The MVI56-BAS module allows you to
Create BASIC programs to transfer data between the ControlLogix and the MVI56-BAS moduleCreate foreign device interface for specific applications and easily integrate the device with the ControlLogix processorInterface to many devices that use ASCII interface to a ControlLogix backplane such as modems, printers, bar code readers, and scalesSave ControlLogix processor memory by running math algorithmsThe module acts as DF1 full-duplex device or a DF1 half-duplex slave
The BASIC programs are stored in the MVI56-BAS Compact Flash disk allowing the user to easily backup the BASIC programs to another Compact Flash disk or to a local PC. Up to 24065 Bytes of RAM are available.
The module contains three ports:
DH-485: DH-485 communication or BASIC program transferPRT1: ASCII communication or program portPRT2: ASCII communication or DF1 communication
The user can either create the BASIC programs using the command line, then save it to Compact Flash, or create the program on a PC and download it to the MVI56-BAS module. The user can also configure the module to execute a BASIC program automatically at power up.
