Description

Prosoft ASCII Network Interface Module MVI46-GSC

• Extended Product Type : ASCII

• Product ID: MVI46-GSC

• Prosoft Type Designation : ASCII

Features and Benefits

The MVI46-GSC module is a single slot, backplane compatible solution for the Rockwell Automation SLC platform. This module has two powerful and fully configurable ASCII communication ports, each supporting the sending and receiving of large ASCII character strings. With the implementation of some supporting ladder logic in the processor, the many different devices supporting ASCII communications can be integrated into the SLC platform.

Applications

The MVI46-GSC module is the ideal solution for the many applications where ASCII character communications must be added to the SLC platform. Applications using the MVI46-GSC module can be found in many industrial sectors generally involving the following applications:

• Bar code scanner interfaces
• Weigh scale interfaces
• Legacy ASCII protocol connections
• Terminal port emulation
• Printer driver (alarm/status printer)

Specification

• Single Slot – 1746 backplane compatible (Local or extended I/O rack only. Remote rack not supported)
