Description
PROSOFT 661-716-5100 Communication Terminal Adapter Module
Product Dimensions:
The ProSoft Technology 661-716-5100 (often associated with the MVI56 or MVI69 series modules, specifically within the RadioLinx or custom interface families) is a high-performance industrial communication component. ProSoft specializes in bridging the gap between different automation protocols.
Here is the detailed technical breakdown in English.
## Detailed Product Description
The 661-716-5100 is an industrial-grade communication interface designed to provide seamless data exchange between Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley) platforms and external networks or devices. It typically functions as a “gateway” or “protocol converter,” allowing a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to “talk” to non-native devices such as sensors, drives, or third-party SCADA systems.
## Technical Parameters
While specific parameters can vary based on the specific module firmware, the standard hardware specifications include:
| Parameter | Specification |
| Power Supply | Internal Backplane Power (Standard 5V or 24V DC) |
| Operating Temp | -25°C to 70°C (-13°F to 158°F) |
| Communication Ports | RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet (Model Dependent) |
| Isolation | 2500V RMS port-to-backplane isolation |
| Protocols Supported | Modbus RTU/TCP, PROFIBUS, DF1, or ASCII |
| Configuration | Configured via ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) |
## Key Product Advantages
-
Seamless Integration: Designed to fit directly into the Allen-Bradley chassis (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, or SLC), acting as a native module.
-
High Reliability: Built for harsh industrial environments with high vibration resistance and wide temperature tolerances.
-
Reduced Engineering Time: Includes pre-built Add-On Instructions (AOI) and ladder logic samples, significantly shortening the programming phase.
-
Versatility: Capable of handling complex protocol translations that standard PLCs cannot manage natively.
## Important Precautions (Usage Notes)
-
Static Discharge: Always use an ESD-grounded wrist strap when handling the module to prevent internal circuit damage.
-
Power Down: Never insert or remove the module while the backplane power is “ON” (unless the chassis specifically supports Hot-Swapping/RIUP).
-
Firmware Compatibility: Ensure the firmware version of the ProSoft module matches the Revision Level of your RSLogix/Studio 5000 software.
-
Wiring: Double-check RS-485 termination resistors; improper termination is the #1 cause of communication failure in the field.
## Product Applications
The 661-716-5100 is widely used in sectors requiring high-precision data synchronization:
-
Oil & Gas: Connecting remote flow meters to a central ControlLogix processor.
-
Water/Wastewater: Integrating disparate pump station controllers into a unified SCADA network.
-
Manufacturing: Linking CNC machines or robotic arms (using Modbus or ASCII) to a master PLC.
-
Power Generation: Monitoring electrical relays and power meters across a plant floor.
Note: Because “661-716-5100” often refers to a specific sub-assembly or internal part number within the ProSoft catalog, I recommend verifying the specific Model Prefix (e.g., MVI56-MCM) on the physical sticker for exact protocol documentation.
