The ProSoft Technology MVI56E-GSC is a specialized communication gateway module designed to solve one of the key challenges in industrial automation: integrating equipment from different manufacturers. This module serves as a protocol translator, allowing Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs) to directly interface with and manage GE Fanuc Genius I/O bus networks without requiring additional controllers or complex programming.

Key Technical Features:

• Protocol Conversion: Translates between the ControlLogix backplane protocol and the GE Genius I/O serial protocol in real-time, enabling transparent data exchange.

• High-Density I/O Support: Capable of interfacing with multiple Genius I/O blocks and devices on a single network, supporting a large number of I/O points.

• Deterministic Data Transfer: Ensures reliable and predictable communication timing, which is critical for real-time control applications.

• Configuration Software: Utilizes ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) for straightforward setup and monitoring, simplifying integration efforts.

• Diagnostic Capabilities: Provides comprehensive diagnostics for both the Genius network and the module itself, aiding in troubleshooting and maintenance.

Technical Specifications:

• Target PLC Platform: Allen-Bradley ControlLogix (fits in 1756 chassis)

• Supported Network: GE Fanuc Genius I/O Bus

• Isolation: 1500V AC (between network and backplane)

• Power Consumption: 1.5A @ 5V DC (from backplane)

• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)

Typical Applications:

• Retrofitting existing GE Genius I/O systems into new Allen-Bradley controlled machinery.

• Integrating legacy GE-based subsystems (e.g., a machine tool) into a larger Allen-Bradley controlled production line.

• Consolidating control platforms in facilities with mixed vendor equipment.

This module exemplifies ProSoft's role as a key enabler in industrial interoperability, providing a robust and reliable solution for connecting disparate automation systems and protecting investments in existing equipment.
