Information About MVI56-MCM
The MVI56-MCM belongs to ProSoft’s line of communication modules developed specifically for the ControlLogix platform. Supporting both Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols, it enables bidirectional communication with a wide range of third-party instruments, drives, and controllers. The module requires a ControlLogix processor and operates in either a local chassis or a remote rack connected over EtherNet/IP or ControlNet. Designed for demanding applications, it includes onboard configuration tools, dedicated serial ports, and pre-assembled cabling for rapid deployment. Suitable for hazardous locations rated Class I, Division 2, the MVI56-MCM operates across industrial temperature ranges and provides robust data handling with recommended 256 MB RAM and 100 MB disk space for configuration and logging.
Key Features
- Modbus Master/Slave Support: Enables connectivity with Modbus RTU/ASCII devices across diverse automation systems.
- ControlLogix Integration: Occupies a single rack slot and communicates directly via the backplane.
- High Backplane Power Capacity: Requires 800 mA to ensure stable data throughput.
- Dual Serial Ports: Provides two independent Modbus channels for flexible network architectures.
- Hazardous Location Approved: Certified for Class I, Division 2, Groups A–D environments.
- Local or Remote Rack Installation: Operates in remote chassis via EtherNet/IP or ControlNet.
- Comprehensive Configuration Tools: Includes cables and adapter hardware for easy commissioning.
- Industrial Temperature Rating: Supports operation from 32 to 140 °F for harsh environments.
The MVI56-MCM delivers the reliability and precision required for integrating Modbus communication into ControlLogix-based automation systems.
