System compatibility
MVI71-GEC belongs to ProSoft MVI71 series module.
It plugs directly into Rockwell PLC-5 1771 rack,compatible with 1771 backplane,uses BTR/BTW block for backplane data transmission.
It enables PLC-5 processor to communicate with Ethernet ASCII instruments,serial device servers and custom TCP network equipment.
Suitable for legacy PLC-5 equipment renovation and spare replacement for non-standard TCP ASCII communication.
Function
It supports generic ASCII data transmission over TCP/IP,simultaneous TCP client and server connections.
Configurable port number,connection timeout and close mode.
Single ethernet packet max 2048 bytes,total buffer up to 4096 bytes.
Supports custom string parsing,delimiter-based data framing.
Internal register database,data exchanged with PLC-5 via BTR/BTW ladder instructions.
Supports custom command list configuration for periodic ASCII data read and write.
Installation
Insert module into 1771 chassis backplane,connect ethernet cable to RJ45 port.
Set IP address and TCP client/server configuration in ProSoft Configuration Builder.
Program BTR/BTW ladder logic in RSLogix5,download project through RSLinx,check LED indicators after power-up.
Interface
110/100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 port,1DB9M RS232 CFG configuration port,1771 backplane connector,module status,backplane activity,network activity LED indicators.
Feature
Single slot 1771 chassis design,1500V isolation between backplane and ethernet port.
Auto crossover ethernet detection,web diagnostic page for connection status and data statistics.
Flexible framing setting for different ASCII devices.
Co-processor architecture reduces PLC scan load,stable operation in industrial cabinet environment.
Diagnostic
Check module run and fault LED;communication failure:verify ethernet cable,IP address and port configuration;data abnormal:check ASCII delimiter and buffer parameter.
Product Brief
MVI71-GEC is ProSoft MVI71 series generic ASCII ethernet communication module for Rockwell PLC-5 1771 rack.
It acts as TCP/IP ASCII gateway to realize bidirectional string data exchange between PLC-5 and ethernet ASCII field devices,for industrial automation system maintenance and transformation.
