ProSoft Technology MVI56-PDPMV1 MVI56 PROFIBUS DP-V0 / DP-V1 Master Network Interface Module for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix processors, acts as an input/output module between the PROFIBUS network and the processor supporting complete Master specifications according to IEC 61158
ProSoft Technology MVI56E-MCM MVI56E Modbus Master/Slave Enhanced Comm Module
The MVI56E-MCMR Enhanced Modbus Master/Slave Communication Module with Reduced Data Block allows Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors to easily interface with devices using the Modbus RTU/ASCII serial communications protocol. Compatible devices include a wide variety of instruments, process measurement devices, popular brands of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs).
The MVI56E-MCMR acts as an input/output module on the ControlLogix backplane, making Modbus data appear as I/O data to the processor. Backplane data transfers to and from the processor are asynchronous from communications on the Modbus network. Two independently-configurable serial ports can operate on the same or different Modbus networks. Each port can be configured as a Modbus Master or Slave, sharing the same user-controlled 5000-word database.
The MVI56E-MCMR utilizes a reduced Input/Output (I/O) data block for transferring data to and from a ControlLogix processor. This reduced data block makes it ideal for use in remote rack applications over ControlNet™. For EtherNet/IP™ applications where bandwidth is not an issue, it is strongly recommended to use the MVI56E- MCM.
The MVI56E Communication Module allows for Modbus Master and/or Slave connectivity from Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors to Modbus RTU/ASCII devices. Each MVI56E port can be configured as a Master or Slave.
The MVI56E-MCM and MVI56E-MCMXT act as input/output modules on the ControlLogix backplane, making Modbus data appear as I/O data to the processor. Two independently configurable serial ports can operate on the same or different Modbus networks. The MVI56E-MCM is designed for standard process applications and the MVI56E-MCMXT is designed for the Logix-XT™ control platform, allowing it to operate in extreme environments. It can tolerate higher operating temperatures, and has conformal coating to protect it from harsh or caustic conditions.
