5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI56 PROFIBUS DP Slave Communication Module allows ControlLogix
I/O compatible processors to interface easily with a PROFIBUS DP Master
device.
5.1.1 Features and Benefits
The PROFIBUS DP Slave protocol driver supports the PROFIBUS V0 Slave
implementation, providing powerful data transfer capability between the module
and a ControlLogix processor. User configurable data mapping and DP port
operation make the interface an easy to use and powerful data transfer tool.
The MVI56 module Configuration/Debug Serial port connects a PC to the module
for configuration, status, monitoring, and troubleshooting (serial cable is included
with product shipment). After editing on a PC, a configuration file is downloaded
and stored on the MVI56 module.
The PROFIBUS DP Slave gives access to the unit's input and output images with
up to 122 words of Input and Output data. Total input and output may not exceed
200 words. These Input and Output data blocks are mapped by the user within
the module's data memory allowing maximum flexibility and data transfer with
other protocols.
5.1.2 General Specifications
ƒ Single Slot - 1756 backplane compatible
ƒ The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to
processor memory for data transfer between processor and module
ƒ Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor.
Sample ladder file included.
