This section contains the setup procedure, data, and ladder logic for successful
application of the MVI56-BAS module. Each step in the setup procedure is
defined in order to simplify the use of the module.
2.1 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 RSLogix 5000 to identify the module to the processor and add the
module to a project.
Note: The RSLogix 5000 software should be in "off-line" mode to add the module to a project.
Although some newer versions of RSLogix 5000 may allow new modules to be added while in
"online" mode, it is always considered safer to add new modules off-line and test the new
configuration in a test system before putting the modified program online.
2 Modify the example ladder logic to meet the needs of your application, and
download 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.
