Rockwell Automation Prosoft ControlLogix MVI56-DFCM

When your ControlLogix system requires additional DF1 ports, the MVI56-DFCM Network Interface Module offers the quickest and most straightforward solution, enabling both Half/Full Duplex Master and Slave capabilities for DF1. This module boasts two highly configurable DF1 ports, facilitating the integration of numerous SCADA and field devices that adhere to the DF1 protocol into the ControlLogix platform. Devices typically compatible with this protocol encompass Rockwell Automation PLCs, power monitoring equipment, and various third-party devices. Each port can be configured by the user to function as either a Master or a Slave.

Features and Benefits of MVI56-DFCM

The MVI56-DFCM (DF1 Communication Module) seamlessly interfaces Allen-Bradley ControlLogix I/O compatible processors with other devices that support the DF1 protocol. This compatibility extends not only to Modicon PLCs (which universally support DF1) but also to a diverse range of end devices.

Equipped with two serial ports that support the DF1 protocol, the module allows each port to be configured by the user as either a master or a slave. Data exchange between the module and the ControlLogix processor is asynchronous relative to the DF1 network, utilizing the module's internal database to facilitate data transfer between the processor and the DF1 network.
