4.1
Setting Jumpers
The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the modules flash memory. In "write protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the modules firmware cannot be overwritten. Do not jumper the Setup pins together unless you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support. The following illustration shows the MVI56E-MNET jumper configuration.
Note: If you are installing the module in a remote rack, you may prefer to leave the Setup pins jumpered. That way, you can update the modules firmware without requiring physical access to the module.
Page 24 of 74
4.2
Warning: You must follow all safety instructions when installing this or any other electronic devices. Failure to follow safety procedures could result in damage to hardware or data, or even serious injury or death to personnel. Refer to the documentation for each device you plan to connect to verify that suitable safety procedures are in place before installing or servicing the device.
After you have checked the placement of the jumpers, insert the MVI56E-MNET into the ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended by Rockwell Automation to remove and install ControlLogix modules. You can install or remove ControlLogix system components while chassis power is applied and the system is operating. However, please note the following warning.
Warning: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by sending an erroneous signal to your systems actuators. This can cause unintended machine motion or loss of process control. Electrical arcs may also cause an explosion when they happen in a hazardous environment. Verify that power is removed or the area is non-hazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.

Verifying Communication
There are several ways to verify that the MVI56E-MNET module is communicating with the processor and with the Modbus TCP/IP network. You can: View Exchanged Data (page 55) View the Module Status in the RSLogix 5000 Controller Tags (page 58) View the LED Status Indicators (page 59)
Page 55 of 74
Checking Write Data The following steps show you how to verify that the WriteData Command is working. 1 In RSLogix, navigate to the processor controller tags MNET.DATA.WRITEDATA[0] through MNET.DATA.WRITEDATA[9]. 2 For words [0] through [9], enter the numbers shown in the following illustration.
This action sends the values you entered to the MODBUS CLIENT 0 on the MVI56E-MNET, and then to the Quantum processor, where you will be able to see the data in Concept. In Concept, navigate to the REFERENCE DATA EDITOR to monitor the processor memory addresses from 400401 through 400410. The data should match the data you sent from RSLogix 5000.
Page 56 of 74
Checking Read Data The following steps show you how to verify that the ReadData Command is working. 1 In Concept, navigate to the REFERENCE DATA EDITOR, and enter the following values in processor memory addresses from 400801 through 400810 as shown in the following illustration.
This action populates the memory addresses in the Quantum processor that the MVI56E-MNET will attempt to retrieve with the ReadData Command. In RSLogix 5000, the values in MNET.DATA.READDATA[0] through [9] should match the data you entered in Concept.
Tip: Repeat these tests, using different values each time, to verify that the same data appears in the proper place in each processor.
Page 57 of 74
In this case, the COMMAND ERROR POINTER was set to 1500 and the READ REGISTER START to 1000. This means that (1500 1000 = 500); so READDATA[500] and READDATA[501] will tell you the individual status of each of the two commands issued by the module. To verify that the Modbus TCP/IP Server is communicating with a Modbus TCP/IP Client, view the contents of the MNET.STATUS.CLIENTSTATUS tag for total commands issued, responses received, errors, and so on.
The following controller tags should increment periodically, indicating that the Modbus TCP/IP Client is continuously sending commands and receiving responses: MNET.STATUS.CLIENTSTATUS.CMDREQ MNET.STATUS.CLIENTSTATUS.CMDRESP MNET.STATUS.CLIENTSTATUS.REQUESTS MNET.STATUS.CLIENTSTATUS.RESPONSES
Page 58 of 74
If the error counters continuously increment, the LASTERROR controller tag value shows the command index that caused the latest failure.
C0 (Client): CmdCnt: X MinDly : X CmdOffs: X RespTmout : X Retries : X ErrOffs : X ARPTmout : X ErrDelay : X FltFlag : X FltSt : X FltOffs : X SVR (server) : BIOffs: X WIOffs : X OutOffs : X HoldOffs : X FltFlag : X FltSt : X FltSt : X CommTmout : X

