M
Master Command ControlThe module can issue configured read and write commands to other Modbus Plus devices. Command status and communication results are available for application monitoring. |
S
Slave Memory AccessOther Modbus Plus processors can read from and write to the module database while the SLC program exchanges the required values through the backplane. |
| Device data concentration Gather data from compatible Modbus Plus devices into an SLC-based control application. |
Pipelines & offshore Connect networked process equipment and supervisory control data. |
Process industries Official examples include food processing, mining, and pulp and paper systems. |
Engineering note: The MVI46-MBP is not hot-swappable. Remove power from the rack before inserting or removing the module.
| What is the PROSOFT MVI46-MBP used for? It connects SLC I/O-compatible processors to Modbus Plus-compatible devices for Master or Slave communication. |
| Can the MVI46-MBP operate as both Master and Slave? Yes. The official documentation specifies both operating roles. |
| How much data can the MVI46-MBP exchange? Its internal register space provides 4000 words for exchange between the SLC processor and Modbus Plus network. |
| What software is used to configure the MVI46-MBP? The documented setup uses RSLogix 500 and RSLinx, with ProSoft Configuration Builder and terminal access for module configuration and diagnostics. |
| Can the MVI46-MBP be inserted while the rack is powered? No. The official manual states that power must be removed before installing or removing the module. |
