Prosoft MVI71-mcm modbus module for allen-bradley PLC5
* Modbus module for the Allen-BradleyPLC5 platform
* Provides a debug port which allows the user to view module configuration and status
* Provides a built-in data analyzer for troubleshooting communication problems with the attached Modbus devices
* Based on a 16-bit processor
* Provides 5000 registers for data transfer
* Supports baud rates of up to 115,200 on the serial port (3100-mcm supports 38,400 max)
* 100 Modbus commands per port
The MVI71-MCM Modbus Master/Slave Communication Module is designed to allow PLC processors to interface easily with Modbus protocol-compatible devices and hosts. The module acts as an input/output module between the Modbus network and the Rockwell Automation backplane. The data transfer from the PLC processor is asynchronous from the actions on the Modbus network. A 5000-word register space in the module exchanges data between the processor and the Modbus network. Many host SCADA packages support the Modbus protocol, while devices commonly supporting the protocol include several PLCs, as well as many other third party devices in the marketplace.
