5.8 Using the Sample Program
If your processor uses RSLogix 5000 version 15 or earlier, you will not be able to
use the Add-On Instruction for your module. Follow the steps below to obtain and
use a sample program for your application.
5.8.1 Opening the Sample Program in RSLogix
The sample program for your MVI56E-MNETC module includes custom tags,
data types and ladder logic for data I/O, status and command control. For most
applications, you can run the sample program without modification, or, for
advanced applications, you can incorporate the sample program into your
existing application.
Download the manuals and sample program from the ProSoft Technology web site
You can always download the latest version of the sample ladder logic and user
manuals for the MVI56E-MNETC module from the ProSoft Technology website,
at www.prosoft-technology.com/support/downloads (http://www.prosoft-
technology.com/support/downloads)
From that link, navigate to the download page for your module and choose the
sample program to download for your version of RSLogix 5000 and your
processor.
To determine the firmware version of your processor
Important: The RSLinx service must be installed and running on your computer
in order for RSLogix to communicate with the processor. Refer to your RSLinx
and RSLogix documentation for help configuring and troubleshooting these
applications.
1 Connect an RS-232 serial cable from the COM (serial) port on your PC to the
communication port on the front of the processor.
2 Start RSLogix 5000 and close any existing project that may be loaded.
3 Open the C
OMMUNICATIONS menu and choose G O O NLINE . RSLogix will
establish communication with the processor. This may take a few moments.
