Features:
- Modbus Master/Slave Network Interface Module
- This is a single-slot module compatible with all 1746 backplanes
- It is compatible with processors supporting SLC 5/02 M0/M1 or later versions
The MV146-MCM is a single-slot module that can be directly mounted on a 1746 backplane. It can be effectively configured after installation in a local rack or expansion rack. This module does not support installation in remote I/O racks. It features one RJ45 debug and configuration port, connected via a DB-9M cable, supporting only the RS-232 standard.
Additionally, it features two RJ45 RS-232/422/485 application combination ports. The MV146-MCM also includes indicator lights to display module status, backplane transmission status, application status, serial port activity, and error status. The MV146-MCM can be easily connected to any compatible SLC 500 processor, MODBUS-enabled device, and host instrument.
The MVI46-MCM PROSOFT Network Interface Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

As an I/O module between the MODBUS network and the SLC 500 backplane, it performs asynchronous data transfer and provides a 5000-word register size for exchanging data between the module and the processor via the MODBUS network. This communication adapter is designed for external device data concentrators, pipelines and offshore platforms, food processing, mining, pulp and paper, and SCADA communication applications.
This module is widely used in various industrial sectors, facilitating communication between different control platforms.
External Device Data Centralizer: It collects data from multiple Modbus slave devices (such as electricity meters or frequency converters) and centralizes it for use by the SLC processor.
SCADA Communication: It acts as a bridge between the controller and SCADA (Supervisory and Data Acquisition) systems, enabling remote monitoring.
Pipelines and Offshore Platforms: Used to monitor flow, pressure, and temperature sensors using the Modbus RTU/ASCII protocol.
Food Processing and Mining: This module provides reliable communication in harsh industrial environments for batch control and machinery monitoring.
Pulp and Paper Manufacturing: Manages complex automated processes by integrating third-party sensors and actuators into the main PLC system.
