Battery Life Advisory
The MVI46, MVI56, MVI56E, MVI69, and MVI71 modules use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to
backup 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).

MVI56E-AFC ♦ Enhanced Liquid and Gas Flow Computer for ControlLogix® Introduction
Reference Guide
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 11 of 263
September 26, 2018
1 Introduction
Note: This guide assumes that you have already configured your MVI56E-AFC module using the
MVI56E-AFC Setup and Configuration Guide. This manual does not contain initial setup
information.
ProSoft Technology’s in-chassis flow computer solution allows you to monitor
gas and liquid meters for flow rates, accumulator values, and other calculation
results. All alarm data is displayed on our configuration screens.
This solution eliminates the need for multiple RTUs and standalone flow
computers for a multi well pad application. This solution reduces support and
maintenance costs as well as helping to decrease your capital spend. This
simplified solution allows you to optimize your resources.
In addition, because this flow computer sits in a ControlLogix system, you can
take advantage of Rockwell Automation’s distributed I/O capability and ProSoft
Technology’s wireless radios to greatly reduce your wiring to your transmitters
and I/O devices.
The module has two serial communication ports and one Ethernet port for
Modbus communication allowing easy access by a remote Modbus device. The
module supports Modbus TCP/IP and works as a Modbus slave or master
device.
As discussed later in this manual, the internal Modbus database can be
accessed by a Modbus Master device and by the processor (using the Modbus
Gateway Function).
The EAFC Manager software is used for easy meter configuration and
application monitoring.
The following section provides a sample application where input data is
transferred from the transmitters to analog input cards on the Rockwell
Automation rack and the values are transferred from the processor to the
module.
For Pulse meter applications, the pulse count and pulse frequency values are
typically transmitted through high-speed counter modules in the rack.
The module performs the flow calculation based on the values transferred
through the backplane. The calculation results can be read to the processor or
polled from a remote Modbus master unit connected to one of the communication
ports.

1.1 MVI56E-AFC Module
1.2 System Requirements
The following system requirements are the recommended minimum
specifications to successfully install and run EAFC Manager:
1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard drive space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
Assigned IP address
Available Ethernet port, Serial port (COM port) or USB to Serial adapter cable
with necessary drivers, required for communication between EAFC Manager
software and the MVI56E-AFC.
DB9 adapter cable (included with module), required for connection between
PC serial port and MVI56E-AFC.
An Ethernet cable required for connections between a PC port and the
Ethernet port of the MVI56E-AFC.

1.3 How to Use This Guide
This guide assumes that you have performed the setup and configuration steps
described in the MVI56E-AFC Setup and Configuration Guide.
This guide is designed to provide you with important information on the use of the
MVI56E-AFC module. However, it is also used as a reference for custom
configuration procedures and may be used simultaneously with the MVI56E-AFC
Setup and Configuration Guide.

2 Setting up an Operator Database
1 Navigate to On-line > Operator Database.
2 The Operator Database Management page opens.
The initial page displays two buttons:
CONNECT AS ADMINISTRATOR –Allows you to perform any system-wide
function.
CONNECT AS LISTER –A Lister only has one role. A Lister can only
perform read functions of the Operator Database.

3 Click CONNECT AS ADMINISTRATOR.
You must log into the module with “Administrator” privilege in order to
accomplish this step.
4 The Operator Database Management page opens.
This page contains three tabs:
Operators
Roles
Authorization Defaults

2.1.1 Adding and Editing Operators
The Operators tab allows you to add operators, each with different roles and
privileges.
There are three special Operators defined in the system:
(EAFC) –This represents the MVI56E-AFC. This operator is always
logged in and its record cannot be changed. Its purpose is to supply its
number for inclusion in persistent records made as a consequence of
actions initiated by the MVI56E-AFC firmware such as Event Log records.
This operator cannot be logged in via an external communication
channel.
(backplane) –The represents the backplane interface between the
module and the PLC/PAC processor. This operator is always logged in
and its record cannot be changed. Its purpose is to supply operator
information for actions initiated by, or managed by the processor. For
example, running a transmitter calibration session via the process from
and HMI or supplying its operator number for Event Log records created
as a result of Modbus gateway transactions. This operator cannot be
logged in via an external communication channel.
Default Administrator –This record is available during cold start for
logging into the module. This operator cannot be deleted, and editing is
limited to its Lockout flag and its Password.
These records all have Administrator privilege, so actions initiated by the
corresponding operator have full authority to exercise all EAFC Manager
functionality.

The following table describes each parameter.
Parameter
Description
Number
This is the operator number. The operator number for the default
administrator is always 3.
Tag
Tag assigned to this operator. May be used as a login name.
Lk
Lockout flag. If set, this operator cannot log into the module.
Privileges
Privileges assigned to this operator based on roles.
Roles
Inherited roles assigned to this operator.
PW
This is a password assigned to the operator. This column will only be blank
or contain “zero”. Zero acts as a wildcard and if set, a user can gain access
using any password at all. This is used in exceptional cases and should be
avoided unless absolutely necessary.
Name
This can be the name of the operator or the name of a an operation.

Adding an Operator
Make sure you are logged in as Administrator.
Note: These windows and functions are only available if logged in as
Administrator. If logged in as “Lister”, similar windows are presented, but with
much less detail and severely reduced functionality. If your login privileges don’t
include Administrator or Lister, this interface is inaccessible to you.
