MVI56E-SIE PROSOFT Processor module
Product Description：
PROSOFT processor modules are typically in-chassis modules that fit directly into the backplane of popular Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs), most notably Rockwell Automation's ControlLogix and CompactLogix platforms. These modules are "application-specific" in their communication capabilities, offering robust and reliable connectivity for various industrial networks and protocols that the standard PLC processor may not natively support or cannot handle efficiently. They allow disparate equipment to share information and transfer critical control data, playing a vital role in integrating new and legacy systems within the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) architecture.
Key Functions
- Protocol Conversion: The primary function, enabling communication between devices using different industrial protocols (e.g., Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, DNP3, IEC 61850).
- Data Exchange and Mapping: Facilitating the seamless transfer of data between the in-chassis module's memory and the PLC/PAC's processor memory, often through block transfers or explicit messaging.
- Offloading PLC Processing: By handling complex communication tasks, these modules reduce the load on the main PLC CPU, allowing it to focus on its core control logic.
- Custom Applications: Some advanced modules, like Linux Development Modules (LDM), allow users to write custom C/C++ applications for proprietary protocols or unique data processing requirements.
- Diagnostic Capabilities: Often include built-in diagnostics and status indicators (LEDs) for easy troubleshooting and monitoring of communication health.
Product Parameters (Typical)
Parameters vary widely based on the specific module's function and the PLC platform it supports.
- Supported PLC/PAC Platforms: Rockwell Automation ControlLogix (e.g., MVI56 Series, MVI56E Series), CompactLogix (e.g., MVI69 Series, MVI69E Series), SLC, PLC-5. PROSOFT also offers standalone gateways (PLX Series) for DIN-rail mounting.
- Communication Protocols: Specific to the module (e.g., Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server, Modbus Serial Master/Slave, PROFIBUS DP Master/Slave, EtherNet/IP Scanner/Adapter, PROFINET Controller/Device, DNP3 Master/Slave, IEC 61850 Client/Server).
- Number of Ports: Typically 1 to 2 Ethernet ports (RJ45) or 1 to 4 serial ports (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485), depending on the module.
- Data Throughput/Memory: Varies from hundreds to thousands of words/registers for data exchange with the PLC (e.g., 4000 words, 10,000 words, or up to 1536 bytes of I/O data).
- Backplane Current Load: Specific to the PLC backplane type (e.g., 800 mA @ 5.1 VDC for ControlLogix, 450-800 mA @ 5VDC for CompactLogix).
- Operating Temperature: Typically 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) for in-chassis modules; wider ranges like -25°C to +70°C for some standalone gateways.
- Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F).
- Humidity: 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
- Shock & Vibration: Designed for industrial environments (e.g., 30g operational shock, 5g vibration).
- Configuration Method: Typically via a dedicated configuration utility software (e.g., ProSoft Configuration Builder - PCB) and integration with the PLC programming software (e.g., Rockwell's Studio 5000/RSLogix 5000) using Add-On Instructions (AOIs) or sample ladder logic.
Product Advantages
- Seamless Integration: Designed specifically for in-chassis installation, providing tight integration with the host PLC's backplane and programming environment.
- Protocol Diversity: Offers solutions for a vast array of industrial protocols, enabling communication between equipment from different vendors that would otherwise be incompatible.
- Reduced PLC Load: Offloads complex communication and data processing tasks, freeing up the main PLC processor for critical control functions and improving overall system performance.
- Cost-Effective Modernization: Facilitates phased modernization of legacy systems by allowing older equipment to communicate with newer technologies without a complete rip-and-replace.
- Simplified System Architecture: Eliminates the need for external protocol converters or custom PC-based solutions, simplifying wiring, programming, and maintenance.
- Reliability and Support: Built for robust industrial environments and backed by ProSoft's global technical support.
- Data Agility: Allows critical data to be shared across the enterprise, supporting initiatives like predictive maintenance, energy management, and IIoT applications.
Precautions
- Compatibility: Always verify that the specific PROSOFT module is compatible with your exact PLC/PAC model, firmware version, and the intended communication partners.
- Power Requirements: Ensure the PLC power supply and backplane can provide sufficient current for the module, especially when integrating multiple modules.
- Environmental Ratings: Confirm that the module's operating environment (temperature, humidity, hazardous area classification) matches the installation site.
- Wiring and Grounding: Follow all wiring diagrams and best practices for industrial environments, including proper shielding and grounding, to prevent electrical noise and ensure reliable communication.
- Software Configuration: Correct configuration using ProSoft's software tools is critical. Misconfiguration can lead to communication errors, data integrity issues, or system malfunctions.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly check for and apply recommended firmware updates to ensure optimal performance, security, and compatibility.
- ESD Protection: Handle modules with care, observing proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during installation and removal.
- Hazardous Locations: If installed in a hazardous location, ensure the module carries the appropriate certifications (e.g., Class I, Div 2) and follow all specific installation warnings for those environments.
