MVI71-GSC

The Allen Bradley MVI71-GSC is a versatile serial communication module engineered to integrate smoothly with the PLC 5 series. It features a compact, single-slot design that is compatible with the 1771 chassis, streamlining setup and minimizing space consumption. This module requires a backplane current load of 800 mA at 5 V for operation.

The supported baud rate spans from 110 to 115.2 kBaud, providing flexibility for various communication protocols. Users can configure it for 1 or 2 stop bits and select between 5 to 8 data bits, accommodating diverse application needs. The RTS (Request to Send) timing can be adjusted from 0 to 65,535 ms allowing for practical communication flow control.

Also, it includes LED indicators for real-time status updates, enhancing user monitoring capabilities. The module is equipped to endure vibration up to 5 g across a frequency range of 10 to 150 Hz, emphasizing its durability in challenging environments.

For connectivity, an RJ45 RS-232 connector is provided as the configuration port. Additionally, a DB-9M port with the supplied cable is included for RS-232 communication, ensuring ease of integration into existing systems. With a minimum response delay adjustable from 0 to 65,535 ms, the MVI71-GSC offers precise control over communication timing. Overall, this module is an essential component for enhancing serial communications within Allen Bradley's PLC 5 architecture.
