Honeywell 2MLL-C42B MasterLogic-200 RS-422 Serial Communication Module
The Honeywell 2MLL-C42B is a dual-channel serial communication module designed for the MasterLogic-200 PLC system. Operating as a dedicated Snet interface, it provides asynchronous serial data exchange between PLC controllers and external industrial field devices, including drives, instrumentation, and supervisory systems.
Channel Configuration and Communication Performance
The module features two independent RS-422 serial channels supporting asynchronous communication at transmission speeds from 300 bps to 115,200 bps. It accommodates point-to-point (1:1), multidrop (1:N), and multi-master (N:M) network topologies across distances up to 500 meters. Up to 32 stations (station numbers 0-31) can be addressed across the network segment.
Protocol Support and System Diagnostics
Programmable via SoftMaster-NM software, the 2MLL-C42B supports Modbus RTU/ASCII, peer-to-peer (P2P), and user-defined custom protocols. Data framing options include selectable data bits (7 or 8), stop bits (1 or 2), and parity checking (odd, even, or none). Front-panel LEDs for RUN, I/F, TX, RX, and ERR deliver real-time diagnostic status alongside integrated loopback and frame monitoring functions.
