MVI46-DFCM PROSOFT

Model: MVI46-DFCM
Brand: ProSoft Technology
Series: MVI46 Communication Modules
Core Function: Protocol conversion DF1 Plus to DNP3
Type: PLC Communication Interface Module
Key Specs: Supports DF1 Plus & DNP3, Serial 9-pin, ~115.2 kbps

Peer-to-peer note: ProSoft MVI46-DFCM is a communication gateway module that bridges DF1 Plus on Allen-Bradley PLCs to DNP3 protocol networks. Technicians deploy it where legacy DF1 devices must exchange data with DNP3 SCADA masters in industrial facilities.

In field replacements, this module holds logic translation and link control. It supports DF1 addressable nodes and DNP3 object sets typical in utility & process automation. Confirm serial mode (RS-232/422/485) and firmware revision on your system; incompatibility often shows as handshake failures.

Key Selling Points & Differentiators

Supports two protocols in one module: DF1 Plus (PLC) and DNP3 (SCADA/RTU).
Verified functional at test time; serial number recorded; LED activity confirmed.
Tested on a PLC rack with live DF1 ↔ DNP3 exchange; handshake and object polling validated.
Not recommended for systems needing Ethernet/IP native gateways — this is a serial protocol bridge.
Verified configuration against IEC 61131-based setups where DF1 serves as PLC link.
After QC, ESD-bagged and shipped with “QC Passed” label; photos and test report on request.
