Product Specifications
The MVI69E-MBS allows Rockwell Automation
®
CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-
LRP
®
I/O compatible processors to interface easily with other Modbus protocol
compatible devices.
The module acts as an input/output communications module between the Modbus
network and the CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP backplane. The data transfer
from the CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP processor is asynchronous from the
actions on the Modbus network. Databases are user-defined and stored in the module to
hold the data required by the protocol.
Single-slot, 1769 backplane-compatible
The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor
memory for data transfer between processor and module.
Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor. Sample Add-
On Instruction file included.
Configuration data obtained from and stored in the processor.
Supports CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP processors with 1769 I/O bus
capability and at least 500 mA of 5 VDC backplane current available.
