How many serial ports does PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT provide?

It provides two independently configurable serial ports.

Which serial interfaces can PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT use?

Each port can be jumper-selected for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 operation.

How does PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT exchange data with the controller?

It transfers data asynchronously through the ControlLogix backplane input and output images.

What database capacity is available in PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT?

The module provides a 10,000-word user-controlled database.

What distinguishes PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT from MVI56E-MCM?

The MCMXT version is designed for the Logix-XT environment and includes conformal coating for harsher conditions.

What is required to use up to 325 commands in PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT?

Use module firmware 3.01 or later together with Add-On Instruction version 2.8 or later; earlier versions support up to 100 commands.

What should be verified during PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT commissioning?

Verify both port modes and serial settings, database addresses, controller tags, backplane transfer, Ethernet diagnostics, and live Modbus reads and writes.

Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions

Within a ControlLogix chassis, PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT provides the exchange path between controller tags and two serial networks. Commissioning centers on aligning each port’s electrical mode, serial framing, database mapping, and backplane data blocks.

Two independently configurable Modbus serial ports
RTU and ASCII master/slave operation
10,000-word user-controlled database
Conformal-coated MCMXT extreme-environment hardware

Set the two physical-interface jumpers before field wiring, then align port mode, baud rate, framing, command table, database addresses, and controller tags. Use live reads and writes to prove the complete path.

Important Notice: Confirm the MCMXT identity, ControlLogix slot, 5 V and 24 V rack-power budget, serial termination, firmware, and Add-On Instruction revision before service.

PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT Manuals & Downloads

PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT Official Technical Reference Excerpt (PDF)PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT Installation & Commissioning Guide (PDF)

The Technical Reference covers serial-port capabilities, protocol operation, backplane exchange, and environmental limits; the Installation & Commissioning Guide organizes jumper selection, configuration, network checks, and acceptance testing.

Legacy Modbus integration

Connects RTU or ASCII serial devices to a ControlLogix controller without a separate gateway.

Dual-network polling

Allows each serial port to operate on the same or different Modbus networks.

Master/slave bridging

Configures either port as a Modbus master or slave according to the control architecture.

Harsh cabinet service

Uses conformal-coated MCMXT construction for extreme-environment cabinet service.

Apply these controls to PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT before isolation, removal, reconnection, energization, and release.

Match the complete PROSOFT MVI56E-MCMXT model, not the standard MVI56E-MCM, before installation.

Record the ControlLogix slot, module configuration, IP settings, serial-port modes, and database mapping before replacement.

Select RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 jumpers for each serial port before connecting field wiring.

Confirm serial baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, and RTU or ASCII mode for every attached network.

Keep the 5 V and 24 V backplane current requirements within the rack power budget.

Verify the installed firmware and Add-On Instruction versions before configuring more than 100 commands.

Use shield, grounding, termination, and network-topology practices appropriate to the selected serial standard.

Commission both serial channels, backplane data transfer, diagnostics, and controller tag mapping before release.

Technical notes

Two independently configurable Modbus RTU/ASCII serial ports; RS-232/422/485; 10,000-word database; ControlLogix backplane interface.
