Battery Life Advisory
The MVI46, MVI56, MVI56E, MVI69, and MVI71 modules use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to
backup the real-time clock and CMOS. The battery should last for the life of the module. The module must be
powered for approximately twenty hours before the battery becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged, the battery
provides backup power for the CMOS setup and the real-time clock for approximately 21 days. When the battery is
fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS and clock settings.
Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

1.4 Setting Jumpers
The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module’s flash memory. In
"write protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module’s
firmware cannot be overwritten. Do not jumper the Setup pins together unless
you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support.
The following illustration shows the MVI56-GEC jumper configuration.
Note: If you are installing the module in a remote rack, you may prefer to leave the Setup pins
jumpered. That way, you can update the module’s firmware without requiring physical access to
the module.

1.5 Installing the Module in the Rack
If you have not already installed and configured your ControlLogix processor and
power supply, please do so before installing the MVI56-GEC 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 MVI56-GEC 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. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. 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.
1 Turn power OFF.
2 Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and slide it into the rack
until the module is firmly against the backplane connector.
3 With a firm but steady push, snap the module into place.
4 Check that the holding clips on the top and bottom of the module are securely
in the locking holes of the rack.
5 Make a note of the slot location. You must identify the slot in which the
module is installed in order for the sample program to work correctly. Slot
numbers are identified on the green circuit board (backplane) of the
ControlLogix rack.
6 Turn power ON.

1.7 Opening the Sample Ladder Logic
The sample program for your MVI56-GEC module includes custom tags, data
types and ladder logic for data I/O and status monitoring. For most applications,
you can run the sample ladder program without modification, or, for advanced
applications, you can incorporate the sample program into your existing
application.
The inRAx Solutions CD provides one or more versions of the sample ladder
logic. The version number appended to the file name corresponds with the
firmware version number of your ControlLogix processor. The firmware version
and sample program version must match.
1.7.1 Determining the Firmware Version of Your Processor
Important: The RSLinx service must be installed and running on your computer in order for
RSLogix to communicate with the processor. Refer to your RSLinx and RSLogix documentation for
help configuring and troubleshooting these applications.
1 Connect an RS-232 serial cable from the COM (serial) port on your PC to the
communication port on the front of the processor.
2 Start RSLogix 5000 and close any existing project that may be loaded.
3 Open the C OMMUNICATIONS menu and choose G O O NLINE . RSLogix will
establish communication with the processor. This may take a few moments.
