ProSoft Technology MVI56-MDA4 is a multi-drop communications module designed for use with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLCs. It enables communication with Modbus serial devices (Modbus RTU/ASCII masters or slaves) over RS-485 networks in multi-drop configurations.


Product Specifications


Key Features:

  • Modbus Protocol Support: Acts as a Modbus RTU/ASCII master or slave.

  • RS-485 Interface: Supports multi-drop networks (up to 32 devices per port).

  • ControlLogix Compatibility: Installs in a 1756 backplane and communicates with the processor via ProSoft configuration blocks.

  • High-Speed Data Transfer: Efficiently exchanges data between the ControlLogix CPU and Modbus devices.

  • Flexible Configuration: Configurable via ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software.

  • Isolation: Provides electrical isolation for noise immunity in industrial environments.

Applications:

  • Connecting ControlLogix PLCs to Modbus RTU/ASCII devices (e.g., sensors, drives, meters).

  • Integrating legacy Modbus equipment into modern Allen-Bradley control systems.

  • Multi-drop networks where multiple Modbus devices share a single RS-485 bus.

Installation & Configuration:

  1. Hardware Setup:

    • Install the MVI56-MDA4 in a 1756 chassis.

    • Connect RS-485 wiring (A/B lines with proper termination).

  2. Software Configuration:

    • Use ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) to set up Modbus parameters (baud rate, parity, station addresses).

    • Define tag-based mapping for data exchange between ControlLogix and Modbus devices.

  3. PLC Logic:

    • Use MSG instructions or ProSoft function blocks to read/write Modbus data.
