MDA Scientific System 16 Slave Module

MVI56-MDA16

The MVI56 MDA Scientific System 16 Gas Analyzer Slave Module allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors to interface easily as a host with MDA Scientific CM4 gas monitoring hardware (See MVI56-MDA4 for a CM4 solution).

Features and Benefits

The MVI56-MDA16 module acts as an input/output module between the System 16 network and the Rockwell Automation backplane. The data transfer from the ControlLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the System 16 network. A 1600-word register space in the module is used to exchange data between the processor and the System 16 network.

General Specifications

  • Single Slot - 1756 backplane compatible
  • The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor and module
  • Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor. Sample ladder file included.
  • Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to module. Sample configuration file included
  • Local or remote rack

Applications

This application is useful for any industry producing, using, or exposed to toxic or corrosive gases, where interfacing the System 16 Gas Analyzer with a ControlLogix processor is required.

Functional Specifications

  • Support for the storage and transfer of up to 1600 registers to/from the ControlLogix processor's data files
  • Two System 16 slave ports.
  • Configurable parameters include:
  • Baud Rate 110 to 115,200
  • Parity None, Odd and Even
  • Data Bits 5 to 8
  • Stop Bits 1 or 2
  • RTS On and Off Timing 0 to 65535 milliseconds
  • Use of CTS Modem Line Yes or No

Operating Specifications

The MDA-16 product includes the following standard features:

  • Two fully configurable serial ports, each capable of supporting the System 16 Slave functionality
  • Supports one System 16 unit per serial port, 2 total per module
  • Memory mapping will be pre-defined in the module to ease implementation in the ladder program
  • RS-485 connection from each port directly to the System 16 unit
  • Supported System 16 command codes:
  • Write Commands
    • 0x30 Sequential Sample Results
    • 0x50 System Configuration
    • 0x52 Point Enable Masks
    • 0x53 Current System State
