ProSoft MVI69-GSC ASCII Serial Interface Module

Overview

The ProSoft MVI69-GSC Generic ASCII Serial Interface Module is designed to simplify adding two fully configurable ASCII communication ports to the CompactLogix and MicroLogix platforms. It enables seamless ASCII communication without occupying processor front ports or consuming valuable processing time. This module efficiently handles communication between ASCII-supporting devices and the CompactLogix/MicroLogix system, ensuring smooth data transfer.

Key Features

Two Configurable ASCII Ports: The MVI69-GSC provides two ports for sending and receiving large ASCII character strings, offering high communication flexibility.
Easy Integration: This module integrates ASCII-supporting devices into the CompactLogix or MicroLogix platform using ladder logic for simple setup and operation.
Minimal Processor Load: By offloading ASCII communication to the module, it ensures processor resources are freed up for other tasks.
