USER MANUAL

Please Read This Notice
Successful application of this module requires a reasonable working knowledge of the Rockwell Automation
CompactLogix or MicroLogix hardware, the MVI69-S3964R Module and the application in which the combination is to
be used. For this reason, it is important that those responsible for implementation satisfy themselves that the
combination will meet the needs of the application without exposing personnel or equipment to unsafe or
inappropriate working conditions.
This manual is provided to assist the user. Every attempt has been made to ensure that the information provided is
accurate and a true reflection of the product's installation requirements. In order to ensure a complete understanding
of the operation of the product, the user should read all applicable Rockwell Automation documentation on the
operation of the Rockwell Automation hardware.
Under no conditions will ProSoft Technology be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting
from the use or application of the product.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission from ProSoft Technology
is prohibited.
Information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of
ProSoft Technology Improvements and/or changes in this manual or the product may be made at any time. These
changes will be made periodically to correct technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.
Battery Life Advisory
All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 512K SRAM
memory, 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 it becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged,
the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and configuration data, the real-time clock, and the 512K
SRAM memory for approximately 21 days.
Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged. A fully
charged battery will hold the BIOS settings (after being removed from its power source) for a limited number of days.
When the battery is fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS settings.
Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

Installing the MVI69-S3964R module requires a reasonable working knowledge
of the Rockwell Automation hardware, the MVI69-S3964R Module and the
application in which they will be used.
Caution: It is important that those responsible for implementation can complete the
application without exposing personnel, or equipment, to unsafe or inappropriate working
conditions. Safety, quality and experience are key factors in a successful installation.
1.1 System Requirements
The MVI69-S3964R module requires the following minimum hardware and
software components:
Rockwell Automation CompactLogix or MicroLogix processor, with
compatible power supply and one free slot in the rack, for the MVI69-S3964R
module. The module requires 800mA of available power.
Important: The MVI69-S3964R module has a power supply distance rating of 2 (L43 and L45
installations on first 2 slots of 1769 bus).
Important: For 1769-L23x processors, please make note of the following limitations.
1769-L23-QBFC1B = 800mA at 5Vdc (1 MVI69-S3964R will use all 800mA of available power.
No other modules can be used with an MVI69 module connected to this processor).
1769-L23E-QB1B = 1000mA at 5Vdc (1 MVI69-S3964R will use 800mA of available power.
One other module can be used on this rack provided it consumes less than 200mA at 5Vdc.
1769-L23E-QBFC1B = 450mA at 5Vdc (no MVI69 module can be used with this processor)
Rockwell Automation RSLogix 5000 (CompactLogix) or RSLogix 500
