1.1 Overview
This user manual explains the features of the MVI56E-61850C module and guides you
through the installation and configuration of the module. This includes using the ProSoft
MVI56E-61850C Configuration Manager software to map data for Intelligent Electronic
Devices (IEDs) on the IEC 61850 network for use with a Rockwell Automation®
ControlLogix®processor. The configuration software creates files to import into Studio
5000 Logix Designer programming software, simplifying the integration of the module
into your system.
The high-level steps for the process of configuring the IEC 61850 network are as follows:
1 Add the MVI56E-61850C to your Studio 5000 Logix Designer project. See “Adding
the Module to Studio 5000 Logix Designer®”on page 13.
2 Configure the module Ethernet settings through the Add-On Profile. See “Configuring
the MVI56E-61850C Add-On Profile” on page 13.
3 Launch the ProSoft MVI56E-61850C Configuration Manager and take the following
steps to configure client functionality:
a Import the IED configuration files (CID or SCD files). See “Import IED
Configuration Files” on page 26.
b Add the IEDs to the IEC 61850 network. See “Configure the IED Network” on
page 28.
c Map the desired data attributes for each IED. See “Map Data Attributes for the
IEDs” on page 30.
4 Configure GOOSE Publish (server) functionality (if applicable). See “Configure
GOOSE Publish” on page 43.
5 Export the configuration to the MVI56E-61850C Add-On Profile. See “Export the
Configuration to the Add-On Profile” on page 53.
6 Import the MVI56E-61850C Program into Studio 5000 Logix Designer. See “Import
the MVI56E-61850C Program into Studio 5000 Logix Designer” on page 56.

1.2 System Requirements
The MVI56E-61850C module requires the following minimum hardware and software
components:
•Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 Logix Designer programming software version
32 or higher
•Rockwell Automation ControlLogix 5580 controller (catalog numbers starting with
1756-L8X) running firmware with the same major revision as Logix Designer, with
compatible power supply and one free slot in the rack, for the MVI56E-61850C
module. The module requires 1.4 A of backplane current (@5.1VDC).
•For remote rack applications, the MVI56E-61850C module at the remote rack
must be connected to the ControlLogix processor at the local rack through a
1756-EN4TR module.
•MVI56E-61850C Add-On Profile (AOP)
•ProSoft MVI56E-61850C Configuration Manager configuration software
•Supported operating systems:
•Microsoft Windows 10
1.3 Installing 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 MVI56E-61850C 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.
Insert the MVI56E-61850C into the ControlLogix chassis using the same technique
recommended by Rockwell Automation to remove and install the Rockwell Automation
modules.
Note: You can install up to four MVI56E-61850C modules in the same ControlLogix rack.
Note: If you are using the module in a ControlLogix Redundancy System, the module must be located in a
remote rack. For more information, see “Using the Module with a ControlLogix Redundancy System” on
page 74.
You can install or remove ControlLogix system components while chassis power is
applied and the system is operating. However, please note the following warning.

MVI56E-61850C ♦IEC 61850 Client Communication Module Start Here
ControlLogix® Platform User Manual
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 8 of 116
Warning: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur.
An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by sending an erroneous signal to your
system’s actuators. This can cause unintended machine motion or loss of process control. Electrical arcs
may also cause an explosion when they happen in a hazardous environment. 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 Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and then slide it into the rack until
the module is firmly against the backplane connector.
2 With a firm, steady push, snap the module into place.
3 Check that the holding clips on the top and bottom of the module are securely in the
locking holes of the rack.
4 Make a note of the slot location. You must 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.
5 Turn power ON.
Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working or may behave unpredictably.
1.4 Installing the Software
Install the MVI56E-61850C required software, which is available in the Downloads
section of the MVI56E-61850C product page on the ProSoft Technology website
(https://www.prosoft-technology.com):
•MVI56E-61850C Add-On Profile (AOP): This program includes the IEC 61850
communication module profile and associated files.

2 Module Overview
2.1 Overview
The ProSoft Technology®IEC 61850 communication module allows Rockwell
Automation® ControlLogix®PACs to interface with IEC 61850 Intelligent Electronic
Devices (IEDs) such as substation power monitors and protective relays. The module
operates as an IEC 61850 Client supporting the polling of devices using MMS
messaging and reports. Additionally, support for GOOSE messaging as both a publisher
and subscriber allows for fast data transfer between devices on an IEC 61850 network.
The dual Ethernet ports on the module provide support for Parallel Redundancy Protocol
(PRP), and the module fully supports C37.238 Ed 2017 for precision time
synchronization of field devices.

3.3 Configure Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP)
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) allows failover protection against failure of network
components. The MVI56E-61850C provides the following two PRP modes:
•Simplex: In simplex mode, only Ethernet port 1 is used for data communication.
•Redundant: In redundant mode, both Ethernet ports 1 and 2 are used for data
communication with redundancy.
When redundant mode is enabled, you can the monitor the status of LAN A (Ethernet
port 1) and LAN B (Ethernet port 2) on the PRP Network Redundancy tab of the Module
Properties dialog box, as explained in “PRP Diagnostics” on page 106.
For more information on PRP, see “Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP)” on page 74.

3.4 Enable Time Synchronization (Ethernet)
The module supports time synchronization over three different ports: the backplane,
Ethernet Port 1, and Ethernet Port 2 (if redundancy is enabled). Time synchronization
over the backplane is always enabled. The following procedure explains how to enable
time synchronization over the Ethernet ports. If time synchronization over Ethernet is
disabled, the module operates as an ordinary clock. If time synchronization over
Ethernet is enabled, the module operates as boundary clock. For more information
regarding this feature, see “Time Synchronization” on page 76.
1 In the Module Properties dialog box, select ETHERNET CONFIGURATION.
2 Under Time Synchronization, select ENABLED.
3 Click OK.

3.5 Firmware Lock
The module firmware is locked by default for security purposes to prevent the firmware
upgrade. In case a firmware upgrade is required, you will have to unlock the firmware
through the Firmware Lock parameter.
For more information about firmware upgrades, see the Downloads section of the
MVI56E-61850C product page on the ProSoft Technology website (https://www.prosoft-
technology.com).
1 In the Module Properties dialog box, select ETHERNET CONFIGURATION.
2 Under Firmware Lock, select UNLOCKED.
3 Click OK.
4 Before upgrading the firmware, set the ControlLogix processor to PROGRAM mode.
5 Once you are finished with the Ethernet configuration, you are ready to launch the
ProSoft MVI56E-61850C Configuration Manager software. Refer to the following
section for details.
