Emerson FX Drive Communications Interface Module

3100-EMC

The ProSoft 3100-EMC Master Module allows the user to easily configure one or both ports to actively exchange data with up to eight Emerson FX Drives.

The 3100-EMC (Emerson FX Drive Master Module) product family allows Allen-Bradley 1771 compatible processors to easily interface as a host with up to eight Emerson FX Series Drives (4 per port). The 3100-EMC (PLC) Emerson FX Drive Master Modules is a single slot solution, which communicates directly over the backplane with the respective Allen-Bradley processors.

Features

Simple to Use
All module setup and operating control is performed over the backplane through simple ladder logic and data table configuration. The only software needed is a ladder-programming package.

Hands Off Operation
Once the EMC module has been setup for operation, the card is capable of accessing many of the drive's configuration and control parameters. The EMC module is integrated directly into the PLC rack, forming a tightly integrated and practical solution. Once configured, the module will perform all protocol related functions as commanded by the ladder logic program.

Installation, Set Up and Operation
The ProSoft module installs in any slot in a local or extended rack (or a remote rack in the case of the 3100 module). The product's capabilities are enabled and controlled with simple ladder logic and data table initialization.

Applications

Applications involving the Emerson FX Master module can be found in many industrial sectors and in the following applications:

Automated assembly
