5.4 Using the Optional Add-On Instruction Rung Import
5.4.1 Before Beginning
 Make sure that RSLogix 5000 version 16 (or later) has been installed.
 Download the Optional Add-On file MVI56ESIE_Optional_Rung_v1_0.L5X
from www.prosoft-technology.com or copy it from the ProSoft Solutions CD-
ROM or from the Prosoft Solutions DVD
 Save a copy in a folder on the PC.
5.4.2 Overview
The Optional Add-On Instruction Rung Import contains optional logic for MVI56E-
SIE applications to perform the following tasks.
 Read/Write Ethernet Configuration
Allows the processor to read or write the module IP address, netmask and
gateway values.
Note: This is an optional feature. The same task can be performed through PCB
(ProSoft Configuration Builder). Even if the PC is in a different network group the
module can still be accessed through PCB by setting a temporary IP address.
 Read/Write Module Clock Value
Allows the processor to read and write the module clock settings. The module
clock stores the last time that the Ethernet configuration was changed. The
date and time of the last Ethernet configuration change is displayed in the
scrolling LED during module power up.
Important: The Optional Add-On Instruction only supports the two features listed
above. The sample ladder logic must be used for all other features including
backplane transfer of Siemens Industrial Ethernet data.
