1. Overview
The PROSOFT MVI46-PDPMV1 is a PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master module designed to enable high-speed data transfer between Rockwell SLC processors (such as the SLC 500 series) and PROFIBUS DP networks using proprietary backplane technology. The module supports Class 1 and Class 2 DP-V1 services for acyclic parameter data, allowing the SLC processor to directly access I/O data from devices on the PROFIBUS network.
2. Key Specifications
- Communication Protocol: PROFIBUS DP-V1 (compliant with IEC 61158)
- Host Compatibility: Designed for SLC processors (e.g., SLC 500 series)
- Backplane Compatibility: 1746 backplane
- Network Type: PROFIBUS DP 1.0 (primarily used for remote I/O systems)
- Maximum Baud Rate: 12 Mbps (supports high‑speed data transfer)
- Memory: On‑board database for data exchange and mailbox communication
- Operating Environment: Industrial-grade, supporting temperatures from -40°C to +85°C
3. Product Features
Proprietary Backplane Technology: Enables high-speed, direct communication between the SLC host and the PROFIBUS network, delivering higher efficiency than traditional gateways.
- Master-Only Operation: Functions exclusively as a PROFIBUS Master and does not support Slave mode.
- Ladder Logic Access: Allows direct reading and writing of PROFIBUS I/O data within the SLC processor’s ladder logic.
- Asynchronous Data Transfer: Supports asynchronous communication between the SLC processor and PROFIBUS devices.
- Write Protect Function: Prevents accidental firmware overwrites by disabling flash memory writes by default. This feature can be configured via jumpers to enable firmware updates in remote racks.
- Diagnostic Capabilities: Provides online diagnostics, CRC checking, and front-panel status LEDs for easy troubleshooting.
4. Structure and Components
- Module Main Body: Installs in an SLC processor slot and includes the backplane interface.
- Jumpers: Located on the rear of the module for configuring write‑protect mode and network parameters such as station address and baud rate.
- Front-Panel LEDs: Typically include power and communication status indicators to show module operation.
- Internal Database: Caches network data and manages mailbox communication.
5. Application Areas
- Petrochemical Industry: Connects large distributed control systems (DCS) with field instruments.
- Power Systems: Used for remote I/O communication in substations.
- Process Automation: Ideal for factory automation systems requiring high reliability and real‑time performance.
- SCADA Systems: Serves as a low‑level I/O interface for monitoring and controlling field devices from a host system.
6. Installation and Maintenance
Installation Steps
- Preparation: Ensure the SLC processor and PROFIBUS devices are ready, and back up the system configuration.
- Hardware Installation: Insert the MVI46-PDPMV1 into an available slot on the SLC backplane and secure it properly.
- Jumper Configuration: Set the rear jumpers according to the network parameters (station address, baud rate, etc.).
- Software Configuration: Use ProSoft’s Configuration Builder tool on a PC to configure the module and download the settings to the SLC processor.
- Wiring: Connect PROFIBUS devices (such as I/O modules and frequency converters) using standard PROFIBUS cabling.
Maintenance Notes
- Write Protection: It is recommended to keep the write‑protect jumper enabled during normal operation to prevent accidental firmware changes.
- Remote Updates: If firmware updates are required in a remote rack, follow the manual instructions to disable write protection temporarily.
- Diagnostics: Monitor communication status through the front‑panel LEDs and diagnostic tools in the SLC software to address issues promptly.
