Configuring the Module in RSLogix
To add the MVI69E-MBS module in Studio 5000, you must:
1
Create a new project in Studio 5000.
2
Add the module to the Studio 5000 project. There are two ways to do this:
o
You can use the Add-On Profile from ProSoft Technology. This is the preferred
way, but requires RSLogix version 15 or later.
o
You can manually create the module using a generic 1769 profile, and then
manually configure the module parameters. Use this method if you have RSLogix
version 14 or earlier.
3
Create an Add-On Instruction file using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) and
export the Add-On Instruction to an Studio 5000 compatible file (.L5X file).
4
Import the Add-On Instruction (the .L5X file) into Studio 5000.
The .L5X file contains the Add-On Instruction, user-defined data types, controller tags
and ladder logic required to configure the MVI69E-MBS module.
2.1
Creating the Module in an Studio 5000 Project
In an Studio 5000 project, there are two ways you can add the MVI69E-MBS module to
the project.
You can use an Add-On Profile (AOP) from ProSoft Technology. The AOP contains
all the configuration information needed to add the module to the project. This is the
preferred way, but requires RSLogix version 15 or later. Refer to Creating a Module
in the Project Using an Add-On Profile (page 15).
If using an AOP is not an option, you can manually create and configure the module
using a generic 1769 profile. Use this method if you have RSLogix version 14 or
earlier. Refer to Creating a Module in the Project Using a Generic 1769 Module
Profile (page 19).
