The MVI56E-LDM from ProSoft Technology is a high-performance Linux Development Module designed for ControlLogix® systems. It empowers engineers to build and deploy custom applications directly within the control architecture, offering unmatched flexibility for industrial automation and IIoT integration.
Advanced Customization and Integration
The MVI56E-LDM supports custom driver development for both Ethernet and Serial end devices. Its open Linux environment and integrated API enable seamless communication between the module and the processor over the ControlLogix backplane.
With preloaded sample applications for Sparkplug B MQTT, standard MQTT, and ThingWorx, users can quickly develop IIoT-ready solutions without starting from scratch.
Performance and Development Environment
This module runs on a 400 MHz ARM9 G20 processor with 64 MB SDRAM and 256 MB NAND Flash, ensuring smooth operation for complex control logic. It supports up to 16 GB CompactFlash for additional storage, making it ideal for data logging and analytics.
The provided Linux Virtual Machine (VM) includes a complete development environment with the Eclipse IDE, preinstalled libraries, and toolchains—allowing developers to code, test, and deploy with ease.
Connectivity and Communication
The MVI56E-LDM features two independent Ethernet ports and two isolated serial ports (RS232/422/485), allowing flexible integration with diverse devices. The module also includes a scrolling LED display for real-time alarms, status updates, and custom messages.
