Technical Specifications

Product Description

The ProSoft MVI56-ADM offers a programmable solution designed for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix processors. It enables users to integrate custom ‘C’ programs directly on the ControlLogix platform, making it perfect for custom communication protocols. Whether you need to streamline ASCII data transfer or protect your proprietary algorithms, this module gives you the flexibility to meet your specific needs.

With two serial ports and application-specific ports (PRT1 and PRT2), the MVI56-ADM module connects easily to a range of industrial devices. The debugging/configuration port further simplifies setup and configuration. This module supports high-speed communication, with a Baud rate range from 110 to 115,200, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer.

The MVI56-ADM is built for harsh environments. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) and can handle 30g shock and 50g non-operational shock. It can also endure 5g vibration at frequencies between 10 to 150 Hz, ensuring stable performance in demanding conditions.

LED Indicators

The MVI56-ADM is equipped with multiple LED indicators that provide real-time updates on:

• Module status
• Backplane transfer status
• Application status
• Serial activity (debug port)

Application Areas

The ProSoft MVI56-ADM is well-suited for industries requiring high-speed data transfer and custom control logic, such as:

• Manufacturing
• Petrochemical
• Food Processing
• Pulp and Paper

Installation Guidelines

1. Always power off the system before installation.
2. Insert the module into a single-slot 1756 backplane.
3. Connect the Ethernet and RS232 cables for configuration and serial communication.
4. Verify all connections and configurations before powering up the system.
