These changes will be made periodically to correct technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.
Battery Life Advisory
All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 512K SRAM memory, real-time clock, and CMOS. The battery should last for the life of the module.
The module must be powered for approximately twenty hours before it becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged, the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and configuration data, the real-time clock, and the 512K SRAM memory for approximately 21 days.
Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged. A fully charged battery will hold the BIOS settings (after being removed from its power source) for a limited number of days (15 for the PC56). When the battery is fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS settings.
Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

In This Chapter
Ladder logic is required for application of the MVI46-S3964R module. Tasks that must be handled by the ladder logic are module data transfer, special block handling and status data receipt. Additionally, a power-up handler may be needed to handle the initialization of the module's data and to clear any processor fault conditions.
The sample ladder logic, on the ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM, is extensively commented, to provide information on the purpose and function of each rung. For most applications, the sample ladder will work without modification.
3.1 Introduction
The example programs mentioned in the following paragraphs illustrate the principle of how to communicate between an MVI46-S3964R and a SLC processor. All programs mentioned were tested with appropriate communication partners.
It is up to the programmer to examine the programs in detail and integrate them into the SLC processor application.
The following setups/limitations are to be observed in the example programs:
Changes according to the requirements of your SLC system are recommended for setups only. Limitations must not be changed.
Setup: The MVI46-S3964R resides in slot 1 of the SLC chassis.
Setup: The 1747-L series controller resides in slot 0 of the SLC chassis.
ATTENTION: You must be trained in programming and operating Rockwell
Automation 1747-L series controllers and SLC environment. Otherwise, incorrect use may lead to personal injury or death, property damages or economic loss.

MVI46-S3964R/SLC processor takes place. The header data generated from the MVI46-S3964R will be added automatically. The MVI46-S3964R needs no extra job data from the SLC processor for receive jobs, it will be triggered through the STX character sent from the CP to establish the communication.
Acknowledgement from the MVI46-S3964R regarding successful/unsuccessful completion of the receive job.
During the processes described above additional status/error messages may be transferred from the MVI46-S3964R to the SLC processor (refer to Module
Status Data Table (page 60)). Refer to Error Processing for more information.
3.2 Commands
The CMDS sub-routine is used to handle special block processing. Special blocks include:
9998 - Warm Boot
9999 - Cold Boot
3.2.1 9998 Warm Boot
The SLC processor can request a warm boot operation of the module by placing a value of 9998 is the M1 register 6800 (Command Control Register).
3.2.2 9999 Cold Boot
The SLC processor can request a cold boot operation by the module by placing a value of 9999 in the M1 register 6800 (Command Control Register).

The module provides information on diagnostics and troubleshooting in the following forms:
Status data values are transferred from the module to the processor.
Data contained in the module can be viewed through the
Configuration/Debug port attached to a terminal emulator.
LED status indicators on the front of the module provide information on the module's status.
4.1 Reading Status Data from the Module
The MVI46-3964R module returns a 31-word Status Data Block (page 60) that
may be used to determine the module's operating status.
This data is transferred to the SLC processor every time the module does not have 3964R communication data to send to the processor.
The Configuration/Debug port provides the following functionality:
Full view of the module's configuration data
View of the module's status data
Version
Control over the module (warm boot, cold boot, transfer configuration)
You can connect directly from your computer's serial port to the serial port on the module to view configuration information, perform maintenance, and send
(upload) or receive (download) configuration files.
ProSoft Technology recommends the following minimum hardware to connect your computer to the module:
80486 based processor (Pentium preferred)
1 megabyte of memory
At least one UART hardware-based serial communications port available.
USB-based virtual UART systems (USB to serial port adapters) often do not function reliably, especially during binary file transfers, such as when uploading/downloading configuration files or module firmware upgrades.

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree structure, with the Main Menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the module is the Main menu.
Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the command letter from your computer keyboard in the diagnostic window in
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). The module does not respond to mouse movements or clicks. The command executes as soon as you press the command letter — you do not need to press [Enter]. When you type a command letter, a new screen will be displayed in your terminal application.
Using the Diagnostic Window in ProSoft Configuration Builder
To connect to the module's Configuration/Debug serial port:
1
Start PCB program with the application file to be tested. Right click over the module icon.
2
On the shortcut menu, choose Diagnostics.