Operation Messages After the initialization step, the following message pattern will be repeated.
<Backplane Status> <IP Address> <Backplane Status> <Port Status> Code <Backplane Status> Message OK: Module is communicating with processor ERR: Module is unable to communicate with processor. For this scenario, the <Port Status> message above is replaced with "Processor faulted or is in program mode". Module IP address OK: Port is communicating without error Communication Errors: port is having communication errors. Refer to Diagnostics and Troubleshooting for further information about the error.
Ethernet LED Indicators The Ethernet LEDs indicate the module's Ethernet port status as follows:
LED Data Link State OFF AMBER Solid OFF GREEN Solid or Blinking Description Ethernet connected at 10Mbps duplex speed Ethernet connected at 100Mbps duplex speed No physical network connection is detected. No Ethernet communication is possible. Check wiring and cables. Physical network connection detected. This LED must be ON solid for Ethernet communication to be possible.

MVI56E-MNET / MNETXT ControlLogix Platform Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module Non-Scrolling LED Status Indicators The non-scrolling LEDs indicate the modules operating status as follows:
LED Label APP Color Red or Green Status OFF Indication
The module is not receiving adequate power or is not securely plugged into the rack. May also be OFF during configuration download. The MVI56E-MNET is working normally. The most common cause is that the module has detected a communication error during operation of an application port. The following conditions may also cause a RED LED: The firmware is initializing during startup The firmware detects an on-board hardware problem during startup Failure of application port hardware during startup The module is shutting down The module is rebooting due to a ColdBoot or WarmBoot request from the ladder logic or Debug Menu The module is not receiving adequate power or is not securely plugged into the rack. The module is operating normally. The module has detected an internal error or is being initialized. If the LED remains RED for over 10 seconds, the module is not working. Remove it from the rack and re-insert it to restart its internal program. The battery voltage is OK and functioning. The battery voltage is low or battery is not present. Allow battery to charge by keeping module plugged into rack for 24 hours. If ERR LED still does not go off, contact ProSoft Technology, as the battery is not a user-serviceable item.

Frequently Asked Questions 5.1.1 What are the differences between the MVI56 and the MVI56E modules? What does the "E" stand for?
The "E" stands for Enhanced with Ethernet communication capabilities. The new enhancements are: PCB: ProSoft Configuration Builder software; a Windows-based configuration utility providing a graphical user interface for module diagnostics with screen navigation, improving interoperability with the module. Seamless Migration: MVI56E products are backward compatible with existing ladder logic and module configuration files, allowing for a smooth transition when upgrading MVI56 products. Personality Module: The MVI56E incorporates a non-volatile CF (Industrial Compact Flash) memory card for storing the module's setup and network configuration data (or personality). This feature benefits the end-user with quick replacement of modules for disaster recovery. Restore a module by a simple exchange of the Personality Module with absolutely no PC or configuration requirements. Ethernet Configuration port: Allows for remote module connectivity. Replaces the serial communication port, becoming the primary configuration port with faster access. LED Display: The LED provides detailed, plain English diagnostics and error information for the module, backplane communication, and network conditions. Discovery Service: Allows PCB configuration software (or separate utility) to find and display products located on the network with key product attributes such as name, serial number, and IP address. The user will be able to change IP address, upload/download, and enter into diagnostics from the list. CIPconnect-enabled: Allows end-users to use PCB from remote locations to local and remote chassis installed MVI56E module(s) through a 1756ENxT. Multi hop (Ethernet and ControlNet) connections are supported. RSLinx OEM is not required.

5.1.2 What is the difference between the MVI56E-MNET(R) and the MVI56E-MNETC(R)?
The MNETC and MNETCR modules support up to 30 Modbus TCP/IP Clients, while the MNET and MNETR modules support one Client. If your ControlLogix application needs to poll a large number of Modbus TCP/IP Server devices, and requires quick responses from these servers, you can divide the Servers among multiple Clients, and avoid timeouts if an individual Server does not respond to a Modbus TCP/IP command from a Client. The single Modbus TCP/IP Client in the MNET and MNETR modules must open and close connections to each server device they talk to, whereas the MNETC or MNETCR can have each client connect to its own server device and keep these connections open, thereby improving performance. The MNETC and MNETCR modules act as Modbus TCP/IP Clients only. If your application must respond to commands from another Modbus TCP/IP Client on the network, use the MNET or MNETR module. The MNET and MNETR modules can act as both a Modbus TCP/IP Server and as a Modbus TCP/IP Client

5.1.13 Are there any other ways to monitor module diagnostics besides being connected to the modules network (subnet)?
PCB can monitor the module via ControlLogix backplanes and process networks using CIPconnect. The PC running PCB can use its Ethernet port to connect to any 1756-ENxT EtherNet/IP interface module which is on the same Ethernet subnet. Through this connection, PCB can use CIPconnect to route through the ControlLogix backplane to other 1756-ENxT or 1756-CNBx modules, for up to five more route links, to reach an MVI56E module in a chassis connected on EtherNet/IP or ControlNet process networks.

