MVI46-MCM Modbus Master/Slave Network Interface Module

The Allen-Bradley MV146-MCM is an inRAx module from ProSoft Technology, an Allen-Bradley

encompass partner company. This module is specifically a Modbus Master/Slave Network Interface

Module, used with SLC 5/02 M0/M1 capable processors or later models.

The MV146-MCM is a single slot module that directly installs to a 1746 backplane. This module

receives a valid configuration when installed to the local rack or extension rack. It does not support

installation to a remote I/O rack. It comes with One (1) RJ45 debug and configuration port and supplied

with a DB-9M cable and operates using RS-232 standard only. It also has Two (2) RJ45 RS-232/422/485

Application combo ports. Additionally, the MV146-MCM is equipped with

Module status, Backplane transfer status, Application status, Serial activity and error status LED.

The MV146-MCM enables any compatible SLC 500 processor to easily interface with MODBUS enabled

devices and hosts instruments. It serves as an I/O module between the MODBUS network and the SLC

500 backplane. It performs asynchronous data transfer and provides a 5000-Word register size when

performing data exchanges between the module and the processor over the MODBUS network. This

communication adapter specifically supports Foreign device data concentrator, Pipelines and offshore

platforms, Food processing, Mining, Pulp and paper as well as SCADA communication applications.
