Emerson FX Communications Module

3150-EMC

The ProSoft 3150-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 3150-EMC (Emerson FX drive master module) product family allows Allen-Bradley 1746 I/O compatible processors to easily interface as a host with up to eight Emerson FX series drives (4 per port). The 3150-EMC (SLC) 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/SLC 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

The Emerson FX master module can be found in many industrial sectors and in the following applications:

• Automated assembly
• Packaging
• Automotive manufacturing
• Converting
• Material handling
