Prosoft MVI56E-LDM Linux development module In stock

The Prosoft MVI56E-LDM is a development module that allows you to create custom applications for use with Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It essentially adds a Linux computer onto the PLC backplane.

Here are some key features of the MVI56E-LDM:

• Runs Linux: The module itself runs a version of Linux, which allows you to develop and deploy custom applications using C/C++.
• Communicates with ControlLogix: The MVI56E-LDM has a built-in API for communicating with the ControlLogix processor. This allows your custom applications to exchange data with the PLC.
• Multiple Ports: The module has two independent Ethernet ports and two independent serial ports (RS232/422/485). This allows you to connect to a variety of devices.
• Customizable: The MVI56E-LDM has a scrolling LED display that you can use to show custom messages such as alarms or status updates.

Here are some common applications for the Prosoft MVI56E-LDM:

• Interfacing with proprietary protocols: If you need your ControlLogix system to communicate with a device that uses a special protocol, you can develop a custom driver for the MVI56E-LDM.
• Complex calculations: If you need to perform complex calculations that would slow down the ControlLogix processor, you can offload them to the MVI56E-LDM.
• Custom algorithms: You can use the MVI56E-LDM to develop custom algorithms for your application.
