The MVI69 S3964R module from ProSoft Technology allows point-to-point
communication between a CompactLogix processor and a partner with 3964R
(with or without RK512) communication capability.
The 3964R protocol was designed by Siemens for bi-directional data
communication through a point-to-point connection. It is a peer to peer protocol
with read and write access. A BCC checksum ensures the integrity of the
transfer.
