To get the most benefit from this User Manual, you should have the following skills:
 Rockwell Automation
® RSLogix™ software: launch the program, configure ladder
logic, and transfer the ladder logic to the processor
 Microsoft Windows: install and launch programs, execute menu commands, navigate
dialog boxes, and enter data
 Hardware installation and wiring: install the module, and safely connect GEC and
CompactLogix or MicroLogix devices to a power source and to the MVI69- GEC module’s
application port(s)
1.1 System Requirements
The MVI69-GEC module requires the following minimum hardware and software
components:
 Rockwell Automation CompactLogix processors or MicroLogix 1500 LRP processor, with
compatible power supply and one free slot in the rack, for the MVI69-GEC module. The
module requires 800 mA of available power.
Important: The MVI69-GEC module has a power supply distance rating of 2 (L43 and L45 installations on first 2
slots of 1769 bus).
Important: For 1769-L23x processors, please make note of the following limitations.

1769-L23-QBFC1B = 800 mA at 5 Vdc (One MVI69-GEC will use all 800 mA of available power. No other
modules can be used with an MVI69 module connected to this processor.)
 1769-L23E-QB1B = 1000 mA at 5 Vdc (One MVI69-GEC will use 800 mA of available power. One other
module can be used on this rack provided it consumes less than 200 mA at 5 Vdc.)
 1769-L23E-QBFC1B = 450 mA at 5 Vdc (No MVI69 module can be used with this processor.)
