4.1 Reading Status Data from the Module
The MVI56-101S module returns a 20-word Status Data block that can be used
to determine the module’s operating status. This data can be located in the
module’s database at registers at the location specified in the configuration. This
data is transferred to the ControlLogix processor continuously with each read
block.
4.1.1 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) for Diagnostics
The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree
structure, with the Main menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus
for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the
module is the
Main menu.
Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the
[command letter] from your computer keyboard in the Diagnostic window in
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). The module does not respond to mouse
movements or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the
[ COMMAND LETTER ] — you do not need to press [E NTER ]. When you type a
[ COMMAND LETTER ], a new screen will be displayed in your terminal application.
Using the Diagnostic Window in ProSoft Configuration Builder
Tip: You can have a ProSoft Configuration Builder Diagnostics window open for more than one
module at a time.
