1.1 System Requirements
The MVI69-HART module requires the following minimum hardware and
software components:

Rockwell Automation CompactLogix processors or MicroLogix 1500 LRP
processor, with compatible power supply and one free slot in the rack, for the
MVI69-HART module. The module requires 800 mA of available power.
Important: The MVI69-HART module has a power supply distance rating of 2 (L43 and L45
installations on first 2 slots of 1769 bus).
Important: For 1769-L23x processors, please make note of the following limitations.

1769-L23-QBFC1B = 800 mA at 5 Vdc (One MVI69-HART will use all 800 mA of available
power. No other modules can be used with an MVI69 module connected to this processor.)

1769-L23E-QB1B = 1000 mA at 5 Vdc (One MVI69-HART will use 800 mA of available power.
One other module can be used on this rack provided it consumes less than 200 mA at 5 Vdc.)

1769-L23E-QBFC1B = 450 mA at 5 Vdc (No MVI69 module can be used with this processor.)

Rockwell Automation RSLogix 5000 (CompactLogix) or RSLogix 500
(MicroLogix) programming software

Rockwell Automation RSLinx communication software

Pentium
® II 450 MHz minimum. Pentium III 733 MHz (or better)
recommended

Supported operating systems:
o
Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 or 2
o
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 1, 2, or 3
o Microsoft Windows Server 2003

128 Mbytes of RAM minimum, 256 Mbytes of RAM recommended

100 Mbytes of free hard disk space (or more based on application
requirements)

256-color VGA graphics adapter, 800 x 600 minimum resolution (True Color
1024 × 768 recommended)

CD-ROM drive

HyperTerminal or other terminal emulator program capable of file transfers
using Ymodem protocol.
NOTE: MVI69/PS69 modules will not work with CompactLogix L4x processors using RSLogix 5000
v17. All other processor combinations and RSLogix versions will work correctly.
