3.7 Installing and Configuring the Module
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 to identify the module to the processor and add the module to a project.
Note: The 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.
Note for MVI94: Configuration information for the MVI94-ADM module is stored in the module’s
Flash ROM. This provides permanent storage of the information. The user configures the module
using a text file and then using the terminal emulation software provided with the module to
download it to the module’s Flash ROM. The file contains the configuration for the Flex backplane
data transfer, master port and the command list. This file is downloaded to the module for each
application.
Note for MVI69: Configuration information for the MVI69-ADM module is stored in the module’s
EEPROM. This provides permanent storage of the information. The user configures the module
using a text file and then using the terminal emulation software provided with the module to
download it to the module’s EEPROM. The file contains the configuration for the virtual database,
backplane data transfer, and serial port. This file is downloaded to the module for each application.
3.7.1 Using Side-Connect (Requires Side-Connect Adapter) (MVI71)
If the side-connect interface is used, the file SC_DATA.TXT on the Compact
Flash Disk must contain the correct configuration file number. To set the
configuration file number for your application, run the setdnpsc.exe program.
Install the module in the rack and turn on the power
1 Install the module in the rack and turn on the power.
2
Connect the serial cable to the module’s debug/configuration port
3 To exit the program, [E SC ], followed by [Y]. The program will exit and remain
at the operating system prompt.
4 Run the setdnpsc.exe program with a command line argument of the file
number to use for the configuration file. For example, to select N10: as the
configuration file, enter the following:
SETDNPSC 10
The program will build the SC_DATA.TXT on the Compact Flash Disk (C: drive in
the root directory).
