The MVI56-BAS is a basic communication module manufactured by Prosoft Technology. It is a single slot module for converting traditional BASIC programs used on the 1747-BAS and 1771-DB modules to ControlLogix systems. Its user interface consists of three ports - DH-485, PRT1 and PRT2. These ports are used for communication, basic program transfer, ASCII communication, programming, or DF1 communication. The MVI56-BAS has a small flash drive slot that can store basic programs with a CF card. These BASIC programs can also be exported to another or local PC. The device has 24,065 bytes of available memory, and the main functions that can be operated through this communication module are the creation of basic programs to allow data transfer with the ControlLogix processor and the creation of external device interfaces for special applications. This module can also be used to connect devices using ASCII encoding to the ControlLogix backplane. The MVI56-BAS can be configured as a DF1 half-duplex slave or a DF1 full-duplex module.
The advantages of the MVI56-BAS module include:
Strong compatibility: The module can communicate with a variety of devices and systems to achieve data acquisition, signal processing, logic control and other functions.
Programmability: The MVI56-BAS module is programmable and can be customized and programmed according to the needs of users.
High performance and reliability: With high performance and reliability, the module is able to handle large amounts of data and complex control tasks.
Easy integration and installation: The MVI56-BAS module has standardized dimensions and interfaces that allow easy integration and installation with other devices and controllers.
