MVI46-MCM ProSoft Technology Modbus Master/Slave Module

The MVI46 Modbus Master/Slave Network Interface Module allows Rockwell Automation SLC processors to interface with Modbus-compatible devices. Compatible devices include not only Modicon PLCs but also a wide assortment of third-party devices found in nearly every industry.

Features and Benefits
-The inRAx Modbus Master/Slave Communications module is designed to allow SLC processors to interface easily with Modbus protocol-compatible devices and hosts. -The MVI46-MCM module acts as an input/output module between the Modbus network and the Rockwell Automation backplane. The data transfer from the SLC processor is asynchronous from the actions on the Modbus network. A 5000-word register space in the module exchanges data between the processor and the Modbus network.
-Many host SCADA packages support the Modbus protocol, while devices commonly supporting the protocol include several PLCs, as well as many other third party devices in the marketplace.
