This section contains the setup procedure, data, and ladder logic for successful
application of the MVI46-GEC module. Each step in the setup procedure is
defined in order to simplify the use of the module.
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.
Note: If you are installing this module in an existing application, you can copy the necessary
elements from the example ladder logic into your application.
The rest of this chapter describes these steps in more detail.
