For DB9 Connection to Module's Port
If any of these components are missing, please contact ProSoft Technology
Support for replacement parts.
1.3 Install 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-DEM 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-DEM 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 will need to 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.
Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working, or may behave
unpredictably.
Note: If you are installing MVI56-DEM with other modules connected to the PCI bus, the peripheral
modules will not have holding clips. Make sure all of the modules are aligned with their respective
slots before you snap them into place.

1.5 Download the Sample Program to the Processor
Note: The key switch on the front of the ControlLogix module must be in the REM position.
To download the sample program from RSLogix 5000 to the ControlLogix processor
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.

1.5.1 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".

Start Here MVI56-DEM ♦ControlLogix Platform
Honeywell DE Communication Module
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 15 of 80
March 6, 2008
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.
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.
1.6 Connect your PC to the Module
With the module securely mounted, connect your PC to the Configuration/Debug
port using the RJ45-DB-9 Serial Adapter Cable and the Null Modem Cable
included in the package with the MVI56-DEM module.
1 Connect the RJ45-DB-9 Serial Adapter Cable to the Null Modem Cable.
2 Insert the RJ45 cable connector from the RJ45-DB-9 cable into the
Configuration/Debug port of the module.
3 Attach the other end to the serial port on your PC or laptop.

2 Installing and Configuring the Module
In This Chapter
Module Configuration ............................................................................22
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 5000 to identify the module to the processor and add the
module to a project.
Note: The RSLogix 5000 software must be in "offline" mode to add the module to a project.
2 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 installing and configuring the module is to define the 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 following dialog box.
Select the 1756-Module (Generic 1756 Module) from the list and click OK. The
following dialog box appears.

Installing and Configuring the Module MVI56-DEM ♦ControlLogix Platform
Honeywell DE Communication Module
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 19 of 80
March 6, 2008
Fill in the dialog box as shown adjusting the Name, Description and Slot options
for your application. You must select the Comm Format as Data - INT in the
dialog box. Failure to set the Assembly Instance and Size values correctly will
result in a module that will not communicate over the backplane of the
ControlLogix rack. Click Next to display the following dialog box.
Select the Request Packet Interval value for scanning the I/O on the module.
This value represents the minimum frequency that the module will handle
scheduled events. This value should not be set to less than 1 millisecond. Values
between 1 and 10 milliseconds should work with most applications.
After completing the module setup, the Controller Organization window displays
the module's presence. The data required for the module is defined to the
application, and objects are allocated in the Controller Tags data area. The
Controller Organization window is shown in the following example:

Honeywell DE Communication Module
Page 20 of 80 ProSoft Technology, Inc.

The next step in the module's setup is to define the User Defined Data Types to
be used with the module. Copy these data types from the example ladder logic if
you are not using the example. They are already defined if you are starting from
the example ladder logic. The Controller Organization window should display the
User Defined Data Types shown in the following example:
The next step in module setup is to define the data tag to be used to interface
with the module and the ladder logic. Open the Controller Tags Edit Tags dialog
box and enter the values shown in the following example. The MVI56-DEM
module is defined in the example as DEM1 to hold all data related to the module
(type DEMModule). The tag name can be set to any valid tag name desired.
When using the example ladder logic, this step has already been performed.
