The MVI56-MCM communication module by Allen Bradley provides essential connectivity for ControlLogix systems, specifically designed for the 1756 backplane. It efficiently draws power with an 800 mA load at 5 V DC and minimal consumption of 3 mA at 24 V DC. This module allows for a flexible serial baud rate ranging from 110 bits per second to 115,200 bits per second and can be configured to handle data formats consisting of 7 to 8 data bits along with 1 to 2 stop bits with optional parity settings (none, odd, or even).
When it comes to environmental tolerance, the MVI56-MCM showcases impressive capabilities, functioning effectively from -40 °C to 85 °C, thus suitable for a variety of operating conditions. It can also withstand humidity levels of 5% to 95%, provided that it remains non-condensing. For safety and reliability, the module incorporates optical isolation from the backplane, rated at a typical 500 V. Status indicators provide real-time feedback on module status, backplane transfer, application, and serial communication activity.
In terms of operational resilience, the MVI56-MCM is built to endure vibrations of up to 5 g across the frequency range of 10 to 150 Hz. Operational shocks do not exceed 30g, and the non-operational rating is capable of handling shocks up to 50g. This ensures that the module maintains performance even in challenging industrial environments.
