ProSoft MVI56-MCMR

The ProSoft MVI56-MCMR is a specialized Modbus Master/Slave Communication Module that is made to work perfectly with the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix line. This module is designed to improve the way ControlLogix systems can talk to each other by supporting the Modbus protocol strongly across various networks.

Technical Specifications:

The ProSoft MVI56-MCMR can fit in one 1756 ControlLogix backplane slot. It is power-efficient, discharging 800 mA at 5 V DC. The module operates from 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) and stores from -40°C to 85°C. These temperature norms guarantee industry reliability. The module works in non-condensing relative humidity from 5% to 95%, proving its adaptability.

Two independently programmable serial interfaces connect MVI56-MCMR. The 110–115,200-baud terminals support RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485. Selectable jumpers. The module’s interface and baud rate flexibility allow it to accommodate various devices and communication needs. Both interfaces support custom parity (None, Even, Odd), data bits (7 or 8), stop bits (1 or 2), and flow control for various Modbus devices.

Many industrial communication demands are met by the module’s Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols. In sophisticated networks, it can be a Modbus Master/Slave. Modbus can read coils, discrete inputs, holding registers, and input registers, and write them. This extensive command support provides Modbus network control and data exchange.

User-definable data memory mapping may accommodate up to 5000 16-bit registers, giving data management and integration plenty of capacity. The MVI56-MCMR’s 1000V Modbus-ControlLogix backplane isolation is critical. This shields the module’s communication terminals from electrical interference, stabilizing the system.

Installation and Configuration:

The ProSoft MVI56-MCMR must be installed in a ControlLogix chassis slot and connected to Modbus via serial ports. Technicians can set up and troubleshoot the module using specialist software tools through the configuration and debug interface. The module’s LED indications show battery, application, module, serial activity, and error states for easy diagnosis and maintenance.

Application and Use Cases:

The MVI56-MCMR is especially advantageous in sectors that necessitate the integration of numerous Modbus devices with ControlLogix systems. The module is commonly used in manufacturing automation, where it facilitates communication between PLCs and field devices such as HMIs, actuators, and sensors.

The MVI56-MCMR enables the efficient management of processes by facilitating the reliable exchange of data between control systems and remote monitoring stations in water and wastewater treatment facilities.

The module’s adaptability in accommodating a variety of Modbus commands and communication configurations renders it the optimal choice for intricate industrial automation systems that necessitate reliable and adaptable communication solutions.
