INRAX-MVI94-MCM PROSOFT

INRAX-MVI94-MCM PROSOFT Multi-Function Processor Module

Product  Description：

A PROSOFT Multi-Function Processor Module is essentially a specialized computing engine that plugs directly into a PLC backplane (e.g., ControlLogix chassis). Unlike standard I/O modules, these modules contain their own powerful processors, memory, and operating systems. This allows them to execute complex algorithms, manage high-speed data transfers, and handle diverse communication protocols independently of the main PLC CPU. They are often used to bridge gaps in native PLC functionality, such as connecting to non-Ethernet networks, performing advanced calculations, or handling large data sets.

Key Functions

• Protocol Conversion and Gateway: Acting as a gateway between the PLC and various industrial networks like Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, OPC UA, or custom serial protocols. This allows the PLC to communicate with devices that speak different languages.

• Data Concentration and Pre-processing: Collecting data from multiple devices, performing local processing (e.g., scaling, averaging, alarming), and then presenting aggregated data to the PLC, reducing the load on the main processor.

• Application-Specific Co-processing: Running dedicated applications such as historical data logging, recipe management, advanced PID control, or custom algorithms that require significant processing power or specific timing not typically available in a standard PLC.

• High-Speed Communication: Handling high-bandwidth or time-critical communication tasks that would otherwise burden the PLC.

• Legacy System Integration: Providing a bridge to older or proprietary systems that lack modern communication interfaces.

Product Parameters (Typical)

Parameters vary significantly based on the specific module model and its intended functionality.

• Host Platform Compatibility: (e.g., ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PLC-5, Quantum).

• Supported Protocols: (e.g., Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server, Modbus RTU Master/Slave, EtherNet/IP Scanner/Adapter, PROFINET IO Controller/Device, DF1, ASCII, OPC UA, DNP3, IEC 61850).

• Number of Ports: (e.g., 1-4 Ethernet ports, 1-8 Serial ports).

• Data Throughput/Update Rate: (e.g., data transfer rates, response times for specific protocols).

• Memory: (e.g., Internal memory for data buffering, program storage).

• Processor Speed: (e.g., specific CPU architecture and clock speed).

• Configuration Software: (e.g., PROSOFT's ProTalk, PSC, or web-based configuration).

• Power Consumption: (e.g., current draw from the backplane).

• Operating Temperature: Wide industrial range (e.g., -25°C to +70°C).

• Certifications: (e.g., CE, UL, Class I, Div 2 for hazardous locations).

• Firmware Upgradeability: Support for field upgrades to add new features or bug fixes.

Product Advantages

• Extended PLC Functionality: Significantly expands the capabilities of the host PLC by adding specialized communication, processing, and application features not natively available.

• Offloading PLC CPU: Reduces the workload on the main PLC processor, freeing up its resources for critical control tasks and improving overall system performance.

• Seamless Integration: Designed to integrate directly into the PLC chassis, leveraging the existing power supply and backplane communication.

• Robust Industrial Design: Built for harsh industrial environments, ensuring reliability and longevity.

• Simplified Data Exchange: Provides straightforward data mapping and exchange between the module and PLC tags, simplifying programming and integration.

• Scalability: Allows for modular expansion of communication and processing capabilities as system requirements grow.

• Standardized Tools: Often configured using common industrial software tools or dedicated ProSoft utilities that are intuitive for automation professionals.

Precautions

• Compatibility: Always confirm that the specific PROSOFT module is compatible with your PLC platform, firmware version, and desired communication protocol.

• Configuration: Proper and meticulous configuration of the module's parameters is critical. Incorrect settings can lead to communication failures, data corruption, or unexpected system behavior. Refer to the module's specific manual.

• Network Addressing: Ensure correct IP addressing, subnet masks, and gateway settings for Ethernet modules, and proper serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) for serial modules.

• Power Consumption: Verify that the PLC power supply and chassis can accommodate the power consumption of the PROSOFT module along with all other installed modules.

• Firmware Updates: While advantageous, firmware updates should be performed carefully, following PROSOFT's guidelines, as improper updates can render the module inoperable.

• Safety Considerations: Understand how the module's operation might affect critical control loops or safety interlocks, especially if it's involved in data used for machine control.

• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment (temperature, humidity, vibration) is within the module's specified limits.
