MVI69-GSC
Does anyone know how to configure the MVI69-GSC module so that the Amber APP light will go out. I am currently using the sample ladder code in the compact logix and the sample GSC.cfg file. The PLC processor I/O light will not go out since it can not see the unit on the backplane. I've called techsupport and they said they weren't sure what the problem was and they'd have to call me back.
I'm hoping this avenue of communications will serve to be more fruitful

RE:MVI69-GSC
Did you try to communicate to your computer's hyperterminal application? That is the best way to check this module.
PLC I/O error is a slot configuration error: Is the GSC configured in your Logix for the correct slot? The sample code assumes GSC is in the slot 1 position, next to the processor. Is this the case?
Just my quick thoughts...

RE:MVI69-GSC
As with other I/O modules for the CompactLogix platform, there are limits as to how many modules you can put on one power supply. Also, you are required to balance the load on each side of the power supply. And, the ProSoft MVI69 modules must be installed no more that two slots away from the power supply.
If all these conditions are met, you must have our sample ladder logic loaded in your CPLX CPU ( or have it included in your program) and the CPU must be in RUN mode for our module to work correctly.
Depending on the module of the CPLX CPU you are using in your system and what other I/O modules are installed, you may be exceeding the total amout of I/O words availble in that CPU.
There are several things that can cause the I/O LED blink, indicating a problem. When all I/O modules have good backplane connections, the I/O LED will stay ON solidly. This would indicate normal function.
