MVI56-GSC module reporting an error from config
Hi, I have just bought a generic serial ASCII interface module (MVI56-GSC), I plugged it into the Controllogix PLC and connected the RJ45 to RS232 and null modem cable to the computer but all I get is……..
Read Configuration…….when I press a key on the keyboard I get …….
...Program Shutdown....Closing communication ports....Closing
Backplane Driver....Program Terminated.
ERROR: Startup function failed!
A>reboot
Warm boot...
Program Initialization....
Open Communication Ports....
Open Backplane Interface....
Reloading Program Values....
Read Configuration...
I have tried everything, I’ve used an example PLC program found on the CD that came with it, and I’ve tried different slots in the PLC, I get the same error every time.
Could the device be faulty…?

RE:MVI56-GSC module reporting an error from config
It is highly unlikely there is anything wrong with the module. This type of boot cycle is caused by the module's inability to open a backplane connection to the CLX CPU. The most likely causes for the symptoms you describe are:
1-Correct ladder logic not loaded
2-CPU not in RUN or REM RUN mode
3-I/O Configuration not correct (wrong image sizes, incorrect Comm Format selection, etc.)
4-Invalid values in Controller Tags that hold module configuration information
5-Bad chassis slot
6-Incorrect Slot addressing (Local:x:I.Data & Local:x .Data, where x=slot in which module is installed
7-Setup Jumper installed on both pins (it should not be shorting both pins for normal operation)
Once you eliminate all these possibilities, if you are still having problems, please call ProSoft Tech Support at 661-716-5100 or send a detailed e-mail explanation of your problem, along with a copy of the ladder logic you are using to Support@psft.com.