Glossary of Terms
A ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A communication mode in which each eight-bit byte in a message contains one ASCII character code. ASCII characters (or hexadecimal characters) are sometimes used as a key to encrypt data and ensure its secure transmission. C Client A client is a software program, or the device on which that program runs, that makes requests for information from a software program, or the device on which that program runs, in a client-server relationship. A Client on an Ethernet network is equivalent to a Master on a serial network. D Default Gateway The IP address of a network router where data is sent if the destination IP address is outside the local subnet. The gateway is the device that routes the traffic from the local area network to other networks such as the Internet. E ESD Electrostatic Discharge. Can cause internal circuit damage to the coprocessor. Ethernet A set of network cabling and network access (CSMA/CD) protocol standards for bus topology computer networks invented by Xerox but now controlled by the 802.3 subcommittee of the IEEE. F Firmware Software for embedded computers. Full-Duplex A communications circuit or system designed to simultaneously transmit and receive two different streams of data. Telephones are an example of a full-duplex communication system. Both parties on a telephone conversation can talk and listen at the same time. If both talk at the same time, their two signals are not corrupted.
Page 69 of 74
Half-Duplex A communications circuit or system designed to transmit and receive data, but not both simultaneously. Citizens' Band (CB) or walkie-talkie radios are an example of a half-duplex communication system. Either party to a radio conversation may talk or listen; but both cannot talk at the same time without corrupting each other's signal. If one operator is "talking", the other must be "listening" to have successful communication. I IP Address A 32-bit identification number for each node on an Internet Protocol network. These addresses are represented as four sets of 8-bit numbers (numbers from 0 to 255), separated by periods ("dots"). Networks using the TCP/IP Protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. Each number can be 0 to 255. For example, 192.168.0.100 could be an IP address. Each node on the network must have a unique IP address. L LED Light-emitting diode. M MAC ID A hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies an Ethernet device. This MAC ID number is encoded onto the hardware by the manufacturer at the time the device is made and may not be changed. Master A Master is a program or device that initiates all requests for information from other programs or the devices on a network, known as a Slaves, in a MasterSlave communication model. A Client on an Ethernet network is equivalent to a Master on a Serial network. N Network A series of stations or nodes connected by some type of communication medium. A network may consist of a single link or multiple links. Node An address or software location on the network.
Page 70 of 74
Peer-to-Peer A network relationship between devices where each device can send commands as a master or client, and respond to commands as a slave or server. Power Supply Device that supplies electrical power to the I/O chassis containing the processor, coprocessor, or other modules. Protocol The language or packaging of information that is transmitted between nodes on a network. S Server A Server is a software program, or the device on which that program runs, that provides a specific kind of service to a Client software program, or the device on which that program runs, on an Ethernet network. A Server on an Ethernet network is equivalent to a Slave on a Serial network. Simplex A communications circuit or system designed to either transmit data or receive data, but not both. Broadcast television is an example of simplex communication system. A television station sends a TV signal but cannot receive responses back from the television sets to which it is transmitting. The TV sets can receive the signal from the TV station but cannot transmit back to the station. Slave A Slave is a software program, or the device on which that program runs, which provides a specific kind of service to a Master software program, or the device on which that program runs, on a serial network. A Slave on a Serial network is equivalent to a Server on an Ethernet network. Subnet Mask A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP address has two components: the network address, and the host (node or device) address. For example, consider the IP address 150.215.017.009. Assuming this is part of a Class B network (with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0), the first two numbers (150.215) represent the Class B network address, and the second two numbers (017.009) identify a particular host on this network.
