Battery Life Advisory
The modules use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to back up 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. The battery is not user
replaceable.

1 Before You Begin
This section describes the pre-configuration process. There are a small number of tasks
to complete before configuring your project.
1.1 Pre-Configuration Requirements
Before you start to configure the MVI56E-AFC (ControlLogix) or MVI69E-AFC
(CompactLogix), you need the following items:
Download the EAFC Manager software.
Download the MVI56E-AFC or MVI69E-AFC Add-On Instructions (AOIs)
1.1.1 Downloading EAFC Manager
The software can be downloaded from www.prosoft-technology.com.
1 Navigate to the appropriate MVI56E-AFC or MVI69E-AFC web page.
2 Click on the DOWNLOADS tab.
3 Click on the PROSOFT EAFC MANAGER link and follow the prompts to download and
install the application.
1.1.2 Downloading AOIs
1 Navigate to the appropriate MVI56E-AFC or MVI69E-AFC web page.
2 Click on the DOWNLOADS tab.
3 Select MVI56E-AFC or MVI69E-AFC ADD ON INSTRUCTIONS link. The AOIs are
downloaded as a .zip file.
The .zip file contains the Main AOI as well as four additional AOIs that pertain to your
meter application. The four additional AOIs include:
Linear Gas
(MVIxxE-AFC_AddOn_Rung_MeterLinearGas_vx_x.L5X)
Linear Liquid
(MVIxxE-AFC_AddOn_Rung_MeterLinearLiquid_vx_x.L5X)
Differential Liquid
(MVIxxE-AFC_AddOn_Rung_MeterDifferentialLiquid_vx_x.L5X)
Differential Gas
(MVIxxE-AFC_AddOn_Rung_MeterDifferentialGas)vx_x.L5X)
Locate the Main AOI and the AOI file that pertains to your meter type. You will use these
files when you set up your RSLogix project later in this guide.

1.2 Supported Meters
Both the MVI56E-AFC and MVI69E support the following meters:
Turbine
Positive displacement
Magnetic
Orifice
V-cone
Wedge
Vortex
Ultrasonic
Coriolis
Thermal mass
Note: Due to the broad range of meters in the market today, refer to the manufacturer specification to
evaluate the use of the module (even if listed here).
1.3 Locating Information for Your Meter
While much of the information in this guide pertains to all types of meters, certain
sections apply only to particular types. To locate configuration information specific to
your meter, refer to the following table:

1.5 Modbus Dictionary
Important: Although this manual is continuously maintained to bring you the latest information, the Modbus
Dictionary contains the latest information on registers and dictionary sections. It is recommended that you
use the Modbus Dictionary to locate bank and register values to ensure that you are looking at the latest
information.
1.5.1 About the Modbus Dictionary
The Modbus dictionary (PROJECT > MODBUS DICTIONARY) provides a means to locate
data anywhere in the module. The dictionary allows you to select various data types
from database regions. It then displays the Modbus bank and register values.
You can use the Modbus Dictionary locally or while EAFC Manager is directly connected
to the module.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 15 of 151
1.5.2 Accessing and Using the Modbus Dictionary
Tip: Ensure that you have a suitable project loaded, paying attention to its version. This ensures that the
dictionary items present for your module are available for display.
1 In EAFC Manger, from the PROJECT tab, select MODBUS DICTIONARY.
The Modbus Dictionary displays.
3 In the Source Configuration area, select Local if you are running the dictionary locally
or On-line if you are connected to the module.
4 Select the Dictionary Section from the dropdown list. Each section provides data
from a different section of the module.

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 17 of 151
Tip: The Search box allows you to search for specific data. The search is applied to entries in the
Description column and is not case sensitive.
8 Once a row is selected, additional information is displayed at the bottom of the window.

9 Observe the Bank and Reg information in the first column. This column may contain a
number of items with different representations.
In the first row, the first position indicates whether the register is a Holding Register
(H-) or an Input Register (I-), the second position represents the register (8000). The
third position indicates high order bytes (H), low order bytes (L), multiple registers (*),
and a plus sign (+) indicates that there are two registers (used for 32-bit quantities,
i.e., long integer and floating point elements).
If SHOW BITS is checked, a number in the third position is the bit number. For Datum
Type “String”, each register holds two characters.
