Limitorque Valve Communications Interface Module
MVI56-LTQ
The MVI56 Limitorque Valve Actuator Master Communication Module allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix I/O compatible processors to interface easily with Limitorque Valve Actuators and other Limitorque protocol compatible devices.
Features and Benefits
The MVI56-LTQ module acts as an input/output module between the Limitorque valve network and the Rockwell Automation backplane. The data transfer from the ControlLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the network. The 1500-word register space in the module transfers the valve information from the module to the processor. Ladder logic is responsible for control of the valves. Data transferred from the processor to the module instructs the module to execute commands to valves on the Limitorque network.
General Specifications
- Single Slot - 1756 backplane compatible
- Local or remote rack
- The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor and module
- Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor.
- Configuration data obtained through user-defined ladder. Sample ladder file included
Applications
Industries and services that benefit from this integration include Aerospace, Chemical, Food/Beverage, Industrial Gases, Oil & Gas production, exploration, processing and refining, Mining, Pharmaceutical, Power, Pulp & Paper, Water/Wastewater.
