ProSoft Technology recently introduced the MVI56E-MCM module, an enhanced Modbus master/slave communication module designed for Rockwell Automation ® ControlLogix® processors. This module enables Modbus data to be presented directly to the processor as I/O data, greatly simplifying the process of data communication and integration.
The MVI56E-MCM module has two independently configurable serial ports and can operate in the same or different Modbus networks. Each port can be configured as a master or slave, sharing a 10,000-word database controlled by the user. The module’s configuration and communication functions are integrated internally in RSLogix™ 5000, eliminating the need for additional programming or configuration software, saving development time and costs.
In addition, the MVI56E-MCM module supports CIPconnect® technology, enabling easy remote user access between ControlLogix backboards via the Rockwell Automation 1756-ENBT module. The module also features a 4-digit LED display that provides an intuitive, easy-to-understand scrolling display that displays plain English diagnostics and error messages for quick identification and resolution.
The introduction of the MVI56E-MCM module further enricues ProSoft Technology’s product line of industrial communication solutions, providing users with more choices and possibilities in the field of industrial automation. The module’s high performance and flexibility make it ideal for a variety of industrial automation and control system applications, helping to improve production efficiency and system reliability.
