Key Features:

• BASIC Programming: You can create BASIC programs that facilitate data transfer between ControlLogix processors and the MVI56-BAS module. Programs can be written and stored on Compact Flash for easy backups.
• Multiple Interfaces: The module has three ports:
  • DH-485: For program transfer and communication.
  • PRT1 & PRT2: These ports support ASCII communication and DF1 protocol for communication with devices like modems, printers, bar code readers, and scales.
• DF1 Communication: The module acts as a DF1 full-duplex device or a DF1 half-duplex slave, capable of reading and writing using a range of PLC commands.
• Memory and Data Transfer: Up to 24 KB of RAM is available for running BASIC programs, saving processor memory, and executing math algorithms.

Technical Specifications:

• Backplane Current Load: 800 mA at 5.1 VDC
• Temperature Range:
  • Operating: 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C)
  • Storage: -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C)
• Vibration and Shock:
  • Vibration: 5g from 10 to 150 Hz
  • Shock: 30g operational, 50g non-operational
• Humidity: 5% to 95% (non-condensing)
• Ports:
  • Serial ports with configurable baud rates (up to 115,200 baud)
  • RS-232 handshaking with full hardware control

This module is ideal for interfacing ControlLogix processors with various ASCII-based devices, enabling efficient communication and control in industrial environments such as factory automation, material handling, and process control
