MVI56-EGD PROSOFT Communication Module

Bidirectional Data Exchange: The module can "produce" (send) data from the ControlLogix to EGD devices and "consume" (receive) data from EGD devices into the ControlLogix's internal database. This enables synchronized operations between Rockwell and GE systems.

High-Speed Communication: Supports 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection, facilitating fast and reliable data exchange critical for real-time industrial applications.

Configuration Port: Includes a dedicated RJ45 configuration port (DB-9M with supplied cable) for RS-232 serial communication, allowing for easy setup and troubleshooting of the module.

Applications with GE Drives: GE Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) often utilize EGD for communication. The MVI56-EGD allows a ControlLogix PLC to directly control and monitor these drives, enhancing coordination in motor control applications.

Hybrid Power & Energy Systems: In sectors like power generation or oil & gas, where a mix of control philosophies and equipment from different vendors might exist, the MVI56-EGD can provide the necessary communication link for critical data exchange between systems.

High-Speed Peer-to-Peer Communication: EGD is known for its efficiency in transmitting large blocks of data quickly between peer devices (producer/consumer model). The MVI56-EGD leverages this for high-speed, real-time data exchange between ControlLogix and GE EGD devices, critical for coordinated control in fast-paced processes.
