ProSoft MVI56E-MCM Modbus Communication Module
The ProSoft MVI56E-MCM is an advanced Modbus communication interface designed specifically for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix platforms. This industrial-grade module bridges the gap between your Rockwell Automation PLC and Modbus-enabled devices, delivering reliable, high-speed data exchange across RTU, ASCII, and TCP/IP protocols.
Key Technical Specifications
- Protocol Support: Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, Modbus TCP/IP (Master/Slave)
- Platform Compatibility: Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 1756, CompactLogix 1769
- Communication Ports: Dual RS-232/RS-485 serial ports + Ethernet 10/100 Mbps
- Data Throughput: Up to 10,000 registers per scan cycle
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)
- Power Consumption: 5V DC @ 800mA (backplane powered)
- Certifications: UL/cUL, CE, RoHS compliant
Industrial Applications
Process Automation: Integrate legacy Modbus instruments (flow meters, analyzers, transmitters) into modern ControlLogix SCADA systems without protocol conversion overhead.
Energy Management: Connect power monitoring equipment, smart meters, and energy analyzers to centralized PLC control for real-time consumption tracking and demand response.
Water & Wastewater: Interface with Modbus-based level sensors, pump controllers, and chemical dosing systems for municipal treatment facilities.
Manufacturing Execution: Link production line equipment, barcode scanners, and quality control devices to MES platforms via ControlLogix backbone.
Solution Advantages
The MVI56E-MCM eliminates the need for external protocol converters by embedding Modbus intelligence directly into your ControlLogix chassis. Its dual-port architecture allows simultaneous master/slave operations, enabling complex multi-drop networks with up to 247 Modbus devices per port. Built-in diagnostics and LED status indicators simplify commissioning and troubleshooting.
Advanced features include automatic baud rate detection, configurable timeout handling, and non-volatile memory for configuration retention during power cycles. The module's ladder logic interface provides seamless integration with RSLogix 5000/Studio 5000 programming environments.
