Generic ASCII Serial Enhanced Communication Module
The Generic ASCII Serial Enhanced Communication Modules allow Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to easily interface with serial devices using non-specific ASCII character text string or byte value serial communication protocols. MVI56E-GSC enhancements include local and remote diagnostics through the module's Ethernet port, CIPconnect technology for bridging through Rockwell Automation ControlNet and EtherNet/IP networks, and an on-board web server containing status information, module documentation, and sample program files. The MVI56E-GSC module is a fast and easy way to add two fully configurable serial communication ports to the ControlLogix platform, eliminating the need to use the front port of the processor or to consume valuable processing time sending and receiving serial messages. The module is a single-slot, backplane-compatible solution. Each port is capable of sending and receiving large ASCII character strings or byte streams of up to 4096 characters or bytes. Many different serial communication devices can be integrated into the ControlLogix platform by building upon the sample ladder logic provided for this module.
