

MVI69-MCM ♦ CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform |
User Manual |
Modbus Communication Module |
|
|
1.1System Requirements
The MVI69-MCM module requires the following minimum hardware and software components:
Rockwell Automation CompactLogix or MicroLogix processor, with compatible power supply and one free slot in the rack, for the MVI69-MCM module. The module requires 800 mA of available power.
Important: The MVI69-MCM module has a power supply distance rating of 2 (L43 and L45 installations on first 2 slots of 1769 bus).
Important: For 1769-L23x processors, please make note of the following limitations.
1769-L23-QBFC1B = 800 mA at 5 Vdc (One MVI69-MCM will use all 800 mA of available power. No other modules can be used with an MVI69 module connected to this processor.)
1769-L23E-QB1B = 1000 mA at 5 Vdc (One MVI69-MCM will use 800 mA of available power. One other module can be used on this rack provided it consumes less than 200 mA at 5 Vdc.)
1769-L23E-QBFC1B = 450 mA at 5 Vdc (No MVI69 module can be used with this processor.)
Rockwell Automation RSLogix 5000 (CompactLogix) or RSLogix 500
(MicroLogix) programming software
Rockwell Automation RSLinx communication software
Pentium® II 450 MHz minimum. Pentium III 733 MHz (or better) recommended
Supported operating systems:
o Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 or 2
o Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 1, 2, or 3 o Microsoft Windows Server 2003
128 Mbytes of RAM minimum, 256 Mbytes of RAM recommended
100 Mbytes of free hard disk space (or more based on application

1.3Installing ProSoft Configuration Builder Software
You must install the ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software to configure the module. You can always get the newest version of ProSoft Configuration Builder from the ProSoft Technology website.
Installing ProSoft Configuration Builder from the ProSoft website
1 Open your web browser and navigate to http://www.prosoft-
technology.com/pcb
2Click the DOWNLOAD HERE link to download the latest version of ProSoft
Configuration Builder.
3Choose SAVE or SAVE FILE when prompted.
4Save the file to your Windows Desktop, so that you can find it easily when you have finished downloading.
5When the download is complete, locate and open the file, and then follow the instructions on your screen to install the program.
If you do not have access to the Internet, you can install ProSoft Configuration Builder from the ProSoft Solutions Product CD-ROM, included in the package with your module.
Installing ProSoft Configuration Builder from the Product CD-ROM
1Insert the ProSoft Solutions Product CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your
PC. Wait for the startup screen to appear.
2On the startup screen, click PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION. This action opens a
Windows Explorer file tree window.
3Click to open the UTILITIES folder. This folder contains all of the applications
and files you will need to set up and configure your module.
4Double-click the SETUP CONFIGURATION TOOL folder, double-click the PCB_*.EXE file and follow the instructions on your screen to install the software on your PC. The information represented by the "*" character in the file name is the PCB version number and, therefore, subject to change as new versions of PCB are released.
Note: Many of the configuration and maintenance procedures use files and other utilities on the CD-ROM. You may wish to copy the files from the Utilities folder on the CD-ROM to a convenient location on your hard drive.

1.4Setting Jumpers
When the module is manufactured, the port selection jumpers are set to RS-232. To use RS-422 or RS-485, you must set the jumpers to the correct position. The following diagram describes the jumper settings.
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.

1.5Install the Module in the Rack
This section describes how to install the module into a CompactLogix or MicroLogix rack
Before you attempt to install the module, make sure that the bus lever of the adjacent module is in the unlocked (fully right) position.
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.
1Align the module using the upper and lower tongue-and-groove slots with the adjacent module and slide forward in the direction of the arrow.
2Move the module back along the tongue-and-groove slots until the bus connectors on the MVI69 module and the adjacent module line up with each other.

2.1.3 Import the Ladder Rung
1Open your application in RSLogix 5000.
2To create a new routine, expand the TASKS folder, and then expand the MAIN TASK folder.
3On the MAIN PROGRAM folder, click the right mouse button to open a shortcut menu. On the shortcut menu, choose NEW ROUTINE.
4In the NEW ROUTINE dialog box, enter the name and description of your routine, and then click OK. In this example we are demonstrating the importing of the ladder rung using the default MainRoutine. In the case where you create a routine by an other name for placing the Add-On instruction, then in your original routine where your other ladder logic is located you need
to add a rung with a jump instruction to the new routine holding the Add-On instruction.
5Select an empty rung in the new routine, and then click the right mouse button to open a shortcut menu. On the shortcut menu, choose "IMPORT
RUNG…".
