Battery Life Advisory
The MVI46, MVI56, MVI69E, MVI69, and MVI71 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.
Note: The battery is not user replaceable.
Electrical Ratings
Backplane Current Load: 800 mA @ 5.1 Vdc; 3 mA @ 24 Vdc
Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)
Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F)
Shock: 30 g, operational; 50 g, non-operational; Vibration: 5 g from 10 Hz to 150 Hz
Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% with no condensation
All phase conductor sizes must be at least 1.3 mm(squared) and all earth ground conductors must be at least
4mm(squared).

1 Before You Begin
1.1 Pre-Configuration Processes
This section describes the pre-configuration process. There are a small number
of tasks to complete before configuring your MVI69E-AFC project.
The following flow illustrates the full configuration process.

Before You Begin MVI69E-AFC ♦ Version 4.04
Page 10 of 145 ProSoft Technology, Inc.
December 18, 2018
1.2 Module Pre-Configuration Requirements
Before you start to configure the MVI69E-AFC, you must:
Download EAFC Manager software
Download the MVI69E-AFC Add-On Instructions (AOIs)
1.2.1 Downloading EAFC Manager
The EAFC Manager can be downloaded to your PC from the ProSoft Technology
website at www.prosoft-technology.com.
1 Navigate to the MVI69E-AFC webpage.
2 Click on the DOWNLOADS tab.
3 Click on the PROSOFT EAFC MANAGER link and follow the prompts to
download and install the application.
Note: Leave this page open. You will also be downloading AOIs from this page as described in the
next section.
1.2.2 Downloading AOIs To Your System
The AOIs can be downloaded to your PC from the ProSoft Technology website at
www.prosoft-technology.com.
1 Navigate to the MVI69E-AFC webpage.
2 Click on the DOWNLOADS tab.
3 Select MVI69E-AFC ADD ON INSTRUCTIONS.
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
(MVI69E-AFC_AddOn_Rung_MeterLinearGas_vx_x.L5X)
Linear Liquid
(MVI69E-AFC_AddOn_Rung_MeterLinearLiquid_vx_x.L5X)
Differential Liquid
(MVI69E-(AFC_AddOn_Rung_MeterDifferentialLiquid_vx_x.L5X)
Differential Gas
(MVI69E-AFC_AddOn_Rung_MeterDifferentialGas)vx_x.L5X)
Download the Main AOI and the AOI file that pertains to your meter type. For
instance, if the MVI69E-AFC module is going to be used for Differential Gas
meter runs, you only need the MVI69E-AFC_MeterDifferentialGas_Vx_x.L5X file.
You will use these files when you set up your RSLogix project later in this guide.

1.3 Locating Information For Your Meter Type
MVI69E-AFC supports the following meters:
Meter Type
Configured As (Differential or Linear)
Turbine
Linear
Positive
Displacement
Linear
Magnetic
Linear
Orifice
Differential
V-Cone
Differential. You must configure the meter as V-Cone type in the MVI69E-AFC
Manager (Meter Configuration > Calculation Options)
Wedge
Differential. Refer to Wedge Meter Applications for information about using the
wedge meters.
Vortex
Linear or Differential
Ultrasonic
Linear or Differential
Coriolis
Linear or Differential
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).
Note: For Vortex, Ultrasonic, or Coriolis meters, the selection depends on the output generated by
the meter.
If the meter provides a pulse train representing the volume increment, the
MVI69E-AFC should be configured as linear with the primary input set to Pulse
Count.
If the meter provides instantaneous flow rate, the MVI69E-AFC should be
configured as differential with the primary input set to Flow Rate.

1.5 Using the 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.
The 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 Modbus bank and register values.

MVI69E-AFC ♦ Version 4.04 Before You Begin
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 15 of 145
December 18, 2018
You can use the Modbus Dictionary locally or while EAFC manager is directly
connected to the MVI69E-AFC module. From the Source Configuration section,
select LOCAL if you are just running Modbus Dictionary locally or select ON-LINE if
connected to a module.
The Dictionary Section drop-down list allows you to select different types of data
from different sections of the module.
The Meter selection allows you to specify a specific meter in order to view only
information pertaining to the selected meter.
If selected, the SHOW BITS checkbox allows the bits to be displayed in the Bank &
Reg column.
The Search box allows you to search for specific data. The search is applied to
entries in the Description column and is case insensitive.

1.5.1 Procedure
Ensure that you have a suitable project loaded, especially its version. This
ensures that dictionary items present for your module are available for display.
1 In EAFC Manager, select the PROJECT tab.
2 Select Modbus Dictionary, See Starting EAFC Manager for information on
setting your module type.
3 Select the SOURCE CONFIGURATION (Local or On-line).
4 Select the DICTIONARY SECTION from the drop-down list.
5 Select the METER stream.
6 Check the SHOW BITS checkbox to enable the display of individual bits.

December 18, 2018
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.

2 Creating an EAFC Manager Project
2.1 Starting EAFC Manager
1 Click START >PROGRAMS.
2 From the Programs menu, choose PROSOFT TECHNOLOGY.
3 From the ProSoft Technology folder, choose EAFC MANAGER.
The EAFC Manager opens.
4 Select File > New > MVI69E-AFC > MVI69E-AFC, 12 meters (vx.xx). The
EAFC Manager project must match the firmware running on the EAFC.
From here, you’ll begin configuring your module. Communications between the
module EAFC Manager and the MVI69E-AFC module is not required during the
configuration stage. However, you can establish communications at this point if
you wish. Simply follow the instructions Chapter 19 “Installing the Module in the
Rack” and Chapter 20 “Connecting the MVI69E-AFC Module to the EAFC
Manager”.
When you are ready to download the EAFC Manager project to the module, see
Chapter 21 ”Downloading the Project to the Module “. For information on creating
an RSLogix project and importing and using the AOIs, see Chapter 22 “Create
your RSLogix Project and Import the AOIs”.
