'C' Programmable Application Development Module with Ethernet for CompactLogix
MVI69-ADMNET
The MVI69 'C' Programmable Application Development Module with Ethernet is a CompactLogix backplane compatible module that allows Rockwell Automation CompactLogix processors to interface with other Ethernet protocol compatible devices and hosts utilizing custom 'C'; code.
Features and Benefits
The ADMNET solution is a powerful module designed with both Client and Server support. This broad support enables the module to function as a data collection sub-master, or to be a powerful slave as a remote off an HMI host. Applications for the module are found in most industries, especially Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Electrical Power and Food processing.
The MVI69-ADMNET module is a single slot, backplane compatible solution for the Rockwell Automation CompactLogix platform. This module is a powerful and programmable solution supporting one fully isolated serial port, one non-isolated serial port, and one Ethernet port, allowing the many field devices to be integrated into the CompactLogix platform.
The MVI69-ADM module has two serial and one Ethernet port, one serial port is isolated for field interfaces.
- CFG -- debug/configuration -- RS-232
- PRT1 -- application -- RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485
- Ethernet port
Applications
The MVI69-ADMNET module is the ideal solution for many applications where Ethernet and serial connectivity must be added to a CompactLogix platform. Applications using the MVI69-ADMNET module include:
- Bar Code Scanner interface
- Legacy ASCII protocol connections
- Terminal Port Emulation
- Printer Driver (Alarm/Status printer)
- Customized protocol implementations
Functional Specifications
The MVI69-ADM API Suite allows software developers access to the top layer of the CompactLogix backplane and serial ports. The MVI69-ADMNET API suite accesses the Ethernet port.
Both APIs can be easily used without having detailed knowledge of the module's hardware design. The MVI69-ADMNET API Suite consists of the Ethernet Port API. The Ethernet Port API provides access to the Ethernet network. Applications for the MVI69-ADMNET module may be developed using industry-standard DOS programming tools and the appropriate API components.
The MVI69-ADMNET module has two serial ports, one of which is isolated for field interfaces, and one Ethernet port.
- CFG -- debug/configuration -- RS-232
- PRT1 -- Application -- RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485
- Ethernet Port
PRT1 is jumper configured for direct or Multidrop field communication. The application program can be written to control the two application ports independently, allowing maximum flexibility in the design.
