Installing and Configuring the Module
At this point, take the time to fill in the configuration values in the PNP data table
and adjust array sizes. Refer to the Module Data Object section of this document
for information on configuring the module.
The last step in the module setup is to add the ladder logic. If you are using the
example ladder logic, adjust the ladder to fit your application. If you are not using
the ladder example, copy the ladder logic shown in the Controller Organization
window below to your application.
The module is now set up and ready to be used with your application.
Download the new application to the processor and place the processor in run
mode. If all the configuration parameters are set correctly and the module is
attached to a network, the module's Application LED (APP LED) should remain
off and the backplane activity LED (BP ACT) should blink very rapidly. Refer to
the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting section of this manual if you encounter
errors. Attach a computer or terminal to Debug/Configuration port on the module
and look at the status of the module using the Configuration/Debug Menu in the
module.

Modifying the Module Configuration
In order for the MVI56-PNPM module to function, a minimum amount of
configuration data must be transferred to the module. The following table
provides an overview of the different types of configuration data that the module
requires, depending on the operating modes to be supported.
Module Register
Address
5000 to 5005
5010 to 5023 and
5030 to 5043
5050 to 5849 and
5860 to 6699

Description
This section of the configuration data contains the
module configuration data that defines the data transfer
between the module and the ControlLogix processor.
These sections define the characteristics of each of the
Phantom serial communication ports on the module.
These parameters must be set correctly for proper
module operation.
If the module's Master Mode functionality is to be
supported on a port, the Master Command List must be
set up.
