Read moreWhat is the largest Compact Flash memory card size I can use in my ProSoft inRAx MVIxx communications solution?
The largest Compact Flash card (CF) that the MVI will work with in CHS mode is a 512Mbyte CF card. CF cards greater than 512Mbytes up to 4Gbytes may be used in LBA mode.However, we would discourage the customer from attempting to use larger cards which require LBA mode...
Read moreDoes the ladder logic or Add-On Instruction for my InRAx module need to be installed in order to access the Debug Menu?
Yes, the ladder logic must be installed and running in the processor for the debug menu to be available. If the ladder logic is not installed, or is configured incorrectly, the OK LED on the module will show red, and the debug menu will not be available.If the required logic is i...
Read moreWhy won't my ProSoft MVI module go into Setup Mode even though I have installed the Setup Jumper and restarted the module?
Jumpers are supposed to have a metal clip inside the plastic housing. It is this clip that makes the necessary connection between the two pins that allows the module to enter setup mode. Occasionally, this metal clip is missing or falls out, leaving only the plastic jumper shell....
Read moreHow can I find the heat-dissipation value for your modules?
The following method may be used in determining total I/O rack heat dissipation such as is the case when calculating what size air conditioning is required for a cabinet. Except for discrete I/O, it is not necessary to look up or determine individual module heat dissipations and ...
Read moreCan I embed the ProSoft Add On Instruction for my MVI56 module into my own, custom AOI?
According to Rockwell Automation, at least as far as Version 16 of RSLogix5000 is concerned, you are not allowed to embed or nest Add On Instructions (AOIs) inside other AOIs. Please do not try to place any ProSoft-supplied AOI inside any other AOI....

Read moreI have multiple ProSoft cards in the same rack and using Add-On Instructions (AOI). Can I edit the ReadData and WriteData array size for each specific card?
Yes.The ReadData and WriteData array sizes are found and edited in the 'MCMDATA' UDT.By default, when multiple AOI's are imported according to the user manual, they utilize the same UDT. Therefore all cards using the AOI will have the same lengths.I...
Read moreArray Subscript too Large Controller Fault
The ladder logic that handles the module's operation makes an assumption that the size of the ReadData and WriteData blocks are at least one block transfer wide. So, for example, if you are using a block transfer size of 240, but the ReadData and/or WriteData arrays are set to a ...
Read moreI cannot locate the .EDS file for my ProSoft Product. Where can I get the proper .EDS file for my module?
