Features:

  • Single-Slot Modbus Communication Module for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Platform
  • Supports Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII Protocols with Simultaneous Master/Slave Operation
  • Integrates Ethernet Port for Remote Configuration and Diagnostics
The ProSoft MVI56E-MCM single-slot ControlLogix communication module serves as the Modbus gateway within a ControlLogix rack, enabling robust serial communication between the ControlLogix processor and Modbus devices. It continuously handles protocol conversion and data exchange across RS-232 or RS-485 serial interfaces, supporting baud rates up to 115.2 kbps to ensure reliable throughput for all connected field devices and controllers. Seamless protocol translation is standard with the MVI56E-MCM, however utilizing the Enhanced Communication Module features will allow advanced diagnostics and remote monitoring capabilities through the integrated Ethernet port in the event of complex network configurations.

The MVI56E-MCM provides essential Modbus communication functions common to the entire control network, and is a critical component of the data exchange path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall automation system. One MVI56E-MCM module is required per ControlLogix rack depending on the desired communication topology. The MVI56E-MCM occupies only a single full-height slot in the rack and can be installed in any available slot position (not restricted to specific slots, unlike dedicated power supply positions).

For Dual Port Operation applications, the MVI56E-MCM supports two independent serial ports configurable for different Modbus networks. In addition to standard single port operation, the dual port configuration also performs simultaneous master and slave functions. The MVI56E-MCM dual port configuration executes protocol handling using the internal circuitry specified in the module options. Using this method, the redundant communication system continually monitors the health of both serial channels. If the system detects that the primary serial port is no longer providing stable communication (outside configured error/tolerance levels), it will automatically transfer the data handling to the secondary port and log an event in the Module Event Log.

The MVI56E-MCM ProSoft single-slot ControlLogix communication module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

General

  • Manufacturer ProSoft
  • Model MVI56E-MCM
  • Condition New Original ready stock
  • Product Family MVI56E-MCMXT,MVI56E-MCMs,MVI56E-MCMR
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.
  • Industrial Connectivity: Ideal for interfacing with a wide range of devices including PLCs, PACs, instruments, and process measurement devices using Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols.
  • SCADA Systems: Acts as a gateway to move data from field devices to a centralized SCADA or HMI system through the ControlLogix backplane.
  • Remote I/O Integration: Can be installed in local or remote racks; the MVI56E-MCM is recommended for high-bandwidth Ethernet applications, while the MVI56E-MCMR is optimized for bandwidth-limited remote racks like ControlNet.
  • Harsh Environments: The MVI56E-MCMXT variant is specifically designed for extreme conditions, supporting temperatures from -25°C to 70°C with protective conformal coating.
  • Dual Independently Configurable Ports: Two serial ports that can each be set as a Modbus Master or Slave, supporting RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.
  • Large Data Mapping: Includes a 10,000-word user-definable database (16-bit registers) for extensive memory mapping between the network and the processor.
  • Protocol Flexibility: Supports standard Modbus function codes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16, 17, 22, and 23) and Enron Modbus for floating-point data transactions.
  • Streamlined Configuration: Integrated into Studio 5000/RSLogix 5000 via a single Add-On Instruction (AOI), eliminating the need for external configuration software.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Features a 4-character scrolling LED display that shows status, error codes, and port information in plain English.
  • Network Analyzer: Includes a built-in Modbus network analyzer accessible through ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) to troubleshoot communication issues.
  • Disaster Recovery: The Personality Module (non-volatile CF card) stores all configuration settings, allowing for rapid hardware replacement without manual reprogramming.
  • Hardware Protections: 500V Optical Isolation on serial ports to protect the backplane from electrical noise or surges.
Description
The ProSoft MVI56E-MCM Communication Module offers seamless connectivity between Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors and Modbus RTU/ASCII devices, allowing for easy integration of Modbus networks into ControlLogix-based systems. This versatile module supports both Modbus Master and Slave configurations, enabling it to communicate with a variety of Modbus devices. Each of the MVI56E module’s serial ports can be individually configured to function as either a Master or a Slave, providing great flexibility in system design.

Designed for use in industrial environments, the MVI56E-MCM module acts as an I/O module on the ControlLogix backplane, with Modbus data appearing as I/O data to the processor. The module supports two independently configurable serial ports, which can operate on the same or different Modbus networks, enabling it to handle multiple communication tasks simultaneously. This feature makes the MVI56E-MCM ideal for standard process control applications that require efficient Modbus communication.

For more demanding environments, the MVI56E-MCM variant is available. The MVI56E-MCMXT module is designed specifically for use with the Logix-XT™ control platform, providing enhanced durability and performance in extreme conditions. It offers higher operating temperature tolerance and includes a conformal coating, making it resistant to harsh or caustic conditions such as high humidity, dust, and chemicals. The MVI56E-MCMXT is the ideal solution for industries where standard modules cannot withstand challenging operational environments.
