'C' Programmable Communications Module
MVI71-ADM
The MVI71 Application Development Module is a FLEX backplane compatible module that allows user-developed "C" applications to operate on the PLC 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 PLC platform.
Features and Benefits
Powerful platform for developing and running 'C' applications on Rockwell Automation's PLC processors. The MVI71-ADM module is a single slot, backplane compatible solution for the Rockwell Automation PLC 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.
The MVI71-ADM module has three serial ports, two of which are isolated for field interfaces:
- P1: Debug/configuration RS-232
- P2: Application RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485
- P3: Application RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485
P2 and P3 are 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.
General Specifications
- Operation via simple ladder logic
- Complete setup and monitoring of module through Debug port and user configuration file
- PLC backplane interface via I/O access
Applications
The MVI71-ADM module is the ideal solution for many applications where serial connectivity must be added to a PLC platform. Applications using the MVI71-ADM module include:
- Bar code scanner interface
- Legacy ASCII protocol connections
- Terminal port emulation
- Printer driver (Alarm/status printer)
- Customized protocol implementations
