ProSoft Technology has introduced the MVI94-MCM Modbus master/Slave communication module, which is designed for Rockwell Automation Flex I/O systems and enables connectivity to a wide range of Modbus protocol-compatible devices. The MVI94-MCM module supports storage and transfer between Flex processor data files and up to 5,000 registers, has the ability to customize module memory usage, and can be used as a Modbus master or slave device. In addition, the MVI94-MCM module also supports the Enron Modbus protocol for floating point data processing, providing efficient data transmission capabilities for a variety of industrial applications, including factory automation, machine control, process control, and data acquisition.

The MVI94-MCM module has two serial ports, PRT1 is a debug/setup port that supports only RS-232, while PRT2 is a Modbus port that supports RS-232/485/422, which can be directly connected or multi-node field communication through jumper Settings. The module is compatible with Allen-Bradley FLEX and FLEX integrated I/O products, and can be controlled by ladder logic and set up via simple text file download.

The general specifications of the module include the Flex backplane interface via I/O access, single-slot design, compatible with the 1794 backplane, and can be installed in any slot within the backplane. The backplane current load is 20 mA @ 5 V, the external power supply is 12 Vdc to 24 Vdc, and the power consumption is between 340 mA and 170 mA. The MVI94-MCM has an operating temperature range of 0°C to 55°C, a storage temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, a certain impact resistance and vibration resistance, and a relative humidity of 5% to 95% (non-condensing).

The MVI94-MCM module also features LED indicators for module status, backplane transmission status, application status, serial activity, and error status. Configuration and monitoring is done through debug ports and user profiles. In addition, ProSoft Technology offers other compatible hardware and software solutions to meet a wide range of industrial communication needs.

In general, the MVI94-MCM module with its flexibility, high reliability and easy to use characteristics, provides a powerful Modbus communication solution for the field of industrial automation, helping users to achieve seamless connection and data exchange between different devices.
