Features:

  • Communication module
  • ControlLogix
  • Modbus Communication Module with Reduced Data Block
Specific to the ControlLogix series, the MVI56-MCMR serves as a communication module that supports Modbus protocol functionality. It is versatile in its operation, with the ability to function effectively within a temperature spectrum of 0 to 60 °C. This compact module requires installation in one slot of a remote rack.

The module operates with a significant backplane current draw of 800 mA at 5 VDC, while minimal power consumption is noted at just 3 mA when using a 24 VDC supply. The design necessitates a minimum phase wire size of 1.3 mm², ensuring compatibility across various wiring configurations.

For connectivity, the MVI56-MCMR module incorporates LED indicators that assist in providing visual status updates. Additionally, it supports multiple communication interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422, allowing a baud rate range from 110 baud up to 115200 baud, making it adaptable for different networking needs.

The MVI56-MCMR ProSoft Communication Module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The ProSoft Technology MVI56-MCMR (and enhanced MVI56E-MCMR) is a Modbus Master/Slave module for Rockwell Automation ControlLogix, specifically optimized for remote chassis applications using ControlNet. It uses a reduced 42-word Input/Output image (compared to the 250-word MVI56-MCM) to minimize bandwidth impact, with two configurable serial ports supporting RS-232, 422, and 485
  • Water and Wastewater: Manages processes by exchanging data between control systems and remote monitoring stations.
  • Food Processing: Used in automated production lines for monitoring and control.
  • Oil and Gas: Integration in pipelines and offshore platforms for remote data acquisition.
  • Mining, Pulp, and Paper: Connects disparate legacy equipment to modern ControlLogix systems in harsh environments.

Data Block Size: The MVI56-MCM uses a large 250-word input and 248-word output mapping. The MVI56-MCMR
Network Optimization: The MCMR is specifically designed for ControlNet applications. Its smaller I/O size is easier to schedule in RSNetworx and has a lower impact on other remote I/O bandwidth.
Configuration Method: The MCM is typically configured via ladder logic controller tags. The MCMR is configured using an offline file created in ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB). 
Pass-Thru Feature: Only the MCM supports Modbus Pass-Thru, which allows a master to issue Read and Write commands to the same address. On the MCMR, you must use separate address ranges for Read and Write operations. 

FAQs

  • What is MVI56-MCMR?

    +
    The MVI56-MCMR is a Modbus Master/Slave module for ControlLogix, optimized for remote rack applications (ControlNet) by using a reduced 42-word I/O mapping.
  • How do I prevent data from resetting to 0 during a power loss?

    +
    You can use the Initialize Input Image parameter to cache values from the processor so they are not reset to zero during a module reset or power loss.
  • How do I set the serial port (RS-232/422/485)?

    +
    Jumpers are located at the bottom of the module labeled COM1, COM2, and Setup, allowing you to select the physical standard.
  • What is the pass-thru difference?

    +
    While the MCM supports pass-through for mapping read/write commands, the MCMR requires reading from one address range and writing to another if configured as a slave.
  • How to configure the module?

    +
    The MVI56(E)-MCMR is configured via ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) and uses ladder logic Add-On Instructions (AOI) for integration into RSLogix 5000.
