This section contains the setup procedure, data and ladder logic requirements for
successful application of the MVI46-PDPS module. Each step in the setup
procedure is defined in order to simplify the use of the module. Additionally, this
document contains a discussion on configuring the module using the PDPS.CFG
file. All configuration information used by the module is stored in this file. Go to
the Configuration File section to begin setting up this file.
The document also contains a discussion of the data areas defined for the
module. These areas contain the read and write data from the module and status
related to the module. It is important to understand each element of the data
areas for proper application of the module. Go to the Module Data Object (page
21) section for the presentation of the data areas.
2.1 Installing and Configuring the Module
This chapter describes how to install and configure the module to work with your
application. The configuration process consists of the following steps.
1
Use RSLogix to identify the module to the processor and add the module to a
project.
Note: The RSLogix software must be in "offline" mode to add the module to a project.
2
Modify the module's configuration files to meet the needs of your application,
and copy the updated configuration to the module. Example configuration
files are provided on the CD-ROM. Refer to the Modifying the Example
Configuration File section, later in this chapter, for more information on the
configuration files.
3
Modify the example ladder logic to meet the needs of your application, and
copy the ladder logic to the processor. Example ladder logic files are provided
on the CD-ROM.
