1.1 System Requirements
The MVI69-GSC module requires the following minimum hardware and software
components:
Rockwell Automation CompactLogix or MicroLogix processor, with
compatible power supply and one free slot in the rack, for the MVI69-GSC
module. The module requires 800 mA of available power.
Important: The MVI69-GSC 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-GSC 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-GSC 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.)