Siemens 3964R Protocol
5.2.1 Products in the Environment
The 3964R protocol can be installed in all local SLC chassis with at least one controller.
You can obtain more information about SLC and the SLC environment through your Rockwell Automation branch office.
Product Compatibility
The communication between the MVI46 and the SLC processor is realized through M0/M1 data transfer.
5.2.2 3964R Protocol Overview
The 3964R Protocol in General
The 3964R protocol defined by Siemens is used for bi-directional data exchange between two peers through a bit-serial point-to-point connection. This protocol may be additionally embedded in the RK512 telegram level. If 3964R is used with
RK512, each participant can send jobs to its partner and has read (DB-FETCH) and write access (DB-SEND) to the partner's data. The data exchange is realized in the form of messages and response messages. The maximum user data volume is 512 byte per job and 128 byte per message.
3964R without RK512 allows only block wise sending and receiving of data. The detailed handshake procedure through messages and response messages is not applicable in this case.
If both partners want to send a job (3964R with RK512) or data (3964R without
RK512) at the same time, the resulting initialization conflict will be solved through the high/low priority setup. In such a case one partner will be allocated high priority and the other one low priority. Thus, in case of an initialization conflict the device with low priority will defer its job whereas the device with the high priority will be able to send a job.
The safety of data transmission on the line is guaranteed by a BCC checksum.
You should have sufficient knowledge about the 3964R protocol in order to understand the operation of the driver for the MVI46-S3964R and to make efficient use of the example programs.
MVI46-S3964R Operation
The protocol realized on the MVI46-S3964R has the following special features:

Siemens 3964R Protocol
Reference
Immediately after power-up and completion of the internal/external initialization procedures the MVI46-S3964R with installed 3964R protocol is ready to serve as an interface between a SLC processor and one or two communication partners using 3964R protocol. The parameterization of the module is realized through a configuration file. This is where a differentiation between the communication modes 3964R with RK512 and 3964R without
RK512 takes place.
The communication mode 3964R without RK512 supports processing of up to
512 bytes.
The serial transmission parameters are optional and can be allocated independently to each interface. Possible baud rates are 300 to 115200. The following parity setups are possible: Even, Odd and None.
Module Power Up
On power up the module begins performing the following logical functions:
Initialize hardware components o o o
Initialize SLC backplane driver
Test and Clear all RAM
Initialize the serial communication ports
Read module configuration from the Compact Flash
Initialize Module Register space
Set up the communication interface for the debug/configuration port
When this initialization procedure is complete, the module will begin communicating with other nodes on the network, depending on the configuration.

Job Allocation by the SLC Controller
This section describes the different types of jobs and the relevant parameters to be entered. For a better understanding a printout of the sample ladder file is recommended.
Every job that is transferred to or from the MVI46-S3964R consists of defined header data and user data.
The Job structure in general:
.. ..
.. ..
Header Data
The header data consists of 10 words with a job identifier and parameter data.
The header data is to be entered either in the file HEADER_P1 to send to port 1 or the file HEADER_P2 to send to port 2.

Job Identifier
The job identifiers are defined as follows:
Send jobs to a CP:
Job:
3964R with RK512: DB-SEND to CP
3964R with RK512: DB-FETCH to CP
Identifier:
0041hex
0045hex
The MVI46-S3964R receives jobs from a CP automatically without extra parameterization. To differentiate the header data the MVI46-S3964R adds a header to the user data received and transfers it to the SLC processor.
Receive jobs from a CP
Job:
3964R with RK512: DB-SEND from CP
3964R with RK512: DB-FETCH from CP
Identifier:
1141hex
1145hex
Data Block (DB)
Number of the data block. This data block must exist in the communication partner (3964R with RK512 only, otherwise to be set to "0").
Data Word (DW)
Number of the data word in the selected data block. The selected data block must contain this number (3964R with RK512 only, otherwise to be set to "0").
Number of Data Words/Data Bytes
Dependent on the type of communication mode used on port 1/2 of the module, this value will be interpreted as number of data words. This value defines whether a job will be carried out with or without subsequent telegram. For jobs without subsequent telegram the value will be 1 ... 64 words (1 … 128 bytes), and for jobs with subsequent telegram(s) it will be 65 ... 256 words (129 … 512 bytes).
Coordination Byte 9/10
3964R with RK512 send jobs offer the possibility of entering so called coordination bytes (byte 9 and 10 in the RK512 telegram header). Otherwise to be set to "0".
Data Type
The send message can request a data type of Data Words (44h) or Marker
(4Dh). If the value is 0 (zero), then data words is used.
Receive Jobs
To receive jobs from a CP only, no additional parameterization is necessary. The user data received is stored in a file in the SLC processor.
The following table shows an example of the data stored in HeaderCom1 in case of a DB-Send from a CP. The CP is connected to port 1.

