MVI56-ADM Allen Bradley

Description

Product Name:  MVI56-ADM  Allen Braley Processor module

Product details:  

The Allen-Bradley MVI56-ADM (C Programmable Application Development Module) is a powerful, backplane-compatible module designed for the ControlLogix platform. It allows developers to create custom solutions using the C/C++ programming languages.

1. Product Overview

The MVI56-ADM is part of the ProSoft Technology “inRAx” line, specifically built to plug into a ControlLogix rack. It functions as a powerful “mini-computer” on the rack, enabling the execution of complex algorithms, data processing, or proprietary communication protocols that are difficult to implement using standard ladder logic.

2. Technical Specifications

3. Product Advantages

• Customization: Ideal for developing proprietary communication protocols or complex mathematical calculations that exceed PLC capabilities.

• Seamless Integration: It sits directly on the ControlLogix backplane, appearing to the PLC as a standard I/O module, which ensures high-speed data transfer.

• Standalone Processing: Offloads heavy data-processing tasks from the Main CPU, preserving the PLC’s scan time for critical control logic.

• Rugged Design: Industrial-grade hardware designed to withstand harsh environments better than a standard PC or laptop.

4. Key Considerations & Precautions

• Programming Skill Required: Unlike standard Allen-Bradley modules, this requires proficiency in C/C++. It is not configured via Studio 5000 alone.

• Power Consumption: Ensure your ControlLogix power supply can handle the 800 mA draw, especially in racks with multiple communication modules.

• Flash Memory Limits: While it has a Compact Flash slot, frequent write cycles to certain types of flash memory can lead to degradation; ensure your code manages file I/O efficiently.

• Legacy Status: Depending on your current system lifecycle, verify if the “ADM” version is the latest or if an “ADMNET” (Ethernet-enabled) version is better suited for your needs.

5. Product Applications

• Proprietary Protocols: Connecting to legacy or niche third-party devices (e.g., bar code scanners, scales, or lab equipment) that use non-standard serial strings.

• Complex Math: Performing advanced fluid dynamics, encryption, or statistical analysis that would be too slow or cumbersome in Ladder Logic.

• Data Logging: Local buffering of large amounts of data before transmitting it to a higher-level database or SCADA system.

• Edge Computing: Pre-processing raw sensor data at the “edge” (the PLC rack) before sending refined information to the HMI.
