Quick Start Guide
The MVI56E-GSC Generic ASCII Serial Communication module is configured in RSLogix™ 5000 software using the sample ladder or Add-On Instruction (AOI). The module provides all the documentation from its built-in web server. The product CD-ROM in the box contains two installation programs for ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) and ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB).
•PCBisthesoftwareusedtoprovideaccesstothemodule’sdiagnosticmenusandserialcommunication data analyzer features.
MVI56E products are backward compatible with existing MVI56 products, ladder logic, and module configuration files already in use. Easily swap and upgrade products while benefiting from an array of new features designed to improve interoperability and enhance ease of use.
• Web Server: The built-in web server and web page allow access to manuals and other tools previously provided only on a product CD-ROM or from the ProSoft Technology® web site.

Module configuration is done through ladder logic or Add-On Instruction; so, this procedure is optional for MVI56E-GSC users. Module documentation is also available on the product CD-ROM or from the ProSoft Technology® web site.
