Overview Manuals Specifications Application Firmware and Updates Programming

Features:

  • The MVI56-MCMR features Modbus Master and Slave protocol support for seamless integration with Modbus networks.
  • This model includes a reduced data block design that optimizes data transfer efficiency for streamlined communication applications.
  • The MVI56-MCMR offers multiple physical interfaces including RS232, RS422, and RS485 with included adapters for flexible field wiring.
The MVI56-MCMR provides essential communication functions common to the ControlLogix platform, and is a critical component directly affecting the ability to exchange data with Modbus networks. It includes multiple interface options with RS232, RS422, and RS485 connectivity, accommodating various field wiring requirements. The MVI56-MCMR comes with a null modem cable for RS232 connection to the configuration port, and RJ45 to DB9 adapter cables for DB9 connections, simplifying installation.

For applications requiring flexible field wiring, the MVI56-MCMR includes two DB9 female to screw terminal adapters for RS422 or RS485 connections to Port 1 and Port 2. These adapters simplify termination in industrial environments where screw terminal connections are preferred. The MVI56-MCMR ships with a ProSoft Solutions CD containing sample programs, utilities, and comprehensive documentation to assist with configuration and deployment.

The MVI56-MCMR solves the critical pain point of integrating ControlLogix systems with Modbus networks by providing a dedicated communication module with multiple physical interface options. Its reduced data block design optimizes data throughput for applications where efficient data transfer is essential. The MVI56-MCMR ensures reliable Modbus communication for industrial automation applications in manufacturing, oil and gas, water treatment, and power generation industries.

The MVI56-MCMR PROSOFT Modbus Communication Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Energy Management and Power Monitoring: Connects to digital power meters, protection relays, circuit breakers, and variable frequency drives (VFDs) to acquire current, voltage, and power consumption data.
  • Oil, Gas, and Water Treatment: Communicates with remote terminal units (RTUs), flow meters, PLCs, or smart analyzers.
  • Building Automation: Integrates air conditioning (HVAC) controllers, lighting control systems, and backup generator sets.
  • Firmware Upgrade Requirement: A firmware update is required when the module experiences communication instability, data loss, or requires support for updated backplane protocols (such as the new ControlLogix processor).
  • Update Method: Connect the module to a PC via the Mini-DIN (RS-232) configuration port on the front. Use a dedicated loading tool provided by ProSoft (such as the updater built into ProSoft Configuration Builder) to flash the firmware.
  • Version Check: Before updating, it is recommended to check the current firmware version using the status data block generated by the module or the diagnostic port to ensure that the upgrade file matches the hardware revision.
  • Importing Add-On Instruction (AOI): ProSoft provides pre-written AOIs, simplifying the data transfer logic between module memory and PLC tags.
  • Backplane Transfer Logic: Modules exchange data with the processor in blocks of 40 to 200 bytes. The PLC program must include logic to handle the read and write confirmations of these data blocks.
  • Diagnostic Programming: Developers typically add communication status monitoring bits (such as Error Codes) to the PLC program to display the Modbus network health status in real time on the touchscreen (HMI).
Description
The MVI56-MCMR operates as a Modbus communication module within the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix platform, providing reliable connectivity between ControlLogix processors and Modbus networks. It supports both Modbus Master and Slave protocols, enabling flexible integration with a wide range of Modbus-compatible field devices. 

The MVI56-MCMR includes multiple interface options with RS232, RS422, and RS485 connectivity, accommodating various field wiring requirements. The module comes with a null modem cable for RS232 connection to the configuration port, and RJ45 to DB9 adapter cables for DB9 connections. 

For installation, the MVI56-MCMR is designed to snap securely into the ControlLogix rack with holding clips that lock into the rack's backplane. Proper slot identification is critical, as the slot number must be noted for correct sample program operation. 

The MVI56-MCMR solves the critical pain point of integrating ControlLogix systems with Modbus networks by providing a dedicated communication module with multiple physical interface options. Its reduced data block design optimizes data throughput for applications where efficient data transfer is essential.
