2.1 Module Configuration
This section contains the setup procedure, data, and ladder logic for successful
application of the MVI71-DFNT module. Each step in the setup procedure is
defined in order to simplify the use of the module.
2.1.1 Obtain the Sample Configuration Files
The ProSoft Solutions CD is organized in folders by module name. In the folder
for the module you are using, you will find sample configuration files and other
information.
1 Use Windows Explorer to locate the sample configuration files for your MVI71
module on the MVI71 CD.
2 When you have located the correct configuration files, use the C OPY and
P ASTE commands to move the files to a location on your PC’s hard drive. We
recommend C:\temp.
3 Files copied from a CD-ROM are read-only. You must make the files writable.
Navigate to the directory where you copied the files, then select the files and
click the right mouse button to open a shortcut menu. On the shortcut menu,
select P
ROPERTIES
, and clear (uncheck) the R
EAD
O
NLY check box.
4 Next, open the configuration files in a text editor such as Notepad, which
comes with Windows. To start Notepad, click the S TART button, and then
choose P ROGRAMS / A CCESSORIES / N OTEPAD .
5 When Notepad starts, open the F
ILE menu, and then choose O
PEN
. Navigate
to the folder where you copied the configuration file on your PC and select
the file. Click O PEN . The configuration file will open in Notepad, ready for
editing.
Note: We do not recommend opening the configuration file in a word processor such as Microsoft
Word, because the file may be saved in a format that cannot be read by the module.
