2.2 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder Software
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a convenient way to manage
module configuration files customized to meet your application needs. PCB is not
only a powerful solution for new configuration files, but also allows you to import
information from previously installed (known working) configurations to new
projects.
Note: During startup and initialization, the MVI56E-MNETC module receives its
protocol and backplane configuration information from the installed Personality
Module (Compact Flash). Use ProSoft Configuration Builder to configure module
settings and to download changes to the Personality Module.
2.2.1 Upgrading from MVI56-MNETC in ProSoft Configuration
Builder
MVI56E-MNETC modules are fully backward-compatible with MVI56-MNETC
modules. However, you will need to convert your MVI56-MNETC configuration in
ProSoft Configuration Builder to a form that your new MVI56E-MNETC module
will accept when you download it.
ProSoft Configuration Builder version 2.2.2 or later has an upgrade option that
easily performs this conversion, while preserving all your configuration settings
and any name you may have given your module.
Important: For this procedure, you need to have ProSoft Configuration Builder
version 2.2.2 or later installed on your PC. You can download the latest version
from www.prosoft-technology.com.
