ProSoft MVI56E-MCM Modbus Communication Module

Product Overview

The MVI56E-MCM Modbus Communication Module enables direct connectivity between Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors and Modbus RTU/ASCII devices. It supports both Modbus® Master and Slave configurations. You can independently configure each serial port as either a Master or a Slave, which provides flexibility in system design.

The MVI56E-MCM serve as input/output modules on the ControlLogix® backplane. This configuration allows Modbus data to be processed as standard I/O data. Additionally, you can configure both serial ports to connect to either the same or different Modbus networks. While the is perfect for standard process applications, the stands out for its ability to perform in extreme environmental conditions. It tolerates higher temperatures and features a conformal coating that protects it from harsh or corrosive environments.

Key Features:

Dual-Port Configuration: Both ports function independently, either as Master or Slave.
Modbus RTU/ASCII Support: Compatible with a wide range of Modbus devices.
Seamless Integration: The module integrates as I/O data with ControlLogix® processors.
High-Temperature Tolerance : Designed to withstand higher temperatures.
Conformal Coating: Protects against harsh, corrosive environments.
