ASCII

The ProSoft Technology MVI69 Generic ASCII Serial module is a fast and easy way to add two fully configurable ASCII communication ports to the CompactLogix platform without consuming the front port of the processor.

The ProSoft Technology Generic ASCII Serial Interface Module Single Port is a fast and easy way to add a fully configurable ASCII communication port to the FLEX platform without consuming the front port of the processor.

The Generic ASCII Serial Enhanced Communication Modules allow Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to easily interface with serial devices using non-specific ASCII character text string or byte value serial communication protocols.

MVI56E-GSC enhancements include local and remote diagnostics through the module's Ethernet port, and CIPconnect technology for bridging through Rockwell Automation ControlNet and EtherNet/IP networks.

The module is a single-slot, backplane-compatible solution. Each port is capable of sending and receiving large ASCII character strings or byte streams of up to 4096 characters or bytes. Many different serial communication devices can be integrated into the ControlLogix platform by building upon the sample ladder logic provided for this module.

The MVI56E-GSC and MVI56E-GSCXT are functionally the same. The MVI56E-GSC is designed for standard process applications. The MVI56E-GSCXT is designed for the Logix-XT™ control platform, allowing it to operate in extreme environments. It tolerates higher operating temperatures, and has a conformal coating to protect it from harsh or caustic conditions.

The MVI46 Generic ASCII Serial Interface Module is a fast and easy way to add two fully configurable ASCII communication ports to the SLC platform without consuming the front port of the processor, or using valuable processing time.

The MVI71 Generic ASCII Serial Interface Module is a fast and easy way to add two fully configurable ASCII communication ports to the PLC platform without consuming the front port of the processor.
