The ProLinx Rockwell Automation Remote I/O to ASCII Generic Serial Gateway creates a powerful connection between devices on a Remote I/O network and ASCII input devices. The module provides one Remote I/O port and up to four ASCII configurable serial ports. The RIO interface is an adapter (slave) which can be connected to a scanner (master) that controls the data transfer. The module also supports limited high speed data transfer via the Input and Output images. The ASCII protocol driver permits the module to interface to many ASCII devices. Each ASCII port on the module is configurable to send and/or receive ASCII strings, each supporting its own individual serial network.

The ProLinx Modbus Plus to DH-485 Gateway creates a powerful connection between devices on a Modbus Plus network and DH-485 devices. This stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway provides one Modbus Plus DB9F port and one DH-485 configurable serial port. The Modbus Plus protocol driver supports both Master and Slave implementations of the protocol on the DB9 Female Modbus Plus port. The Modbus Plus port is fully configurable. The ProLinx DH485 protocol driver supports the Master and the Slave modes of the protocol, providing powerful data transfer capability with Rockwell Automation PLCs and HMIs. User configurable data mapping make the interface an easy to use and powerful data transfer tool.

The MVI56-HART Master Multi-drop Network Interface Module allows ControlLogix I/O compatible processors to easily communicate with HART slave devices. The MVI56-HART module interfaces up to 15 devices on each HART channel with the ControlLogix processor. Four channels on the module support master protocol commands to interface with slave devices on their own networks. Each port is individually configurable. Data is exchanged between the HART network and the ControlLogix processor using the internal database contained in the module and direct control by the processor's ladder logic and pre-defined data objects (5000 registers maximum). The MVI56-HART module is the perfect solution for industrial applications in chemical and refining operations, gas and liquid distribution systems, and remote offshore monitoring stations, addressing virtually all aspects of control, data acquisition, and maintenance.

The digital I/O modules provide four inputs and four solid state outputs. The I/O modules offer 2500 V r.m.s. isolation, with a wide operating temperature range and Class I Division 2 hazardous location rating, making them ideal for demanding industrial installations.

The MVI69-GSC Generic ASCII Serial Interface Module is a fast and easy way to add two fully configurable ASCII communication ports to the CompactLogix / MicroLogix platform without consuming the front port of the processor, or using valuable processing time. The MVI69-GSC module is a single-slot, backplane-compatible solution for the CompactLogix / MicroLogix 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 CompactLogix / MicroLogix platform.

The ProSoft Technology inRAx Message Manager is a single-slot solution that connects and transfers Factory and Plant Process Automation monitoring and control data between islands of automation across diverse platforms, networks and protocols. The inRAx Message Manager is an easy-to-use data transfer engine for the ControlLogix 1756 platform, supporting Rockwell Automation Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) network protocols, as well as platforms and devices that use Siemens Industrial Ethernet and Modbus TCP/IP protocols. The ILX56-MM makes it easy for System Integrators and End Users to reduce the engineering effort required to coordinate data transfers between multiple control systems in Factory and Plant Automation applications. The Message Manager simplifies and streamlines data connection and transfer operations by enabling PLC/PAC data exchanges without the need for additional message-specific PLC programming.

The 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot (RLXIB-IHW) is a high-speed wireless Ethernet radio, with PoE and Serial Encapsulation. The RLXIB-IHW operates at speeds up to 54 Mbps, using the IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz band) and 802.11a (5 GHz band) standards. Designed for global installations, the RLXIB-IHW offers many Industrial features including hazardous location certifications, IGMP Snooping, OFDM for noise immunity, repeater mode for mesh architecture/self healing, OPC server diagnostics, extended temperature, high vibration/shock and DIN-rail mounting.

The MVI69-DFCM DF1 Master/Slave Communication Module allows Rockwell Automation CompactLogix / MicroLogix compatible processors to interface easily with DF1 protocol compatible devices and hosts. Devices commonly supporting the protocol include Rockwell Automation PLCs and power monitoring equipment, as well as several other third party devices in the marketplace. The MVI69-DFCM module has two Application Serial ports supporting the DF1 protocol, with each port user-configurable to act as a Master or as a slave. Data transfer between the module and the CompactLogix / MicroLogix processor is asynchronous to the DF1 network, with the module’s internal database being used to exchange data between the processor and the DF1 network.

The MVI69 Application Development Module is a CompactLogix backplane compatible module that allows user-developed 'C' applications to operate on the CompactLogix platform. A great way to speed up custom ASCII data communications or to protect a proprietary algorithm, the ADM is a powerful tool for the CompactLogix platform.

The Generic ASCII Ethernet Network Interface Module (MVI46-GEC) allows SLC processors to connect to any generic ASCII device such as bar code scanners, weigh scale interfaces, legacy ASCII protocol connections, terminal port emulation and printer drivers. The use of the TCP/IP protocol at the device level on the plant floor has become widespread. The MVI46-GEC takes advantage of Ethernet’s speed while also allowing greater distances between networked devices.

The MVI56 Application Development Module is a ControlLogix backplane compatible module that allows user-developed 'C' applications to operate on the ControlLogix platform. A great way to speed up custom ASCII data communications or to protect a proprietary algorithm, the ADM is a powerful tool for the ControlLogix platform.

The DNP 3.0 Master/Slave Network Interface Module allows ControlLogix processors to interface with the many field devices that support the DNP protocol. DNP (Distributed Network Protocol) is an open communication protocol developed to achieve interoperability among systems specifically in the electric utility, oil & gas and water/wastewater industries. This non-proprietary protocol, available worldwide, was designed to optimize the transmission of data acquisition information and control commands. It is a highly efficient and reliable communications protocol between substation computers, RTUs, IEDs and master stations. DNP is also a layered protocol, featuring time stamping and True Report by Exception (TRBE). These features allow the MVI56-DNP module to send a report to the processor without being polled, providing real time data transmission in critical situations.

The MVI69-MNETC Modbus TCP/IP Client Communication Module allows Rockwell Automation® CompactLogix / MicroLogix® processors to interface easily with Modbus TCP/IP server devices. Compatible devices include Modicon PACs, as well as a wide variety of instruments and devices. The module acts as an input/output module between the Modbus network and the Rockwell Automation backplane. The data transfer from the processor is asynchronous from the actions on the Modbus Client-controlled network. A 5000-word register space in the module exchanges data between the processor and the Modbus network.
