Features:
- Communication module
- Modbus Master/Slave Enhanced Network Interface Module
- Allen-Bradley ControlLogix series communication module
Communication module provides essential connectivity for ControlLogix systems and is designed specifically for the 1756 backplane. This module boasts exceptional energy efficiency, consuming only 800mA of current at 5V DC and just 3mA at 24V DC. It supports flexible serial baud rates ranging from 110 bits/second to 115,200 bits/second and can be configured to handle data formats containing 7 to 8 data bits and 1 to 2 stop bits, with optional parity settings (none, odd, or even).
The MVI56-MCM offers excellent environmental adaptability, operating stably in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. Furthermore, it can withstand humidity levels from 5% to 95%, provided condensation does not occur. For safety and reliability, the module features backplane optical isolation and a typical rated voltage of 500V. The status indicator provides real-time feedback on module status, backplane transmission, application, and serial communication activity.
The MVI56-MCM PROSOFT Communication Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Regarding operational stability, the MVI56-MCM can withstand vibrations up to 5 g in a frequency range of 10 to 150 Hz. Operating shocks are limited to no more than 30 g, and non-operating shocks can reach 50 g. This ensures stable operation even in harsh industrial environments.
Local Chassis Integration: Unlike the MCMR version optimized for remote racks, the MVI56-MCM is better suited for local racks because it uses a larger 250-word I/O block, allowing for more efficient data transmission on the backplane.
Universal Modbus Connectivity: Can be used as a master or slave to connect to SCADA systems, PLCs, meters, and frequency converters.
EtherNet/IP Remote Rack Connection: While not ideal for ControlNet due to bandwidth constraints, connecting to remote racks via EtherNet/IP is recommended because network bandwidth is generally less limited.
