To get the most benefit from this User Manual, you should have the following skills:
Rockwell Automation®Studio 5000 software: launch the program, configure
ladder logic, and transfer the ladder logic to the processor
Microsoft Windows®:install and launch programs, execute menu commands,
navigate dialog boxes, and enter data
Hardware installation and wiring: install the module, and safely connect FMC722
TPU and ControlLogix devices to a power source and to the MVI56E-SMGC
module’s application port(s)
1.1 System Requirements
The MVI56E-SMGC module requires the following minimum hardware and software
components:
Rockwell Automation ControlLogix®processor (firmware version 10 or higher) with
compatible limited voltage power supply and one free slot in the rack for the MVI56E-
SMGC module. The module requires 800mA of available 5 VDC and 3 mA of
available 24 VDC power.
Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 programming software
oVersion 16 or higher required for Add-On Instruction
oVersion 15 or lower must use Sample Ladder, available from www.prosoft-
technology.com
Rockwell Automation RSLinx®communication software version 2.51 or higher
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) (included)
Pentium®II 450 MHz minimum. Pentium III 733 MHz (or better) recommended
Supported operating systems:
oMicrosoft Windows 10 Pro x64
oMicrosoft Windows 7 Professional x64
oMicrosoft Windows 7 Professional x86
oMicrosoft Windows XP Pro SP2
100 Mbytes of free hard disk space (or more based on application requirements)
Note: The Hardware and Operating System requirements in this list are the minimum recommended to
install and run software provided by ProSoft Technology®. Other third party applications may have different
minimum requirements. Refer to the documentation for any third party applications for system requirements.
Note: You can install the module in a local or remote rack. For remote rack installation, the module requires
EtherNet/IP or ControlNet communication with the processor.

1.2 Setting Jumpers
The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module’s firmware. In "write
protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module’s firmware cannot
be overwritten. The module is shipped with the Setup jumper OFF. Do not jumper the
Setup pins together unless you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support (or
you want to update the module firmware).
The following illustration shows the MVI56E-SMGC jumper configuration with the Setup
Jumper OFF.
Note: If you are installing the module in a remote rack, you may prefer to leave the Setup pins jumpered.
You can update the module’s firmware without requiring physical access to the module.
Security considerations:
Leaving the Setup pin jumpered leaves the module open to unexpected firmware updates.
You should consider segmenting the data flow for security reasons. Per IEC 62443-1-1, you should align
with IEC 62443 and implement segmentation of the control system. Relevant capabilities are firewalls,
unidirectional communication, DMZ. Oil and Gas customers should also see DNVGL-RP-G108 for guidance
on partitioning.
You should practice security by design, per IEC 62443-4-1, including layers of security and detection. The
module relies on overall network security design, as it is only one component of what should be a defined
zone or subnet.

1.3 Installing the Module in the Rack
Make sure your ControlLogix processor and power supply are installed and configured,
before installing the MVI56E-SMGC module. Refer to your Rockwell Automation product
documentation for installation instructions.
Warning: You must follow all safety instructions when installing this or any other electronic devices. Failure
to follow safety procedures could result in damage to hardware or data, or even serious injury or death to
personnel. Refer to the documentation for each device you plan to connect to verify that suitable safety
procedures are in place before installing or servicing the device.
After you have checked the placement of the jumpers, insert the MVI56E-SMGC into the
ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended by Rockwell Automation
to remove and install ControlLogix modules.
Warning: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur.
An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by sending an erroneous signal to the
system’s actuators. This can cause unintended machine motion or loss of process control. Electrical arcs
may also cause an explosion when they happen in a hazardous environment. Verify that power is removed
or the area is non-hazardous before proceeding.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector.
Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.
Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working or may behave unpredictably.
Note: When using the XT version (if applicable), you must use the 1756-A5XT or 1756-A7LXT chassis to
uphold the XT specifications. In these chassis, modules are spaced further apart than in standard
ControlLogix chassis. Blank spacers are inserted between active modules.

1.3.1 Before You Import the Add-On Instruction
Note: This section only applies if your processor is using Studio 5000 version 16 or higher.
An optional Add-On Instruction file is provided for the MVI56E-SMGC module. The main
logic will be provided as a ladder logic file (not Add-On Instruction).
Download the files from www.prosoft-technology.com. Save them to a convenient
location in your PC, such as Desktop or My Documents.
File Name
Description
MVI56ESMGC_Optional_AddOn_Rung_v1_x.L5X.
A newer version may be available at:
www.prosoft-technology.com
Optional L5X file containing additional Add-
On Instruction with logic for changing
Ethernet configuration and clock settings.
1.3.1.1 About the Optional Add-On Instruction
The Optional Add-On Instruction performs the following tasks:
Read/Write Ethernet Configuration
Allows the processor to read or write the module IP address, subnet mask, and
network gateway IP address.
Read/Write Module Clock Value
Allows the processor to read and write the module clock settings. The module's free-
running clock also stores the last time that the Ethernet configuration was changed
or the last time the module was restarted or rebooted. The date and time of the last
change or restart is displayed on the scrolling LED during module power-up/start-up
sequence.
Note: You can also set the date and time from the module's web page.
Important: The Optional Add-On Instruction supports only the two features listed above. You must use the
regular MVI56E-SMGC Add-On Instruction for all other features including backplane transfer and FMC722
TPU data communication.
