5.7 Using the Sample Program
If your processor uses RSLogix 5000 version 15 or earlier, you will not be able to
use the Add-On Instruction for your module. Follow the steps below to obtain and
use a sample program for your application.
5.7.1 Opening the Sample Program in RSLogix
The sample program for your MVI56E-MNETC/MNETCXT 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.
You can always download the latest version of the sample ladder logic and user
manuals for the MVI56E-MNETC/MNETCXT module from the ProSoft
Technology website, at www.prosoft-technology.com
From that link, navigate to the download page for your module and choose the
sample program to download for your version of RSLogix 5000 and your
processor.
To determine the firmware version of your processor
Important: The RSLinx service must be installed and running on your computer in order for
RSLogix to communicate with the processor. Refer to your RSLinx and RSLogix documentation for
help configuring and troubleshooting these applications.
1 Connect an RS-232 serial cable from the COM (serial) port on your PC to the
communication port on the front of the processor.
2 Start RSLogix 5000 and close any existing project that may be loaded.
3 Open the COMMUNICATIONS menu and choose GO ONLINE. RSLogix will
establish communication with the processor. This may take a few moments.
