Application Development Module
MVI46-ADM
The MVI46 Application Development Module is an SLC backplane compatible module that allows user-developed "C" applications to operate on the SLC 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 SLC platform.
Features
Powerful platform for developing and running 'C' applications on Rockwell Automation's SLC processors. The MVI46-ADM module is a single slot, backplane compatible solution for the Rockwell Automation SLC platform. This module is a powerful and programmable solution supporting two fully isolated serial ports allowing the many serial field devices to be integrated into the SLC platform.
The MVI46-ADM module has three serial ports, two of which are isolated for field interfaces:
- CFG: Debug/configuration RS-232
- PRT1: Application RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485
- PRT2: Application RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485
PRT1 and PRT2 are jumper configured for direct or Multidrop field communication. The application program can be written to control the two application ports independently, allowing maximum flexibility in the design.
General Specifications
- Single Slot - 1746 backplane compatible (Local or extended I/O rack only. Remote rack not supported)
- The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor and module using M0/M1 files
- Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor
- Configuration data obtained through user-defined ladder. Sample ladder file included
Applications
The MVI46-ADM module is the ideal solution for many applications where serial connectivity must be added to a SLC platform. Applications using the MVI46-ADM module:
- Bar code scanner interface
- Legacy ASCII protocol connections
- Terminal port emulation
- Printer driver (alarm/status printer)
- Customized protocol implementations
