Migrating from an existing MVI69-PDPS to the ILX69-PBS

Migrating from an existing MVI69-PDPS to the new ILX69-PBS is a simple and straight-forward
process. The main difference between the two is the AOI and GSD file for each.

It is highly recommend to review the ILX69-PBS training video on ProSoft Technology’s

Migrating from the MVI69-PDPS to the ILX69-PBS

With the MVI69-PDPS, the backplane, Slave ID, and other configuration parameters are done in
ProSoft Configuration Builder:

The ILX69-PBS is configured entirely in RSLogix/Studio 5000, and unlike the MVI69-PDPS, the
ILX69-PBS has an Ethernet port that can be used for diagnostics. The IP address is configured
using the AOP, which can be obtained from the ILX69-PBS’s product page on
www.prosoft-technology.com.

With the AOP, there is an “Advanced” tab that allows the user to define the cyclic data IO
transfer between the PBS and the PROFIBUS Master. To use the ILX69-PBS in the same way you
would use the MVI69-PDPS, the “Configuration Type” should be set to “Obtain from Master”.

This simply means that you import the GSD in the Master’s configuration software, and define
the slots, just like you would with most other PROFIBUS DP slaves.

The OBTAIN FROM LADDER option is a unique option that allows the CompactLogix controller to
“lock" the ILX69-PBS PROFIBUS configuration. Once this option is selected, you will manually
configure the PROFIBUS I/O data in the Module Configuration section of the tab. The PROFIBUS
Master’s configuration for this slave must match 100%, or communications will fail.

When configuring the PBS with the PROFIBUS configuration tool (Step7, TIA Portal, PCB, etc.),
you can also modify several diagnostic parameters within the ILX69-PBS.

Importing the Add On Rung is identical to importing the Add On Rung for the MVI69-PDPS. With
the MVI69-PDPS, the PROFIBUS IO data is located in:

With the ILX69-PBS, the PROFIBUS IO data is located in:

As stated earlier, the moving from a MVI69-PDPS to an ILX69-PBS is a pretty simple process, with
a few minor differences. Other differences, such as obtaining diagnostic information is detailed
within each respective user manual.
