The Prosoft MVI56-103M is a Main Network Interface Module designed for Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix platform. It specifically enables communication with devices on an IEC 60870-5-103 network.

Here’s a breakdown of its key functionalities:

• IEC 60870-5-103 Master: The MVI56-103M operates as a Master on an IEC 60870-5-103 network. This means the ControlLogix processor can initiate communication and exchange data with Slave devices on the network.
• Dual Ports: It features two independent serial communication ports. Each port can be configured to communicate with a separate IEC 60870-5-103 slave network, providing redundancy or the ability to connect to two different segments.
• ControlLogix Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix processors.

Some of the advantages of using the Prosoft MVI56-103M include:

• IEC 60870-5-103 Communication: Enables the ControlLogix processor to communicate with a wide range of devices that comply with the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol, such as substation communication modules, relays, and other serial communication devices.
• Flexibility and Scalability: Expands the capabilities of the ControlLogix system by allowing it to integrate with various IEC 60870-5-103 devices, potentially within a larger automation or SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system.
• Dual Network Support: The two serial ports provide the ability to connect to two separate IEC 60870-5-103 networks, enhancing communication reach.
