PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM Details
Description
The MVI56E-MCM(PROSOFT Communication Module) is a high-performance Modbus Master/Slave Enhanced Communication Module designed specifically for the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix platform.
Occupying a single slot in a 1756 chassis, PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM(PROSOFT Communication Module) acts as a gateway between the ControlLogix backplane and Modbus serial networks. PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM allows for seamless data exchange between the processor and various third-party devices, supporting both Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols with high-speed data integrity.
Features
The MVI56E-MCM(PROSOFT Communication Module) features two independently configurable serial ports that support RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 hardware interfaces.PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM(PROSOFT Communication Module) includes a dedicated Ethernet port for simplified remote configuration via the ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software and a 4-character scrolling LED display for real-time local diagnostics.
Modern integration is achieved through a pre-defined Add-On Instruction (AOI), while its backward-compatible design allows PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM to drop into legacy MVI56-MCM systems without requiring code modifications.
Application
PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM is ideal for industrial environments where a ControlLogix PLC needs to interface with diverse serial devices. Common applications include gathering data from power monitors, flow meters, and variable frequency drives (VFDs), or integrating SCADA systems and building automation controllers.
PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM's dual-port design makes PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM(PROSOFT Communication Module) particularly useful for complex architectures where a single PLC must simultaneously act as a Master to field instruments and a Slave to a higher-level supervisory system.
