5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI69 DF1 Master/Slave Communication Module is a CompactLogix I/O
compatible module that allows CompactLogix I/O compatible processors to
interface easily with DF1 protocol compatible devices and hosts.
Many host SCADA applications support the DF1 protocol, while devices
commonly supporting the protocol include Rockwell Automation PLCs, power
monitoring equipment, as well as several other third-party devices in the
marketplace.
The module has two 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 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.
