ProSoft MVI46-MCM is an in-rack Modbus communication module that links serial Modbus devices directly to a ControlLogix backplane. It’s widely used in hybrid systems where drives, meters, or legacy PLCs stay on Modbus.

Teams pick it to avoid external gateways and extra cabinet wiring. Dual serial ports allow two independent channels, and typical baud rates up to 115.2 kbps support most polling architectures. Confirm Modbus role, memory mapping, and firmware revision before commissioning.

In-rack design eliminates external converters and power adapters
Master/Slave selectable; fits mixed Modbus network roles
Two serial channels per module for segmented field buses
QC burn-in >24 hours; Test Report and photos available on request
Compared with DIN-rail gateways: fewer wiring points inside Logix racks
Not recommended for Modbus TCP networks; use Ethernet modules instead
Modbus framing and timing follow serial implementation practices; validate during FAT
