This section contains the setup procedure, data and ladder logic requirements for
successful application of the MVI56-PDPS module. Each step in the setup
procedure is defined in order to simplify the use of the module. Go to the Initial
Processor ladder File Setup section to begin setting up RSLogix 5000 ladder file.
Additionally, this document contains a discussion on configuring the module
using the PDPS.CFG file. All configuration information used by the module is
stored in this file. Go to the Configuration File section to begin setting up this file.
The document also contains a discussion of the data areas defined for the
module. These areas contain the read and write data from the module and status
related to the module. It is important to understand each element of the data
areas for proper application of the module. Go to the Module Data Object section
for the presentation of the data areas.
The ladder logic requirement section defines the minimum ladder logic required
to apply the module in a user application. The logic is simple to understand and
implement. Go to the Ladder Logic section for a complete discussion of the
ladder logic requirements.
2.1
Initial Processor Ladder File Setup
Processor communication to the MVI56-PDPS module requires configuration
using the RSLogix 5000 program. The quickest way to configure the module is to
start with the example provided with the module () and the default PDPS
configuration file. If you are installing this module in an existing application, you
can copy the elements required from the example ladder logic to your
application.
Note: The module can only be added to a project using the software in offline mode.
