To add the MVI69E-MBTCP module in RSLogix 5000, you must:
1 Create a new project in RSLogix 5000.
2 Add the module to the RSLogix 5000 project. There are two ways to do this:
o You can use the Add-On Profile from ProSoft Technology. This is the
preferred way, but requires RSLogix version 15 or later.
o You can manually create the module using a generic 1769 profile, and
then manually configure the module parameters. Use this method if you
have RSLogix version 14 or earlier.
3 Create an Add-On Instruction file using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB)
and export the Add-On Instruction to an RSLogix 5000 compatible file (.L5X
file).
4 Import the Add-On Instruction (the .L5X file) into RSLogix 5000.
The .L5X file contains the Add-On Instruction, user-defined data types, controller
tags and ladder logic required to configure the MVI69E-MBTCP module.
2.1 Creating the Module in an RSLogix 5000 Project
In an RSLogix 5000 project, there are two ways you can add the MVI69E-
MBTCP module to the project.
 You can use an Add-On Profile (AOP) from ProSoft Technology. The AOP
contains all the configuration information needed to add the module to the
project. This is the preferred way, but requires RSLogix version 15 or later.
Refer to Creating a Module in the Project Using an Add-On Profile (page 18).
 If using an AOP is not an option, you can manually create and configure the
module using a generic 1769 profile. Use this method if you have RSLogix
version 14 or earlier. Refer to Creating a Module in the Project Using a
Generic 1769 Module Profile (page 21).
