The ProSoft Technology Generic ASCII Serial Single Port Interface Module is a fast and easy way to add a fully configurable ASCII communication port to the FLEX platform without consuming the front port of the processor.\u00a0The MVI94-GSC-E module is the ideal solution for the many applications where ASCII character communications must be added to the FLEX platform.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The MVI94-GSC-E allows Rockwell Automation Flex I\/O compatible processors to interface easily with other serial communication devices. Compatible devices include bar code readers, scanners, scales, printers, terminals and any other serial communication devices<\/p>\n
The MVI94-GSC-E module is the ideal solution for the many applications where ASCII character communications must be added to the FLEX platform. Applications using the MVI94-GSC-E module can be found in many industrial sectors generally involving the following applications:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/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
<\/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
