An RPI time of the default 5.0 ms will work well for the MVI56-MCM module in
a local I/O rack. If the module is being used in a remote rack over Control Net
(for Redundancy systems for example) then this RPI time must be raised to
values between 20 and 100 ms in most applications. Also ProSoft has a
module that is specifically designed for this application, the MVI56-MCMR
module. Contact Technical Support for more information about this module
and other options.

When you have finished setting the RPI times, click the
button to
save the module configuration and dismiss the dialog box.
