without any modification.
Which slot number in the chassis does the MVI69E-MBS module occupy?
For communication to occur, you must enter the correct slot number in the sample
program.
Are the Studio 5000 and RSLinx software installed?
RSLogix and RSLinx are required to communicate to the CompactLogix or
MicroLogix 1500-LRP processor.
How many words of data do you need to transfer in your application (from
CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP to Module / to CompactLogix or MicroLogix
1500-LRP from Module)?
Is this module replacing an existing legacy MVI69-MCM module (refer to section
