What are the differences between the Rockwell 1756-MVI and the MVI56-ADM module? Can I change an MVI56-ADM module to run the same firmware as a 1756-MVI module?
The MVI56-ADM is essentially the
same product as the 1756-MVI. The 1756-MVI (and MVID) are no longer sold by Rockwell Automation. ProSoft's MVI56-ADM has additional libraries that were not available from Rockwell for the 1756-MVI. These libraries assist the user in setting up a database, debug port, and accessing the backplane and serial ports. The .ima image file is attached to this entry.
Note: For simple ASCII
communications, such as reading/writing to a scale, barcode scanner,
serial printer, etc. we strongly recommend you consider the MVI56E-GSC (serial) or MVI56-GEC (ethernet).
