PROSOFT MVI56-BAS Product Introduction

PROSOFT MVI56-BAS is a BASIC communication module manufactured by Prosoft Technology.Here is a detailed introduction to it.

Basic Overview

Type:Single-slot module

Purpose:Used to convert traditional BASIC programs used on 1747-BAS and 1771-DB modules to ControlLogix systems.

User Interface and Ports

Port Composition:The user interface of MVI56-BAS consists of three ports,namely DH-485,PRT1 and PRT2.

Port Function:These ports are used for communication,BASIC program transfer,ASCII communication,programming or DF1 communication.

Storage and Memory

Flash Disk Slot:MVI56-BAS is equipped with a Compact Flash Disk slot,which can use CF cards to store BASIC programs.

Memory:The device has 24065 bytes of available RAM.

Functions and Applications

Main functions:This communication module can create BASIC programs,allow data transfer with ControlLogix processors,and create external device interfaces for special applications.

Device connection:The MVI56-BAS module can also be used to connect devices that use ASCII encoding to the ControlLogix backplane,such as printers,barcode readers,or modems.

Configuration options:The MVI56-BAS can be configured as a DF1 half-duplex slave or a DF1 full-duplex module.

Data transfer and programming

Data transfer:In order to transfer data between this module and the processor,the programmer must use ladder logic.Sample ladder files are provided with the device.

Programming support:Data transfer and interface creation with the ControlLogix system can be achieved through programming.
