6.10.1 Using the Sample Program in a New Application
Opening the Sample Program in RSLogix
The sample program for your MVI56E-MCM module includes custom tags, data
types and ladder logic for data I/O, status and command control. For most
applications, you can run the sample program without modification, or, for
advanced applications, you can incorporate the sample program into your
existing application.
The ProSoft Solutions DVD provides one or more versions of the sample ladder
logic. The version number appended to the file name corresponds with the
firmware version number of your ControlLogix processor. The firmware version
and sample program version must match.
The ProSoft Solutions DVD included in the package with the module contains
ladder logic, product manuals and utility programs for all ProSoft Technology
products.
Copy the manuals and sample program from the DVD
1 Insert the ProSoft Solutions DVD into the DVD drive of your PC. Wait for the
startup screen to appear.
2 On the startup screen, click Product Documentation. This action opens an
Explorer window. Files are arranged by type:
o The Ladder Logic folder contains sample programs for each module,
arranged by processor type, and then by product name. The sample
programs for your module are in the ControlLogix/MVI56/MVI56E-MCM
folder.
o The Manuals folder contains product manuals and datasheets in Adobe
Acrobat Reader format (PDF) for each module, arranged in the same way
as the Ladder Logic folder.
o The Utilities folder contains additional programs and tools required for
some ProSoft modules. Refer to your user manual to determine if you
need to use or install any of these additional tools.
3 In the Explorer window, navigate to the files you need, and then copy them to
a location on your hard drive.
