Product Name:

PROSOFT+5302-MBP-MCM4 Module

Product Description:

The PROSOFT+5302-MBP-MCM4 is a communication interface module designed to facilitate the integration of Modbus-based devices and networks with Allen-Bradley PLC systems. This module typically serves as a bridge between different types of industrial automation protocols, allowing seamless data transfer and control.

The module supports Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP communication protocols, enabling PLCs or other industrial controllers to connect with Modbus devices. The MCM4 in the name likely signifies a series or type of product tailored for specific configurations or features, but specifics can vary.

Product Parameters / Specifications:

• Communication Protocols Supported:
  • Modbus RTU (over serial communication)
  • Modbus TCP (over Ethernet networks)
• Supported Modbus Devices:
  • Modbus RTU-compatible devices (e.g., sensors, actuators)
  • Modbus TCP-compatible devices (e.g., remote I/O, controllers)
• Input/Output Channels:
  • Typically used for integration with multiple I/O points on a Modbus network, but the exact I/O configurations depend on the specific module model.
• Mounting Type:
  • Typically designed for DIN rail mounting (standard for industrial automation equipment).
• Power Supply:
  • Typically operates with a standard industrial DC power supply (e.g., 24V DC).
• Ethernet Connection:
  • Depending on the model, Ethernet ports may support 10/100 Mbps connectivity.
