MVI56-MBP
ProSoft MVI56-MBP Modbus Plus Communication Module (for Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Systems)
2. Product Description
The MVI56-MBP module is a high-performance, application-specific communication interface developed by ProSoft Technology, exclusively designed to integrate Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs) with Modbus Plus (MB+) industrial networks. As a key bridging component in industrial automation architectures, it enables seamless data exchange between ControlLogix systems and Modbus Plus-compatible devices—such as PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and variable frequency drives (VFDs)—across manufacturing, energy, and process industries.
Its core functionality revolves around bidirectional data transmission: it retrieves data from Modbus Plus slave devices (e.g., temperature transmitters, pressure sensors) and sends it to the ControlLogix PAC for logic processing, while also transmitting control commands from the PAC to Modbus Plus master/slave devices to regulate industrial processes. Key features include:
- Native ControlLogix Compatibility: Utilizes the ControlLogix backplane for power and data, eliminating the need for extern
