PROSOFT MVI56-MNET Power Module
PROSOFT MVI56-MNET
Overview
The ProSoft MVI46-ADMNET is a communication module developed by ProSoft Technology, specifically engineered for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series PLCs. Its core function is to establish a connection between the SLC 500 and host computers or other network devices via Ethernet, while also supporting communication over multiple industrial protocols such as Modbus RTU through its comprehensive set of serial ports.
Specifications
The power requirement of the module is 800mA at 5.1VDC. It is equipped with a 1-port Ethernet (RJ45) interface, a 1-port RS-232 configuration interface, and 2-port serial application interfaces (PRT1 and PRT2). Designed exclusively for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 platform, it supports backplane bus communication of the SLC 500 series. LED indicator lights are integrated to reflect communication status and error alerts in real time.
Key Features
The module boasts dual communication capabilities, featuring both Ethernet connectivity and two independent serial ports that make it ideal for deployment in complex field network environments. It offers multi-protocol support, being compatible with industrial communication protocols like Modbus RTU and capable of operating as either a Modbus TCP master or slave device. A C language-based API library is provided, including function calls for initialization, debug port configuration, database read/write operations, backplane data transmission, and configuration file parsing, which facilitates secondary development for developers. High reliability is ensured by the inclusion of an RS-232 configuration port for module setup and support for multi-point connections, which enhances the stability and flexibility of communication processes.
Structure and Components
The core control unit is responsible for managing communication with the SLC 500 and executing protocol conversion logic. The communication interface board integrates 1 Ethernet interface and 2 serial interfaces, serving as the connection point for field devices and networks. The indicator light module is dedicated to displaying module status, error codes, and communication activity, enabling operators to monitor the module’s operational condition at a glance.
Application Areas
In industrial automation control, the module is widely used in scenarios where real-time data exchange is required between the SLC 500 and host computers such as SCADA systems. As a Modbus gateway, it enables the integration of traditional RS-485 field devices including frequency converters and instruments into Ethernet systems, addressing the need for field device networking. It also plays a critical role in multi-protocol integration, acting as a data bridge to facilitate interoperability between different communication protocols in heterogeneous network environments.
Installation and Maintenance
For installation, the module needs to be inserted into the SLC 500 backplane and secured with screws. During the installation process, it is essential to ensure that the backplane is powered correctly and to prevent electrostatic discharge, which could cause damage to the module. Configuration is carried out by connecting a PC to the module’s RS-232 configuration port and using ProSoft’s dedicated configuration tools such as ProConfig to set parameters including the Ethernet IP address and serial port parameters. For maintenance, regular checks of the indicator light status are recommended, and ProSoft’s diagnostic tools should be utilized for system debugging and troubleshooting. It is advisable that module replacement or repair work be performed by technically qualified professionals to ensure safety and performance.