1 = This is the total number of data words for the whole job.
2 = This is the number of data words stored in RecvDataCom1.
The user data is copied to RecvDataCom1. This is the file you should operate with.
For port 2, which is similar to port 1, the file for storing the user data received is called RecvDataCom2.
Send Jobs
To send a job to a CP, the next step is to define the appropriate header for the job. The following table shows an example of the header data for a DB-Send job to a CP with the following parameters:
DB = 10, DW = 0, 128 words, coordination byte 9 = FFhex, coordination byte 10
= FFhex, Data Type = 44hex.

A DB-Fetch job will be parameterized similar to the example above.
To send with 3964R without RK512 to a CP (identifier 00FFhex), the values for
DB, DW and the coordination bytes will be ignored and can be set to "0".
The next step is to copy the user data into the appropriate files of the SLC processor.

Siemens 3964R Protocol
Both ports can be used independently from each other (multi tasking).
A possible initialization conflict will be solved as follows:
MVI46-S3964R has "High Priority":
The MVI46-S3964R retries the sending of the 3964R start character (STX) 3 times and waits for the CP to send the 3964R acknowledge (DLE). If the CP does not send the acknowledge as expected the communication will fail and has to be restarted.
MVI46-S3964R has "Low Priority":
The MVI46-S3964R rejects its send job and sends the 3964R acknowledge
(DLE) to the CP.
Important: If the MVI46-S3964R has rejected its send job due to "Low Priority", you must restart its send job completely (starting with the copying of the job data).
The application ports on the MVI46-S3964R module support RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces. Please look at the module to ensure that the jumpers are set correctly to correspond with the type of interface you are using.
Note: When using RS-232 with radio modem applications, some radios or modems require hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines). Enable this in the configuration of the module by setting the UseCTS parameter to 1.
5.3.1 RS-232 Configuration/Debug Port
This port is physically an RJ45 connection. An RJ45 to DB-9 adapter cable is included with the module. This port permits a PC based terminal emulation program to view configuration and status data in the module and to control the module. The cable for communications on this port is shown in the following diagram:

Disabling the RSLinx Driver for the Com Port on the PC
The communication port driver in RSLinx can occasionally prevent other applications from using the PC's COM port. If you are not able to connect to the module's configuration/debug port using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB),
HyperTerminal or another terminal emulator, follow these steps to disable the
RSLinx Driver.
1 Open RSLinx and go to Communications>RSWho
2 Make sure that you are not actively browsing using the driver that you wish to stop. The following shows an actively browsed network:
3 Notice how the DF1 driver is opened, and the driver is looking for a processor on node 1. If the network is being browsed, then you will not be able to stop this driver. To stop the driver your RSWho screen should look like this:
Branches are displayed or hidden by clicking on the or the icons.
4
When you have verified that the driver is not being browsed, go to
Communications>Configure Drivers
Page 56 of 74 ProSoft Technology, Inc.
April 17, 2008
You may see something like this:
Siemens 3964R Protocol
If you see the status as running, you will not be able to use this com port for anything other than communication to the processor. To stop the driver press the "Stop" on the side of the window:
5 After you have stopped the driver you will see the following:
6 Upon seeing this, you may now use that com port to connect to the debug port of the module.
Note: You may need to shut down and restart your PC before it will allow you to stop the driver
(usually only on Windows NT machines). If you have followed all of the above steps, and it will not stop the driver, then make sure you do not have RSLogix open. If RSLogix is not open, and you still cannot stop the driver, then reboot your PC.

5.3.2 RS-232
Reference
When the RS-232 interface is selected, the use of hardware handshaking
(control and monitoring of modem signal lines) is user definable. If no hardware handshaking will be used, the cable to connect to the port is as shown below:
The assignment of the RS-232 connection cable between PRT1/2 (9 pole) and
CP-544 (25 pole) is as follows:
PRT1/2 Pin Description CP 544 Pin Description
Important: The other pins of the RS-232 must not be used.
5.3.4 RS-422
RS-422 Tip
If communication in the RS-422 mode does not work at first, despite all attempts, try switching termination polarities. Some manufacturers interpret +/- and A/B polarities differently.

5.3.5 DB9 to RJ45 Adaptor (Cable 14)
Siemens 3964R Protocol
If you use an interface other than RS-232 (default), you must change the jumper configuration to match the interface. The following illustration shows the MVI46-
S3964R jumper configuration:
The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module's flash memory. In
"write protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module's firmware cannot be overwritten. Do not jumper the Setup pins together unless you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support.
