MV169-PDPMV1 PROSOFT

Product Dimensions：

A ProSoft communication module is an in-chassis or standalone gateway that provides seamless, high-speed data transfer between a main controller and field devices that use a different communication protocol. Instead of a general-purpose CPU, it contains a dedicated processor, often an ARM processor, optimized for industrial communication tasks. This design allows the module to manage the complexities of protocol conversion, data mapping, and network diagnostics independently.

• Functionality: These modules enable controllers to communicate with devices like drives, sensors, and HMIs from different vendors, breaking down protocol barriers. They handle the "heavy lifting" of converting data formats, managing network traffic, and providing diagnostic information to the main controller, which simplifies system integration.

• Types: ProSoft offers a wide variety of modules for major industrial protocols, including:

• PROFIBUS: Master and Slave modules for ControlLogix and CompactLogix platforms.

• Modbus: Master and Slave modules for various platforms, including Modbus TCP/IP.

  PROFINET: Controller and Device modules.

• EtherNet/IP: Gateways to other protocols.

• Key Features:

• In-chassis Integration: Modules designed to fit directly into the backplane of a host controller (like a Rockwell Automation PLC), eliminating the need for external wiring and power supplies.

• Data Mapping: Simple configuration tools, often with Add-On Instructions (AOI), for mapping data between the module and the host controller's memory.

• Diagnostics: On-board LED displays or web interfaces provide real-time status and error information in plain English, simplifying troubleshooting.

• Firmware: The module's firmware contains the specific communication protocol stack, which is regularly updated to support new features and devices.

Product Parameters

While a traditional CPU's specs would focus on clock speed and cores, a ProSoft communication module's parameters highlight its communication capabilities and industrial ruggedness.

• Processor: A dedicated industrial-grade processor, such as a 400MHz ARM9 G20.

• Memory: Internal RAM for data buffers and flash memory for firmware and configuration files (e.g., 64MB SDRAM, 256MB NAND Flash).

• Communication Ports: Typically includes one or more Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps) and serial ports (RS-232, RS-485, RS-422), which are electrically isolated.

• Network Specifications: Defines the specific protocol support (e.g., PROFIBUS DP-V1, Modbus TCP/IP) and the number of devices it can connect to or the size of I/O data it can handle.

• Operating Environment: Industrial-grade ratings for operating temperature (e.g., 0°C to 50°C), shock (e.g., 15G), and vibration (e.g., 5G).

• Power Supply: Typically draws power directly from the backplane of the host controller (e.g., 24 VDC).

• Certifications: Compliance with industrial standards like ODVA, PROFINET Class A, and safety certifications like UL and CE.

Product Advantages

• Simplified Integration: ProSoft modules are known for their ease of use. They often come with pre-built configuration tools and Add-On Instructions that drastically reduce commissioning time and effort.

• Seamless Connectivity: They provide a reliable bridge between disparate protocols, allowing equipment from multiple vendors to communicate as if they were a single system.

• Reduced Controller Load: By handling all communication tasks, the module frees up the main controller's processor for its primary control functions, which can improve system performance and scan time.

• Robustness: Designed to operate in harsh industrial environments with excellent resistance to shock, vibration, and electrical noise.

• Advanced Diagnostics: Built-in tools and status indicators provide clear, actionable information for troubleshooting network issues, minimizing downtime.

Important Considerations

• Protocol Matching: Select the module that precisely matches the communication protocol of the devices you need to connect.

• Platform Compatibility: Ensure the module is compatible with your host controller platform (e.g., ControlLogix, CompactLogix, Quantum).

• Firmware and Software: Keep the module's firmware updated to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of your controller's software and to access new features.

• Wiring and Isolation: Always follow the manufacturer's wiring diagrams and best practices to maintain signal integrity and leverage the module's electrical isolation capabilities.

• Network Architecture: Design your network topology carefully, considering subnets, IP addressing, and data flow to optimize performance and prevent communication bottlenecks.
