application development module mvi46-admthe mvi46 application development module is an slc backplane compatible module that allows user-developed "c" applications to operate on the slc 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 slc platform. featurespowerful platform for developing and running "c" applications on rockwell automation"s slc processors. the mvi46-adm module is a single slot, backplane compatible solution for the rockwell automation slc platform. this module is a powerful and programmable solution supporting two fully isolated serial ports allowing the many serial field devices to be integrated into the slc platform. the mvi46-adm module has three serial ports, two of which are isolated for field interfaces: - cfg: debug/configuration rs-232
- prt1: application rs-232, rs-422 or rs-485
- prt2: application rs-232, rs-422 or rs-485
prt1 and prt2 are jumper configured for direct or multidr-op field communication. the application program can be written to control the two application ports independently, allowing maximum flexibility in the design. general specifications- single slot – 1746 backplane compatible (local or extended i/o rack only. remote rack not supported)
- the module is recognized as an input/output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor and module using m0/m1 files
- ladder logic is used for data transfer between module and processor
- configuration data obtained through user-defined ladder. sample ladder file included
applicationsthe mvi46-adm module is the ideal solution for many applications where serial connectivity must be added to a slc platform. applications using the mvi46-adm module: - bar code scanner interface
- legacy ascii protocol connections
- terminal port emulation
- printer driver (alarm/status printer)
- customized protocol implementations
