Battery Life Advisory

The MVI46, MVI56, MVI56E, MVI69, and MVI71 modules use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to

backup the 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 the battery becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged, the battery

provides backup power for the CMOS setup and the real-time clock for approximately 21 days. When the battery is

fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS and clock settings.

Note: The battery is not user replaceable.

Electrical Ratings

 Backplane Current Load: 800 mA @ 5.1 Vdc; 3 mA @ 24 Vdc

 Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)

 Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F)

 Shock: 30 g, operational; 50 g, non-operational; Vibration: 5 g from 10 Hz to 150 Hz

 Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% with no condensation

 All phase conductor sizes must be at least 1.3 mm

1 Introduction

Note: This guide assumes you have already configured your module using the AFC Setup and

Configuration Guide. This guide does not contain initial setup information.

1.1 What you need to know about the AFC modules

ProSoft Technology’s in-chassis flow computer solutions allow you to monitor

gas and liquid meters for flow rates, accumulator values, and other calculation

results. All alarm data is displayed on our configuration screens.

This solution eliminates the need for multiple RTUs and standalone flow

computers for a multiple well pad application. This solution reduces support and

maintenance costs as well as helping to decrease your capital spend. This

simplified solution allows you to optimize your resources.

Since this flow computer sits in a ControlLogix/CompactLogix system, you can

take advantage of Rockwell Automation’s distributed I/O capability and ProSoft

Technology’s wireless radios to greatly reduce your wiring to your transmitters

and I/O devices.

The AFC modules have two serial communication ports and one Ethernet port for

Modbus communications, allowing easy access by a remote Modbus device. The

module supports Modbus TCP/IP and operates as a Modbus slave or master

device.

The Modbus database can be accessed by a Modbus Master device and by the

processor (using the Modbus Gateway Function).

The EAFC Manager software is used for easy meter configuration and

application monitoring.

For Pulse meter applications, the pulse count and pulse frequency values are

typically transmitted through high-speed counter modules in the rack.

The module performs the flow calculation based on the values transferred

through the backplane. The calculation results can be read to the processor or

polled from a remote Modbus master unit connected to one of the communication

ports.

MVI56E-AFC / MVI69E-AFC ♦ Enhanced Liquid and Gas Flow Computer Introduction

ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ Reference Guide

Page 10 of 276 ProSoft Technology, Inc.

The following graphic provides a sample application where input data is

transferred from the transmitters to analog input cards on the Rockwell

Automation rack. The values are transferred from the processor to the module.

1.2 EAFC Manager Software Requirements

The following system requirements are the recommended minimum

specifications to successfully install and run EAFC Manager software:

 1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

 16 GB available hard drive space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

 Assigned IP address

 Available Ethernet port, Serial port (COM port) or USB to Serial adapter cable

with necessary drivers, required for communication between EAFC Manager

software and the AFC module.

 DB9 adapter cable (included with module), required for connection between

PC serial port and AFC module.

 An Ethernet cable required for connections between a PC port and the

Ethernet port of the AFC module.

ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ Reference Guide

2 Configuring an Operator Database

1 Navigate to ON-LINE > OPERATOR DATABASE.

2 The Operator Database Management page opens.

The initial page displays two buttons:

 CONNECT AS ADMINISTRATOR – Allows you to perform any system-wide

function.

 CONNECT AS LISTER – A ‘Lister’ only performs read functions of the

Operator Database.

3 Click CONNECT AS ADMINISTRATOR.

You must log into the module with “Administrator” privileges in order to

accomplish this feature. The default Administrator Operator password is 0.

ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ Reference Guide

Page 12 of 276 ProSoft Technology, Inc.

4 The Operator Database Management page opens.

This page contains three tabs:

 Operators

 Roles

 Authorization Defaults

ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ Reference Guide

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 13 of 276

2.1 Operators Tab

The Operators tab allows you to add operators, each with different roles and

privileges. There are three special Operators defined in the system:

 EAFC – This represents the AFC module. This operator is always logged

in and its record cannot be changed. Its purpose is to supply its number

for inclusion in persistent records made as a consequence of actions

initiated by the module’s firmware such as Event Log records. This

operator cannot be logged in via an external communication channel.

 (Backplane) – The represents the backplane interface between the

module and the PLC/PAC processor. This operator is always logged in

and its record cannot be changed. Its purpose is to supply operator

information for actions initiated by, or managed by the processor. For

example, running a transmitter calibration session via the process from

and HMI or supplying its operator number for Event Log records created

as a result of Modbus gateway transactions. This operator cannot be

logged in via an external communication channel.

 Default Administrator – This record is available during cold start for

logging into the module. This operator cannot be deleted, and editing is

limited to its Lockout flag and its Password. The default administrator

password is 0.

These records all have Administrator privilege, so actions initiated by the

corresponding operator have full authority to exercise all EAFC Manager

functionality.

Note: Be sure to either (a) change the default administrator operator default password to a value

between 1 and 65535, or (b) setup an alternate operator with administrator privileges and lock out

(disable) the Default Administrator Operator.

The following table describes each parameter.

Parameter

Description

Number

This is the operator number. The operator number for the default

administrator is always 3.

Tag

Tag assigned to this operator. May be used as a login name.

Lk

Lockout flag. If set, this operator cannot log into the module.

Privileges

Privileges assigned to this operator based on roles.

Roles

Inherited roles assigned to this operator.

PW

This is a password assigned to the operator. This column will only be blank

or contain “zero”. Zero acts as a wildcard and if set, a user can gain access

using any password at all. This is used in exceptional cases and should be

avoided unless absolutely necessary.

Name

This can be the name of the operator or the name of a an operation.

Adding an Operator

Make sure you are logged in as Administrator.

Note: These windows and functions are only available if logged in as Administrator. If logged in as

“Lister”, similar windows are presented, but with much less detail and severely reduced

functionality. If your login privileges don’t include Administrator or Lister, this interface is

inaccessible to you.
