Description
Belden ProSoft MVI46-MCM
The Belden ProSoft MVI46-MCM is an adaptable Modbus communication module engineered for integration with Rockwell Automation's SLC platform effortlessly. It enables reliable communication between Modbus networks and the SLC processor, serving as a bridge to ensure efficient data transfer.
Technical Features:
The Belden ProSoft MVI46-MCM Modbus communication module has a backplane current load of 800 mA at 5V, drawn directly from the backplane. This design ensures the module is sufficiently powered without needing external power supplies, simplifying installation and minimizing wiring complexity.
The module features multiple LED indicators that display status information, including module status, backplane transfer, application status, serial activity, and errors. This visual feedback aids in quick diagnostics, monitoring, and troubleshooting, ensuring smooth operation.
The MVI46-MCM includes a Configuration (CFG) port for setup and debugging, featuring an RJ45 connector that converts to a DB-9M via the supplied cable, supporting standard RS-232 interfaces. This port is essential for initial setup, configuration changes, and diagnostics, allowing efficient management of the module's settings and performance monitoring.
The MVI46-MCM's robust design and comprehensive status indicators make it ideal for industrial environments requiring continuous communication and swift fault resolution. Its RS-232 compatible CFG port simplifies configuration, ensuring that even complex communication setups are easily managed.
The Belden ProSoft MVI46-MCM Modbus communication module boasts a versatile configuration connector that streamlines user interaction and boosts module flexibility. This RJ45 RS-232 port easily adapts to a DB-9M interface with the supplied cable, making it simple and convenient for users to connect and configure the module.
Operating Conditions:
The MVI46-MCM Modbus communication module is designed for reliable performance in various industrial environments. It functions effectively, maintaining an optimal temperature range starting from 0 to 60°C (32 to 140°F).
The MVI46-MCM is designed to endure extreme temperatures from -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F), ensuring it stays in optimal condition during transport and storage.
Furthermore, the MVI46-MCM thrives in environments with a humidity range starting from 5 to 95% (non-condensing). This extensive humidity tolerance guarantees reliable performance under arid and humid conditions, safeguarding against potential issues such as corrosion or moisture-related short circuits.
Communication Specifications:
The Belden ProSoft MVI46-MCM module supports extensive Modbus communication in master and slave configurations. As a Modbus slave, it accepts various function code commands (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16, 17, 22, and 23) from a Modbus master, allowing access to data from other slave devices, a master port, or the SLC processor.
In master mode, the MVI46-MCM can issue up to 100 Modbus commands per port with an optimized polling system that reduces polling for problematic nodes. The SLC processor can dynamically control port activity, enhancing flexibility and efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the vibration tolerance specifications for the MVI46-MCM module?
The Belden ProSoft MVI46-MCM can withstand vibrations up to 5g across a frequency range of 10 to 150 Hz. This high vibration tolerance ensures reliability in environments with mechanical vibrations, such as heavy industrial applications and machinery.
What ports are available on the MVI46-MCM module for application purposes?
The MVI46-MCM has two RJ45 RS-232/422/485 serial ports (PRT1 and PRT2) that support various serial communication protocols. This dual-port setup allows flexible connections to Modbus devices and enhances versatility in complex system architectures.
What is the power consumption of the MVI46-MCM module in Modbus Master/Slave interface mode?
In Modbus Master/Slave interface mode, the Belden ProSoft MVI46-MCM consumes 800 mA at 5.1 VDC. This power requirement ensures stable operation within the SLC backplane's specified power supply limits.
