Scenario: A device that uses an INT value to represent a range of 0 to 65535, but in the processor the INT tag has a range of -32768 to 32767. Since the A/B processor does not have an unsigned Integer data type, you will need to convert this value... Read More

Connect PC to module's debug / configuration port using a null-modem cable Start Hyperterminal, Putty or other comm program and use the following settings: bits per second: 57,600 data bits: 8 parity:... Read More

The M0 and M1 files are slot referenced. The second digit in the address represents the slot number. If the MVI46 or 3150 module is in slot 1 (next to the processor), then the file reference is M0:1.XXXX and M1:1.XXXX If the module is in slot 5,... Read More

There are limits to the number of ProSoft modules that can be placed in your system's rack: 1.  The number of available slots in the chassis. 2.  The size of the power supply used for the chassis; specifically, how much 5vdc... Read More

Here are some of the main advantages of the MVI46-MCM over the 3150-MCM: Direct M0/M1 file access, makes it much easier to configure You do not need to page memory as the 3150-MCM supports baud rates to 115.2 (3150 only to 38.4) 100 Modbus master... Read More

The bios settings have the console enabled. This will cause the MVI46 module to send a series of printf's out the debug port. This does not allow the module to boot up fast enough for the processor, and this will in turn fault the processor.... Read More

No. The MVI46 and 3150 module can only reside in the local or extended rack. Many times a ProLinx 4601-RIO-MCM can work in this type of application. The usage of M1 and M0 files prevents the module from operating in a remote rack. Read More

The following document outlines the ProSoft implementation of the IEC-60870-5-104 Server communication module as pertains to all -104S products.  Read More

Before answering that question, a little history lesson will help understand the issue and the suggested solution. The ProSoft 3250-L532M SLC 5/03 RTU processor's operating system (OS) firmware is 100% compatible only with Allen-Bradley's ... Read More

This particular fault is infrequent but common on the SLC platform.  Without getting into a lot of boring details, it has to do with critical, sub-millisecond timing of backplane messages.  ProSoft has worked closely with Rockwell... Read More

MNETC and MBTCP products use a bit array to each command in each client. In the case of the MVI46-MNETC, each 16 bit register in N50:21 through N50-50 of our sample logic contains the bits to enable or disable the 16 available commands in the 30... Read More
