4 Make a note of the slot location. You must identify the slot in which the
module is installed in order for the sample program to work correctly. Slot
numbers are identified on the green circuit board (backplane) of the
ControlLogix rack.
5 Turn power ON.
Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working or may behave
unpredictably.
Note: When using the MVI56E-GSCXT, you must use the 1756-A5XT or 1756-A7LXT chassis to
uphold the XT specifications. In these chassis, modules are spaced further apart than in standard
ControlLogix chassis. Blank spacers are inserted between active modules.
1.8 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder Software
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a quick and easy 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.
The ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) is available as a stand-alone application,
or as part of ProSoft Configuration Builder. ProSoft Discovery Service shows you
all the MVI56E modules available on your local area network.
Note: The MVI56E-GSC module receives its protocol and backplane configuration information from
the Ladder Logic. Use ProSoft Configuration Builder to configure the module’s Ethernet settings.
