MVI56-MBP (2)

Technical Specifications

1. Compatibility:
   • Designed for use with Rockwell Automation ControlLogix series PLCs.
   • Fits into a 1756 I/O chassis slot.
2. Communication Protocols:
   • Modbus TCP/IP: Provides Ethernet-based Modbus communication.
   • Modbus RTU: Supports serial Modbus communication (additional serial communication cards may be required).
3. Port and Connections:
   • Ethernet Port: For Modbus TCP/IP communication.
   • Serial Ports: For Modbus RTU communication (typically through serial communication expansion cards).
4. Power Supply:
   • Requires 24V DC power, commonly supplied by the ControlLogix system power supply.
5. Dimensions:
   • Standard 1756 module size, designed for DIN rail mounting within the ControlLogix chassis.

Functional Features

1. Flexible Configuration:
   • Configuration is facilitated through ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software.
   • Allows for setting Modbus addresses, register mappings, and other communication parameters.
2. Data Exchange:
   • Supports both Modbus master and slave functions.
   • Capable of managing high-speed data transfers between Modbus devices and the ControlLogix PLC.
3. High Performance:
   • Designed to handle high-throughput data communication with minimal latency.
   • Suitable for real-time applications requiring reliable and fast data exchange.
4. Diagnostics and Monitoring:
   • Includes diagnostic LEDs to indicate module status, communication activity, and errors.
   • PCB software provides advanced diagnostic tools and status monitoring.
5. Easy Integration:
   • Simplifies the integration of Modbus devices into a ControlLogix system.
   • Supports a wide range of Modbus devices, enhancing system flexibility.

Application Scenarios

1. Industrial Automation:
   • Ideal for integrating Modbus devices (such as sensors, actuators, and other peripherals) into a ControlLogix-based automation system.
   • Useful in applications requiring centralized control and monitoring of Modbus-based equipment.
2. Process Control:
   • Facilitates communication in process control systems, where Modbus devices need to interact with ControlLogix PLCs for monitoring and control.
3. Data Acquisition:
   • Employs in systems where data from Modbus devices needs to be collected and processed by a ControlLogix controller for analysis or further action.
4. Device Integration:
   • Effective for integrating existing Modbus networks with newer ControlLogix systems, enabling system upgrades and expansions without extensive redesigns.

Additional Considerations

• Software Support: ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software simplifies setup and configuration, allowing users to define communication parameters and manage data mapping.
• Technical Support: For detailed installation instructions, technical support, and troubleshooting, consult ProSoft Technology or authorized distributors.
