The Prosoft MVI46-GSC is a Generic Serial ASCII Network Interface Module designed for the Rockwell Automation SLC platform. Here are the detailed contents in English:
The MVI46-GSC is a single - slot, backplane - compatible solution that adds two fully configurable ASCII communication ports to the SLC platform without using the front port of the processor. It enables the SLC processor to interface with various generic ASCII devices.
- Dual - Port Configuration: It has two powerful and fully configurable ASCII communication ports, each capable of sending and receiving large ASCII character strings. This allows for flexible integration of different ASCII - based devices into the SLC platform.
- Easy Integration: With some supporting ladder logic in the processor, it can integrate many different devices that support ASCII communications into the SLC system. Sample ladder files are provided for reference.
- Backplane Compatibility: It is compatible with the 1746 backplane of Rockwell Automation SLC, and is recognized as an Input/Output module. It can access processor memory for data transfer between the processor and the module using M0/M1 files.
The MVI46-GSC is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including:
- Bar code scanner interfaces
- Weigh scale interfaces
- Legacy ASCII protocol connections
- Terminal port emulation
- Printer driver (for alarm/status printers)
- Physical Dimensions: Approximately 2.4 x 3.7 x 1.2 inches.
- Power Requirements: Backplane current load is 800 mA at 5.1 VDC.
- Communication Parameters: The data transfer rate can reach up to 9600 bps (some sources also mention support for higher rates like 115.2 kbps), and the connection type is RS - 485 (it may also support RS - 232 and RS - 422 in some configurations).
- Memory Capacity: 256 bytes (for some internal configurations).
- Environmental Specifications:
- Operating temperature range: 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C) or - 40°F to 185°F (- 40°C to 85°C) in some sources.
- Storage temperature range: - 40°F to 185°F (- 40°C to 85°C) or - 50°F to 200°F (- 45°C to 93°C) in some sources.
- Relative humidity: 5% to 95% (non - condensing).
- Shock resistance: 30 g operational, 50 g non - operational.
- Certifications: It has certifications such as CE, UL/cUL, GOST - R, and Korean KC Registration, ensuring compliance with relevant international safety and quality standards.
