PROSOFT MVI46 MCM

The ProSoft MVI46‑MCM is a multi‑protocol communication module designed for industrial automation applications. It is specifically engineered for Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix PLC series (such as the 1756 ControlLogix platform), enabling seamless communication between the PLC and a wide range of devices or networks from different manufacturers.

1. Overview

Definition: The MVI46‑MCM is part of ProSoft Technology’s MVI46 product line and belongs to the MCM (Modular Communication Module) family. It is designed to solve protocol compatibility issues between diverse automation devices.

Core Functionality: It enables interoperability between Rockwell Automation PLCs and multi‑vendor equipment (such as Siemens devices, Modbus‑compatible equipment, etc.), supporting data exchange, remote control, and other communication tasks.

2. Parameters and Technical Specifications

Power and Power Consumption:

Power consumption: Approximately 800 mA at 5V DC, compliant with ControlLogix backplane current specifications.

Operating Temperature:

Range: -40°C to 60°C (5% to 95% non‑condensing relative humidity).

Physical Characteristics:

Dimensions: Standard 1756 ControlLogix backplane slot size, single‑slot design.
Weight: Approximately 2 kg (varies slightly by specific model).

3. Product Features

Multi‑Protocol Support:

Compatible with Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, Profibus, DeviceNet, ControlNet, and other major industrial communication protocols.

High Integration:

Single‑slot, plug‑and‑play design saves rack space and reduces wiring complexity.

Easy Configuration:

Configurable via Rockwell’s RSLogix 5000 software. Some models allow direct viewing of module status and data within the PLC.

High Reliability:

Industrial‑grade EMC performance and strong anti‑interference capabilities ensure stable operation in harsh environments.

4. Structure and Components

Hardware Components:

CPU/FPGA: For protocol conversion and data processing.
Interface Terminals: Provide various physical connections (e.g., RJ45 Ethernet ports, DB9 serial ports).
Indicators: Display communication status (e.g., blue for normal operation, yellow for errors).

Software Components:

EDS File: After installing the Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file, the PLC can recognize the module and configure communication settings.
Configuration Tools: Typically used with Rockwell software or ProSoft’s GSDML files.

5. Application Areas

Cross‑Brand Integration:

Unifies control on production lines that include both Rockwell PLCs and equipment from other vendors such as Siemens or Modbus devices.

Legacy Device Networking:

Connects traditional serial (RS‑232/RS‑485) devices to modern Ethernet‑based systems.

Remote Monitoring:

Uploads field device data to SCADA systems or cloud platforms via protocols such as Modbus TCP.

6. Installation and Maintenance

Installation:

Method: Insert directly into a ControlLogix backplane slot or install in a remote rack (depending on the model).
Note: Ensure the EDS file is properly registered before installation so the PLC can recognize the module.

Maintenance:

Monitoring: Check communication status by reading module status bits in the PLC program (e.g., red or yellow indicator status).
Firmware Upgrade: Update firmware as needed to support new protocol features or resolve known issues.
