Specifications
The MVI94-GSC-E module interfaces a serial communication device with the
Rockwell Automation Flex processor. One application port is present on the
module to interface with devices such as bar code readers, scales, printers and
terminals. The communication port permits both the reception and transmission
of data between the Rockwell Automation processor and attached devices. The
module is designed primarily to receive data (up to 4096 characters in
consecutive blocks), but can also transmit up to 10 characters on a block
transfer.
