ProSoft MVI56-GSC ASCII Serial Communication Modules
Configured for serial string processing in Rockwell Automation platforms, the ProSoft MVI56-GSC (MVI56-GSC ASCII Serial Communication Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution. It coordinates ASCII, Modbus ASCII, and DF1 protocol transactions across dual independent serial ports, routing character strings directly into the processor backplane memory without requiring external gateway hardware.
Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix
The hardware identifier MVI56-GSC designates the ProSoft communication processor optimized for 1756 ControlLogix chassis integration. Standard hardware configuration includes dual independent serial ports and an internal register database designed to handle large character strings for backplane data mapping.

Intrinsic Safety and DIN-Rail Mounting Stability
The module relies on robust backplane bus connections within the ControlLogix chassis, maintaining mechanical stability under high-vibration industrial conditions. Surge voltage protection limits safeguard internal transceiver circuits against electrostatic discharge and transient voltage spikes originating from long serial cabling runs. Protocol conversion latencies remain constrained within strict deterministic limits to ensure real-time character string updates across connected serial networks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum backplane current draw required by the MVI56-GSC module when installed in a ControlLogix chassis?
A: The module consumes approximately 800 mA from the 5 VDC backplane power supply during active multi-port serial communication operations.
Q: Does the module support independent baud rate and data format configurations across its two serial ports?
A: Yes, each port operates independently with custom configurable parameters for baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity settings, and flow control.
Field Installation Guidelines
Insert the module directly into any available single slot of a Rockwell Automation 1756 ControlLogix chassis, ensuring the backplane connector aligns properly before securing the top and bottom latching tabs. Connect serial communication cables using shielded twisted-pair wiring, ensuring proper pinout matching for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 interfaces. Terminate the cable shield drain wire strictly to the cabinet ground earth bar at one end to suppress electromagnetic interference across serial lines.
