ProSoft Technology, Inc. Introduces the Application Development Module for 'C' Applications

ProSoft Technology’s ‘C’ programmable modules for ControlLogix are a winner in Control

Engineering’soriginal Engineers' Choice Awards for 2006. The Ethernet (MVI56-ADMNET) and serial (MVI56-ADM) Development Modules for ControlLogix make it possible for users to easily develop and deploy ‘C’ applications that operate in the Rockwell Automation processor. This powerful, programmable, single-slot solution is ideal for many applications where serial or Ethernet connectivity must be added to a ControlLogix platform.

Example applications include:

• Bar Code Scanner interface
• Legacy ASCII protocol connections
• Terminal Port Emulation
• Printer Driver (Alarm/Status printer)
• Customized protocol implementations

MVI56-ADM and MVI56-ADMNET features include:

• Three serial ports: Two jumper configured ports for direct or multi-drop field communication (supporting RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485) and one debug port for setup, configuration and diagnostics
• One Ethernet port (for ADMNET only)
• Independent control of the two application ports allowing maximum flexibility and expandability in the design
• Memory usage is completely user-configurable, supporting the storage and transfer of up to 5000 registers to/from the control processor

Additional ‘C’ Programmable Modules

ADM modules are available in both serial and Ethernet for Rockwell Automation’s CompactLogix, SLC, PLC, CompactLogix, and FLEX I/O platforms, or for Schneider Electric’s Quantum and Unity processors.
