Enhanced communication module

MVI56E-MCM

Spare Part Number

PNMVI56E-MCM

Product Information:

The MVI56E-MCM is an enhanced Modbus serial communication module developed by ProSoft Technology specifically for Rockwell Automation's ControlLogix systems. As an I/O module integrated into the ControlLogix backplane, it enables Allen-Bradley's Logix processors to easily connect to various field Modbus serial devices, presenting complex Modbus asynchronous network data directly within the PLC processor as readable and writable standard I/O data tags.

The MVI56E-MCM features two fully independent configurable serial communication ports (P1 and P2), each freely switchable via onboard jumpers to support RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 hardware interfaces, and can be defined as a Modbus master or slave.

Both ports share a user-defined database with a capacity of up to 10,000 words, supporting floating-point transmission (e.g., the Enron Modbus standard). Each port can efficiently poll up to 325 control commands, perfectly meeting the centralized interconnection needs of multi-standard serial networks within a factory. In terms of engineering integration and maintenance, the MVI56E-MCM offers exceptional ease of use.

Information

Overview Manuals Principle

Features:

  • Enhanced communication module
  • Modbus Master/Slave Enhanced Network Interface Module
  • Allen-Bradley ControlLogix series communication module
It is an enhanced network interface module that can support both master and slave communication. The MVI56E-MCM enhanced network interface module functions as the interface between a ControlLogix processor and various Modbus devices. It can be installed in a local or remote rack. The MVI56E-MCM enhanced network interface module supports a wide operating temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and a wide storage temperature range of -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

The MVI56E-MCM module supports master and/or slave connections between ControlLogix processors and Modbus RTU/ASCII devices. This module is backward compatible with older MVI56 modules, meaning users can directly replace older modules without modifying their existing controller software. The MVI56E-MCM module boasts a 10,000-word database, enabling it to collect more data from other devices and thus improve performance.

The MVI56E-MCM PROSOFT Enhanced communication module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
PROSOFT MVI56E-MCM Enhanced communication module Manuals(Datasheets), Link 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.
This feature of the MVI56E-MCM module also allows users to fully utilize its enhanced functionality and flexibility without incurring costly reprogramming. By acting as an input/output module on the ControlLogix backplane, the MVI56E-MCM module presents Modbus data to the processor as I/O data. Furthermore, it features cross-detection capabilities.

Technical notes

The MVI56E-MCM is an enhanced Modbus serial communication module developed by ProSoft Technology for Rockwell Automation's ControlLogix system. Its key technical features include: occupying only one slot in the ControlLogix rack; high-speed data exchange with the ControlLogix processor via the backplane; and providing two independent, isolated serial ports (supporting RS-232/RS-422/RS-485), each independently configurable as a Modbus master or slave, with a maximum baud rate of 115.2 Kbps. Furthermore, this "E" series (enhanced) module integrates an Ethernet configuration port, enabling engineers to remotely diagnose and configure parameters using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software and monitor module status in real-time via a scrolling LED display, without requiring complex ladder logic programming.
