1.1 MVI69E-LDM Introduction
The MVI69E-LDM module is a CompactLogix backplane-compatible module that allows
Rockwell Automation CompactLogix processors to interface with relatively any Ethernet or
Serial device. With the supplied development tools and example applications, you are the
developer that controls exactly what this module can and cannot do.
ProSoft Technology's Linux Development modules make it possible for you to easily develop
and deploy C/C++ applications that interface with Bar Code Scanners, Legacy ASCII
protocols, Terminal Port Emulation, Printer Drivers (Alarm/Status printer), or any other
device requiring custom or proprietary Ethernet and Serial communications.
This document provides the information you need to develop application programs for the
MVI69E-LDM module.
This document assumes you are familiar with software development in the Linux
environment using the C/C++ programming languages. This document also assumes that
you are familiar with Rockwell Automation programmable controllers and the CompactLogix
platform.
