ControlLogix Enhanced Modbus Master\/Slave Communications Interface Module with Reduced Data Block<\/h2>\n

The MVI56E-MCMR Enhanced Modbus Master\/Slave Communication Module with Reduced Data Block allows Rockwell Automation\u00ae ControlLogix\u00ae processors to easily interface with devices using the Modbus RTU\/ASCII serial communications protocol. Compatible devices include a wide variety of instruments, process measurement devices, popular brands of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs).<\/p>\n

The MVI56E-MCMR acts as an input\/output module on the ControlLogix backplane, making Modbus data appear as I\/O data to the processor. Backplane data transfers to and from the processor are asynchronous from communications on the Modbus network. Two independently-configurable serial ports can operate on the same or different Modbus networks. Each port can be configured as a Modbus Master or Slave, sharing the same user-controlled 5000-word database.<\/p>\n

The MVI56E-MCMR utilizes a reduced Input\/Output (I\/O) data block for transferring data to and from a ControlLogix processor. This reduced data block makes it ideal for use in remote rack applications over ControlNetTM. For EtherNet\/IPTM applications<\/p>\n

where bandwidth is not an issue, it is strongly recommended to use the MVI56E- MCM.<\/p>\n
