The Prosoft MVI94-GSC-E is a Generic Serial ASCII Network Interface Module designed for the Rockwell Automation FLEX I/O platform. Here are the detailed contents in English:
The MVI94-GSC-E is a single - slot module that is compatible with the 1794 backplane of Rockwell Automation FLEX I/O. It allows FLEX I/O compatible processors to interface easily with various serial communication devices without using the front port of the processor.
- Single - Port Configuration: It has a single fully configurable ASCII communication port, which can send and receive ASCII character strings, enabling flexible integration of ASCII - based devices into the FLEX platform.
- Easy Integration: With the help of ladder logic in the processor, it can integrate many different devices that support ASCII communications into the FLEX system. Sample ladder files are usually provided for reference.
- Flexible Memory Configuration: Memory usage is completely user - configurable, supporting the storage and transfer of up to 4000 registers to/from the control processor, which optimizes resource management and enhances operational flexibility.
- Reliable Data Transmission: Supports both full - duplex and half - duplex modes, and includes robust error - checking mechanisms like CRC and BCC to maintain data integrity.
The MVI94-GSC-E 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 10 cm x 9.5 cm x 7 cm (4 in x 3.74 in x 2.76 in).
- Weight: About 0.22 kg (0.485 lb).
- Power Requirements: Backplane current load is 20 mA at 5 VDC, and it requires an external power supply of 12 - 24 VDC with a current draw of 340 mA to 170 mA.
- Communication Parameters: The communication interface can be configured as RS - 232, RS - 422, or RS - 485. The data transfer rate can reach up to 115,200 bps. It supports full - duplex and half - duplex communication modes.
- Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F).
- Storage Temperature Range: - 40°C to 85°C (- 40°F to 185°F).
- Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% (non - condensing).
- Shock Resistance: 30 g operational, 50 g non - operational.
