The Prosoft MVI94-GSC, also known as the Generic Serial ASCII Network Interface Module, is a workhorse in the world of industrial automation. It acts as a bridge between Allen-Bradley Flex I/O compatible processors and various serial communication devices.

Here’s a closer look at what the MVI94-GSC does:

• Connects Flex I/O Processors to Serial Devices: This module allows Flex I/O processors to communicate with a wide range of serial devices like barcode scanners, printers, sensors, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and even other PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) as long as they use serial communication with ASCII protocol.
• Serial Communication Bridge: By handling the conversion between the Flex I/O processor’s internal communication format and the serial ASCII protocol, the MVI94-GSC facilitates seamless data exchange between these devices.
• Single Application Port: The module offers one application port for connecting to the serial device.
