Module Errors
Problem Description Steps to take
MVI56E modules with
scrolling LED display:
<Backplane Status>
condition reads ERR
This indicates that backplane transfer operations are failing. Connect to
the module’s Configurat ion/Debug port to check this.
To establish backplane communications, verify the following items:

The processor is in RUN or REM RUN mode.
 The backplane driver is loaded in the module.
 The module is configured for read and write data block transfer.
 The ladder logic handles all read and write block situations.
 The module is properly configured in the processor I/O configuration
and ladder logic.
OK LED remains RED The program has halted or a critical error has occurred. Connect to the
Configuration/Debug port to see if the module is running. If the program
has halted, turn off power to the rack, remove the card from the rack and
re-insert the card in the rack, and then restore power to the rack.
3.4 Setting Up ProSoft Configuration Builder
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB)
provides a convenient way to diagnose and
troubleshoot your MVI56E-DNPNET module by connecting to your module in either of two
ways:

Through the module's Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable.
 Through the module backplane using CIPconnect. You can use CIPconnect to connect a
PC to the ProSoft Technology MVI56E-DNPNET module over Ethernet using Rockwell
Automation’s 1756 -ENBT EtherNet/IP module.
Note: The MVI56E-DNPNET module receives its Ethernet settings, protocol, and backplane configuration
information from the Ladder Logic.
