Information

Overview Manuals Technical notes Product Applications

Features:

  • Single Slot - 1756 ControlLogix® backplane compatible
  • PCB includes powerful Modbus network analyzer
  • Supports Enron version of Modbus protocol for floating-point data transactions
  • Modbus Master/Slave Enhanced Network Interface Module
  • 10/100 MB Ethernet port for network configuration and diagnostics with Auto Cable Crossover Detection
The MVI56E Communication Module allows for Modbus Master and/or Slave connectivity from Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors to Modbus RTU/ASCII devices. Each MVI56E port can be configured as a Master or Slave. The MVI56E-MCM and MVI56E-MCMXT act as input/output modules on theControlLogix backplane, making Modbus data appear as I/O data to the processor.Two independently configurable serial ports can operate on the same or differentModbus networks. The MVI56E-MCM is designed for standard processapplications and the MVI56E-MCMXT is designed for the Logix-XT™ controlplatform, allowing it to operate in extreme environments. It can tolerate higheroperating temperatures, and has conformal coating to protect it from harsh orcaustic conditions.

The MVI56E-MCM ProSoft Communication Module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

  • How is the MVI56E-MCM configured?

    +
    The module is configured using Add-On Instructions (AOI) in RSLogix 5000/Studio 5000, where parameters are stored within the project (.ACD file).
  • Does the MVI56E-MCM support RS-485 full-duplex?

    +
    No, the module only supports RS-485 half-duplex (2-wire) mode.
  • What has been added to the MVI56E-MCM module with the revision3 firmware?

    +
    The MVI56E-MCM module has been upgraded to provide support for up to a maximum of325 Modbus commands per port, when the module is operating as a Modbus master pollingdata from various slave devices. The version 2 firmware only supported a maximum of100 commands per port, and this created a limitation in some systems.The module additionally has seen an increase in the total database size of the module. Therevision 3 firmware now supports up to a maximum of 10,000 registers (16-bit INT) to beexchanged between the ControlLogix processor and the module. The previous revision 2firmware only supported 5000 registers.
  • Is the MVI56E-MCM rev3 module backwards compatible with my oldAdd on Instruction (AOI) or ladder logic?

    +
    Yes, a revision 3 firmware module can operate with revision 2 AOI or ladder logic withoutany issues. Replacing a revision 2 module with a new revision 3 unit requires no changesto your AOI or Ladder Logic.
