Description

The ProSoft MVI56-ADM is an ASCII Communication Module designed for integration with Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors. This module provides a high-performance interface for devices using ASCII communication, such as barcode scanners, weigh scales, and printers, allowing them to exchange data seamlessly with the ControlLogix backplane. It acts as a bridge, enabling the PLC to read and write ASCII strings through standard serial communication protocols.

Features

  • Supports two fully isolated serial ports for flexible device connectivity.
  • Configurable baud rates ranging from 110 to 115,200 bps to match various peripheral requirements.
  • Data transfer is managed via ladder logic, simplifying integration into existing ControlLogix projects.
  • Provides 500V optical isolation from the backplane to protect sensitive control hardware from electrical noise and surges.
  • Compatible with both local and remote ControlLogix racks.

Applications

The MVI56-ADM is widely utilized in industrial automation environments where legacy or specialized serial devices must communicate with modern PLC systems. Common applications include material handling systems, warehouse logistics for barcode scanning, process weighing, and serial printer integration in manufacturing lines.

Installation Guidelines

  • Ensure the ControlLogix rack power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
  • Slide the module into any available slot in the ControlLogix chassis and secure it using the top and bottom latching mechanisms.
  • Use shielded serial cables to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise industrial environments.
  • Verify that the module is properly grounded through the chassis backplane.
  • Configure the serial port parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits) via the ControlLogix software to match the connected peripheral device.

FAQ

Q: Is the MVI56-ADM compatible with all ControlLogix chassis?
A: Yes, the module is designed for standard ControlLogix backplanes and can be installed in either local or remote rack configurations.

Q: How is data transferred between the module and the PLC?
A: The module uses ladder logic for data transfer, allowing the processor to access ASCII data directly through the backplane memory map.
