ProSoft Technology® is pleased to announce the release of the ILX34-MBS Modbus® Serial Modules, which are the first in-chassis modules designed to connect Modbus® Serial with Rockwell Automation’s CompactLogix ™ L1x processors. They also work with 1734 Point I/O adapters.

The modules can be configured as a Modbus Master or Slave and come with an Add-On Instruction that is used to configure the modules and creates UDTs that have logical definitions for I/O, status, and control information.
These controller tags contain diagnostic data, enabling decisions to be made based on the nodes’ health. They support up to 30 Modbus® commands and up to 36 words per command, which should be sufficient for most applications.

Features:

  • Add-on Instruction creates UDTs, providing logical definitions for I/O, status, and control data.
  • Diagnostic data available in RSLogix 5000/Studio 5000 controller tags, allowing decisions to be made based upon node health.
  • Module configuration is backed up in the CompactLogix project (ACD file).
  • The serial port can be enabled or disabled through ladder logic.
  • Supports up to 1,000 words of data.
  • The serial port can be configured as a Modbus Master or Modbus Slave device.
  • Suitable for SCADA and field device interface applications.
