PROSOFT+MVI56-PDPS

Description

The Prosoft MVI56-PDPS Module is a communication interface device designed for use within industrial automation systems. It enables ControlLogix processors from Rockwell Automation to communicate with devices on a PROFIBUS DP (Decentralized Periphery) network.

Product Name: Prosoft MVI56-PDPS PROFIBUS DP Slave Communication Module

Product Description:

This module acts as a bridge between the ControlLogix processor, which typically uses a different communication protocol, and the PROFIBUS DP network. It facilitates data exchange between the ControlLogix system and various PROFIBUS DP devices like:

• Sensors (temperature, pressure, flow, etc.)
• Actuators (valves, motors)
• Drives
• Other industrial controllers

Here’s how it works:

• PROFIBUS DP slave functionality: The MVI56-PDPS module operates as a slave device on the PROFIBUS DP network. This means it communicates with a PROFIBUS DP Master device (typically a PLC) on the network.
• Data exchange: The module enables data transfer between the ControlLogix system and PROFIBUS DP devices. This data can include:
  • Sensor readings: Data acquired by PROFIBUS DP sensors can be transmitted to the ControlLogix system for monitoring and control purposes.
  • Control commands: The ControlLogix system can send control signals through the module to actuators and other devices connected on the PROFIBUS DP network.
  • Configuration data: Module settings and communication parameters can be adjusted using software tools.

Key Features:

• PROFIBUS DP communication: Supports slave functionality on a PROFIBUS DP network.
• ControlLogix compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors.
• Data transfer rate: Supports data transfer rates according to the PROFIBUS DP protocol (typically up to 500 kbps).
• User-configurable: Allows configuration of data mapping and communication parameters for flexible integration within various PROFIBUS DP networks.

Additional Information:

• The specific functionalities and configuration options might vary depending on the revision of the MVI56-PDPS module.
