MVI71-GSC

The MVI71-GSC module is an Allen-Bradley generic serial ASCII network interface module that features a fast and easy way for adding up to 2 fully configurable ASCII communication ports to the PLC platform. The MVI71-GSC module is classified under the Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation PLC 5 series of modules. The MVI71-GSC module comes with a single backplane slot and it is recognized as an input/output module with access to the processor memory. The MVI71-GSC module uses the ladder logic for data transfer between the application (processor) and the module. The module allows for PLC processor communication to conveniently interface with generic ASCII devices. This allows the device to have proper data transfer between the processor and the module. The configuration data is obtained through the user-defined ladder logic, and the unit features the sample ladder file.

The MVI71-GSC module features a single-slot 1771 chassis. It comes with the backplane current load of 800 mA at 5 Volts DC. The unit’s ambient operating temperature range is from 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, while the storage temperature range is from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. The MVI71-GSC module features a shock resistance of 30 G in its operational state. In its non-operational state, the module’s shock resistance is 50 G. The module features a relative humidity range of 5 to 95%, non-condensing. For simplified operational monitoring, the MVI71-GSC module features LED indicators. The LED indicators help to keep track of the module status, the backplane transfer status, the application status, and the serial activity or the error LED status. The configuration connector type is the RJ45 or the RS-232 connector.
