MVI56-PDPS Allen Bradley

Description

Product Name:  MVI56-PDPS Allen Braley Processor module

Product details:  

The Allen-Bradley MVI56-PDPS is a ProSoft Technology communication module designed specifically for the ControlLogix platform. It acts as a PROFIBUS DP Slave gateway, allowing a Rockwell Automation ControlLogix PLC to communicate with a PROFIBUS DP Master (such as a Siemens S7 PLC).

1. Product Overview

The MVI56-PDPS is a single-slot module that fits directly into the ControlLogix backplane. It serves as an interface between the ControlLogix CPU and a PROFIBUS network. It is primarily used when a ControlLogix system needs to be integrated into an existing PROFIBUS network where another controller is the “boss” (Master).

2. Technical Specifications

The module relies on high-speed data transfer between the module and the ControlLogix processor via the backplane.

3. Key Advantages

• Seamless Integration: It resides in the ControlLogix rack, appearing to the processor as a standard I/O module.

• High Compatibility: Fully compliant with PROFIBUS DP V0 standards, ensuring it can talk to any certified DP Master.

• Easy Configuration: Uses ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software, which simplifies the mapping of PROFIBUS data to ControlLogix tags.

• Diagnostic Capabilities: Provides detailed status data to the processor, including network health and communication errors, allowing for real-time troubleshooting via the HMI.

4. Product Applications

The MVI56-PDPS is ideal for “Hybrid” factory environments where different automation brands must coexist:

• PLC-to-PLC Communication: Linking a Siemens-based production line (Master) to a Rockwell-based packaging line (Slave).

• SCADA Integration: Connecting a ControlLogix system to a third-party SCADA system that uses PROFIBUS DP.

• Distributed Control: Using a ControlLogix rack as remote I/O for a larger PROFIBUS-controlled plant.

5. Important Considerations & Precautions

• Power Consumption: This module draws significant current (800mA). Ensure your ControlLogix power supply has enough overhead to support it alongside other modules.

• GSD File: You will need the ProSoft GSD file to “introduce” this module to the PROFIBUS Master’s configuration software (e.g., TIA Portal or Step 7).

• Data Mapping: The module uses “Block Transfer” to move data. Users must ensure that the ladder logic or structured text in Studio 5000 correctly handles the input and output image arrays.

• Firmware: Always ensure the module firmware is compatible with your version of RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000.

6. Comparison with MVI56-PDPMV1

It is important not to confuse this with the MVI56-PDPMV1.

• PDPS (Slave): The ControlLogix receives commands from a different Master.

• PDPMV1 (Master): The ControlLogix controls other PROFIBUS devices (like drives or sensors).
