The MVI94 Application Development Module is a FLEX backplane compatible module that allows user-developed ‘C’ applications to operate on the FLEX platform. A great way to speed up custom ASCII data communications or to protect a proprietary algorithm, the ADM is a powerful tool for the FLEX platform.<\/p>\n
Powerful platform for developing and running ‘C’ applications on Rockwell Automation’s FLEX I\/O processors. The MVI94-ADM module is a single slot, backplane compatible solution for the Rockwell Automation FLEX I\/O and Integra I\/O platforms. This module is a powerful and programmable solution supporting two fully isolated serial ports allowing serial field devices to be integrated into the FLEX platforms.<\/p>\n
The MVI94-ADM module has two serial ports, both of which are isolated for field interfaces:<\/p>\n
PRT2 is jumper configured for direct or multi-drop field communication. The application program can be written to control the two application ports independently, allowing maximum flexibility in the design.<\/p>\n
The MVI94-ADM module is the ideal solution for many applications where serial connectivity must be added to a FLEX platform. Applications using the MVI94-ADM module include:<\/p>\n
The port on the DF1 module can be configured as a Master port. When configured in master mode, the DFCM module is capable of reading and writing data to remote DF1 devices, enabling the Flex platform to act as a SCADA sub-master.<\/p>\n
The module accepts DF1 commands from an attached DF1 master unit. When in slave mode, the module can accept DF1 commands from a master to read\/write data stored in the module’s internal registers. This data can be derived from other DF1 slave devices on the network through a master port or from the processor and is easily transferred to the processor’s data registers.<\/p>\n
