1.3 Setting Jumpers
When the module is manufactured, the port selection jumpers are set to RS-232.
To use RS-422 or RS-485, you must set the jumpers to the correct position. The
following diagram describes the jumper settings.
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.

1.4 Installing the Module
This section describes how to install the module into a CompactLogix or
MicroLogix rack
Before you attempt to install the module, make sure that the bus lever of the
adjacent module is in the unlocked (fully right) position.
Warning: This module is not hot-swappable! Always remove power from the rack before
inserting or removing this module, or damage may result to the module, the processor, or other
connected devices.
1 Align the module using the upper and lower tongue-and-groove slots with the
adjacent module and slide forward in the direction of the arrow.
2 Move the module back along the tongue-and-groove slots until the bus
connectors on the MVI69 module and the adjacent module line up with each
other.

1.6 Download the Sample Program to the Processor
To download the sample program from RSLogix 5000 to the CompactLogix processor:
Note: The key switch on the front of the CompactLogix processor must be in the REM position.
1 If you are not already online to the processor, open the Communications
menu, and then choose Download. RSLogix will establish communication
with the processor.
2 When communication is established, RSLogix will open a confirmation dialog
box. Click the Download button to transfer the sample program to the
processor.
3 RSLogix will compile the program and transfer it to the processor. This
process may take a few minutes.
4 When the download is complete, RSLogix will open another confirmation
dialog box. Click OK to switch the processor from Program mode to Run
mode.
Note: If you receive an error message during these steps, refer to your RSLogix documentation to
interpret and correct the error.

1.6.1 Configuring RSLinx
If RSLogix is unable to establish communication with the processor, follow these steps:
1 Open RSLinx.
2 Open the Communications menu, and choose Configure Drivers.
This action opens the Configure Drivers dialog box.
Note: If the list of configured drivers is blank, you must first choose and configure a driver from the
Available Driver Types list. The recommended driver type to choose for serial communication with
the processor is "RS-232 DF1 Devices".

4 Click the Auto-Configure button. RSLinx will attempt to configure your serial
port to work with the selected driver.
5 When you see the message "Auto Configuration Successful", click the OK
button to dismiss the dialog box.
Note: If the auto-configuration procedure fails, verify that the cables are connected correctly
between the processor and the serial port on your computer, and then try again. If you are still
unable to auto-configure the port, refer to your RSLinx documentation for further troubleshooting
steps.

2.1 Installing and Configuring the Module with a CompactLogix
Processor
If you are installing and configuring the module with a CompactLogix processor,
follow these steps. If you are using a MicroLogix processor, refer to the next
section.
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.

The first step in setting up the processor ladder file is to define the I/O type
module to the system. Right-click the mouse button on the I/O Configuration
option in the Controller Organization window to display a pop-up menu. Select
the New Module… option from the I/O Configuration menu.
This action opens the Select Module Type dialog box.
Select the 1769-Module (Generic 1769 Module) from the list and click OK.
You should configure the Connection Parameters according to the Block Transfer
Size parameter in the configuration file as follows:
