The purpose of this section of the User Manual is to show the MVI56E-FLN
functionality through a typical real-world application. For this example application,
the MVI56E-FLN is shown communicating with a Toyoda FL/ET-T-V2
communication module that transfers the data to a TOYODA PC3JG-P processor
located on the same rack.
For this example, the MVI56E-FLN node address is 40, and the FL/ET-T-V2
module node address is 10.

Using ProSoft Configuration Builder Software
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB)
provides a quick and easy way to manage
module configuration files customized to meet your application needs.
PCB
is not
only a powerful solution for new configuration files, but also allows you to import
information from previously installed (known working) configurations to new
projects.
Note:
During startup and initialization, the MVI56E-FLN module receives its
protocol and backplane configuration information from the installed Personality
Module (Compact Flash). Use
ProSoft Configuration Builder
to configure module
settings and to download changes to the Personality Module.
