MVI71-MCM

The MVI71-MCM from Allen Bradley is a key component in the PLC 5 series, functioning as a master/slave communication module. This device enables Modbus protocol support, which allows for versatile data communication across devices. Designed to fit into a single-slot configuration, it is compatible with the 1771 chassis, simplifying integration processes in existing setups.

To ensure efficient power management, the module requires a backplane current load of 800 mA at 5 V. User convenience is bolstered with LED indicators that provide clear status updates at a glance. The unit showcases robust performance across various environments, with a minimum operating temperature of 0°C and a maximum operating temperature of 60°C.

For harsh conditions, the MVI71-MCM provides substantial shock resistance capabilities, rated for 30 g while in operation and 50 g when not. It is also built to withstand vibrations up to 5 g within a frequency range of 10 to 150 Hz. Storage specifications are equally robust, with the module capable of handling temperatures between -40°C and 85°C.

Connectivity is facilitated through an RJ45 port that also accommodates RS-232 communication using a DB-9M cable, which is supplied with the module. Additionally, there is an RJ45 connector designated for configuration purposes, ensuring streamlined setup and maintenance. The MVI71-MCM features a good combination of durability and adaptability for effective communication management in diverse control environments.
