ProSoft MVI56E-MCM: Endows ControlLogix with reliable Modbus communication capabilities
In the process of modernizing industrial systems, communication capabilities are becoming the core competitiveness of factory intelligence. Many enterprises are promoting digital transformation, but there are still a large number of traditional Modbus devices on site, including frequency converters, meters, Rtus, intelligent sensors, etc. These devices cover key industries such as energy, chemical engineering, water treatment, steel, and mining. Although they are stable and reliable, there is a language barrier between their Modbus networks and modern PLC systems.
The ProSoft MVI56E-MCM module is precisely designed to address this challenge. It enables the Rockwell ControlLogix system to communicate seamlessly with Modbus RTU/TCP devices, achieving data interconnection without altering the on-site structure or replacing old equipment.
v Why is Modbus still important?
Industrial field communication protocols are constantly emerging, but the existence of Modbus remains stable. The reasons include
The industry has accumulated a huge amount of equipment (the life cycle of traditional equipment is long, averaging 10 to 20 years).
The standards are open and the difficulty of interconnection is low
Low maintenance cost and familiar to automation engineers
It is still widely used in redundant systems
Therefore, in the process of digital upgrading, enterprises do not simply replace equipment in a one-size-fits-all manner, but rather seek ways for new systems to connect with old protocols to obtain data value at a lower cost.
v MVI56E-MCM: The communication bridge of ControlLogix
Compared with traditional communication modules, the value of MVI56E-MCM is not limited to "protocol conversion"; it also undertakes system integration capabilities.
Ø Overview of Module Highlights
Ø Support Modbus RTU Master/Slave
Ø Support Modbus TCP Client/Server
Help ControlLogix achieve concurrent communication among multiple devices
Built-in data buffering enhances the real-time performance of the system
The network diagnostic tool supports rapid fault location
Industrial-grade design, suitable for continuous operation environments
Whether upgrading an old system or expanding new devices, the MVI56E-MCM can be integrated into the ControlLogix platform through a plug-and-play slot method, significantly reducing the difficulty of integration.
v System lifespan extension: Rejuvenating old equipment with new value
Many factories still operate old Modbus equipment in good condition, such as:
Motor protector
Frequency converter
Energy consumption meter
Digital pump controller
Pressure/temperature intelligent instrument
Although the protocols of these devices are traditional, the data value is huge. Through MVI56E-MCM, enterprises can achieve:
Retain the original equipment
Connect the equipment data to SCADA, MES and DCS
Conduct trend analysis, energy consumption management, and predictive maintenance
Achieve digitalization and transparency at a lower cost
