This module provides two fully isolated serial ports, allowing the ControlLogix processor to interface with a wide range of ASCII-based devices such as barcode scanners, weigh scales, printers, and terminal blocks. By offloading serial communication tasks from the main processor, the MVI56-CSC enhances overall system efficiency and simplifies data exchange in industrial automation environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual isolated serial ports for robust communication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 physical interfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable baud rates from 300 to 115,200 bit\/s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect backplane communication with ControlLogix processors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports complex ASCII string handling and data parsing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED status indicators for module health and port activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMVI56-CSC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProSoft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIsolation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaud Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 – 115,200 bit\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 degC to +60 degC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40 degC to +85 degC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHumidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 – 95 % RH (non-condensing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the ControlLogix rack is powered down before inserting or removing the module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide the module into any available slot in the ControlLogix chassis and secure it using the top and bottom locking tabs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse shielded communication cables to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise industrial environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure proper grounding of the serial cable shields at the device end to prevent ground loops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify that the serial interface configuration (RS-232\/422\/485) matches the requirements of the connected field device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat type of devices can connect to the MVI56-CSC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module is designed to communicate with any ASCII-based serial device, including barcode scanners, weigh scales, LED marquees, and legacy serial instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes this module require external power?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the MVI56-CSC draws its power directly from the ControlLogix backplane.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ProSoft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50616318361852,"sku":"MVI56-CSC","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/9983\/1292\/files\/wm_1_a4dda22e-7947-4068-8919-8e0307e66b96.jpg?v=1784868815","url":"https:\/\/www.electronicplc.com\/products\/mvi56-csc-prosoft-controllogix-ascii-communication-module","provider":"Electronic PLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
