'C' Programmable Communication Module for FLEX I/O
MVI94-ADM
The MVI94 Application Development Module is a FLEX backplane compatible module that allows user-developed "C" applications to operate on the FLEX platform. A great way to speed up custom ASCII data communications or to protect a proprietary algorithm, the ADM is a powerful tool for the FLEX platform.
Features and Benefits
Powerful platform for developing and running 'C' applications on Rockwell Automation's FLEX I/O processors. The MVI94-ADM module is a single slot, backplane compatible solution for the Rockwell Automation FLEX I/O and Integra I/O platforms. This module is a powerful and programmable solution supporting two fully isolated serial ports allowing serial field devices to be integrated into the FLEX platforms.
The MVI94-ADM module has two serial ports, both of which are isolated for field interfaces:
- PRT1 Application/Debug/Config RS-232
- PRT2 Application RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485
PRT2 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.
General Specifications
Some of the general specifications include:
- Operation via simple ladder logic
- Complete setup and monitoring of module through Debug port and user configuration file
- Flex backplane interface via I/O access
Applications
The MVI94-ADM module is the ideal solution for many applications where serial connectivity must be added to a FLEX platform. Applications using the MVI94-ADM module include:
- Bar code scanner interface
- Legacy ASCII protocol connections
- Terminal port emulation
- Printer driver (Alarm/status printer)
- Customized protocol implementations
