Product Overview

The MVI94-ADM is a FLEX backplane-compatible module built for custom application development in ‘C’ language. It provides a flexible platform for integrating proprietary algorithms and ASCII data communications with Rockwell Automation FLEX I/O processors.

Key Features and Benefits

Custom Development

• Enables user-developed ‘C’ applications to run directly on FLEX I/O platforms.
• Supports proprietary protocols and specialized data handling.

Versatile Serial Ports

• PRT1 (Application/Debug/Config): RS-232.
• PRT2 (Application): RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.
• Jumper configuration supports direct or multi-drop communication.

Flexible Operation

• Independent port operation for versatile integration.
• Debugging and monitoring supported via configuration file and debug port.

Seamless Integration

• Simple ladder logic control for smooth PLC integration.
• Full monitoring with LED status indicators.
