USER MANUAL

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 PS69-DPS module requires a reasonable working knowledge of the
Rockwell Automation hardware, the PS69-DPS 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.
The PS69-DPS module expands the functionality of Rockwell Automation’s
CompactLogix to include PROFIBUS DP V0/V1. The PS69-DPS is a more cost-
effective option offering more features than the MVI69-PDPS, and supports both
I/O control and messaging. Explicit ladder logic CIP message blocks provide
slave status diagnostic data and acyclic messaging.
The PS69-DPS interface appears to the CompactLogix controller as a standard
I/O module allowing it to be configured via RSLogix5000, or configuration can be
transferred from the Master to the PS69-DPS. For third party configuration a
GSD file is supplied. The slave interface possesses a diagnostic interface and
has rotary switches for setting of the bus address. Complete program examples
for simple and quick start-up are available.
Each module is equipped with LEDs to display communication and device status.

1.4 Programmable Controller Functionality
PROFIBUS-DP supports acyclic services through messages. These PROFIBUS-
DP services are supported by the RSLogix5000 programming tool using CIP
messages. Not all of the 1769 Programmable Controllers support CIP
messaging. If your Controller does not support messaging, these services are not
available.
The basic PROFIBUS-DP acyclic services Global Control or Slave Diag request
are also executable in addition to the CIP method by using the I/O area. Follows
is a matrix of 1769 Programmable Controllers and the functionality that they
support.

1.6 Install the Module in the Rack
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 PS69 module and the adjacent module line up with each
other.

communications port.
2 Connect the straight connector end of the cable to the serial port on your
computer.
1.8 Download the Sample Program to the Processor
Important: For most applications, the sample program will work without modification.
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.
1.8.1 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.

Start Here PS69-DPS ♦CompactLogix or MicroLogix Platform

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".
3 Click to select the driver, and then click Configure. This action opens the
Configure Allen-Bradley DF1 Communications Device dialog box.
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.

2.1.3 Import the Ladder Rung.
1 Open your application in RSLogix 5000.
2 To Create a new routine, expand the Tasks folder, and then expand the Main
Task folder.
3 On the Main Program folder, click the right mouse button to open a shortcut
menu. On the shortcut menu, choose New Routine.
4 In the New Routine dialog box, enter the name and description of your
routine, and then click OK. In this example we are demonstrating the
importing of the ladder rung using the default MainRoutine. In the case where
you create a routine by an other name for placing the Add-On instruction,
then in your original routine where your other ladder logic is located you need
to add a rung with a jump instruction to the new routine holding the Add-On
instruction.
5 Select an empty rung in the new routine, and then click the right mouse
button to open a shortcut menu. On the shortcut menu, choose "Import
Rung…".
