5.6 Using the Rung Import with Utility Add-On Instruction
5.6.1 Before you Begin
ƒ Make sure that you have installed RSLogix 5000 version 16 (or later)
ƒ Download the Add-On file
MVI56(E)MNETR_Optional_AddOn_Rung_.L5X from the
module's web page and copy it to a folder in your PC
5.6.2 Overview
The Rung Import with Utility Add-On Instruction contains optional logic for
MVI56E-MNETR applications to perform the following tasks.
ƒ Read/Write Ethernet Configuration
Allows the processor to read or write the module IP address, netmask and
gateway values.
Note: This is an optional feature. You can perform the same task through PCB (ProSoft
Configuration Builder). Even if your PC is in a different network group you can still access the
module through PCB by setting a temporary IP address.
ƒ Read/Write Module Clock Value
Allows the processor to read and write the module clock settings. The module
clock stores the last time that the Ethernet configuration was changed. The
date and time of the last Ethernet configuration change is displayed in the
scrolling LED during module power up.
Important: The Rung Import with Utility Add-On Instruction only supports the two features listed
above. You must use the sample ladder logic for all other features including backplane transfer of
Modbus data.
