The MVI56-MCMR is a dedicated communication module in the ControlLogix series, supporting the Modbus protocol. It operates efficiently over a wide temperature range of 0 to 60 °C. This compact module occupies only one slot in a remote rack.
With a 5 VDC supply, the module consumes up to 800 mA of backplane current; while with a 24 VDC supply, the power consumption is only 3 mA. Its design requires a minimum phase wire size of 1.3 mm², ensuring compatibility with various cabling configurations.
The MVI56-MCMR PROSOFT Communication module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
