The MVI46-PDPMV1 by ProSoft Technology delivers reliable and efficient PROFIBUS DPV1 communication for Rockwell Automation SLC processors. Designed for industrial environments that demand fast, deterministic control, this module bridges the SLC system and the PROFIBUS network, providing real-time communication with DPV0 and DPV1 slave devices.
Robust Communication and System Integration
The MVI46-PDPMV1 fully complies with IEC 61158 PROFIBUS DPV1 Master specifications. It transfers acyclic parameter data using Class 1 and Class 2 DPV1 services, allowing seamless interaction with PROFIBUS-enabled devices such as drives, transmitters, and I/O systems. The module manages asynchronous data exchange between the SLC processor memory (M0/M1 files) and the PROFIBUS network, optimizing communication performance in distributed control systems.
Industrial Applications
Engineers deploy the MVI46-PDPMV1 across multiple industries, including power generation, petrochemical plants, water treatment, gas distribution, and SCADA/DCS systems. Its modular design, high-speed processing, and proven reliability make it suitable for complex automation architectures where stable fieldbus communication is critical.
Functional and Diagnostic Features
The MVI46-PDPMV1 occupies a single slot in the 1746 SLC chassis and supports local or extended I/O racks. It provides detailed LED diagnostics for module status, backplane communication, serial activity, and application health. With ladder logic integration and sample code provided, users can quickly configure data exchange and monitor system behavior directly in RSLogix.
