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.
This module supports ladder logic for setting up the data transfer between the processor and the module. Configuration data can

be established from configuration text file that is downloaded to the MV146-MCM Modbus Master/Slave interface module.
