General Specifications Single Slot - 1746 backplane compatible (Local or extended I/O rack only. Remote rack not supported)
The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor and module using M0/M1 files
Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor. Sample ladder file included
Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to module. Sample configuration file included
Product Specifications
The MVI46 Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Communication Module allows Rockwell Automation SLC processors to interface easily with other Modbus compatible devices. Compatible devices include Modicon PAC’s as well as a wide variety of instruments and devices. A 5000-word register space in the module exchanges data between the processor and the Modbus network.The server driver accepts incoming connections on Service Port 502 for clients using Modbus TCP/IP MBAP messages and from clients on Service Port 2000 (or other Service Ports) for clients using Encapsulated Modbus messages
Modbus TCP/IP
ProSoft’s Modbus TCP/IP implementation uses the module’s shared internal memory for data transfer. Sharing the memory with another protocol driver allows the module to transfer data between Modbus TCP/IP devices and other devices on other networks. Configurable floating-point data movement is supported, including support for Enron or Daniel® floating-point applications.
Supports five independent server connections for Service Port 502 (MBAP)
Supports five independent server connections for Service Port 2000 (Encapsulated)
Supports a total Modbus TCP/IP data transfer capacity of up to 4000 registers or up to 64,000 bits in any combination of data types throughout the memory database
Modbus data types overlap in the gateway’s memory database, so the same data can be conveniently read or written as bit-level or register-level data.
