5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI69 HART Multi-drop Master Communication Module is an CompactLogix
or MicroLogix backplane-compatible module that allows CompactLogix or
MicroLogix processors to interface easily with HART compatible devices.
Devices commonly supporting the protocol include pressure, temperature, flow
transmitters, as well as other similar instruments commonly found in the process
(and other) industry.
The MVI69-HART Master Communication Module allows Rockwell Automation
CompactLogix or MicroLogix compatible processors to easily communicate with
HART slave devices. The MVI69-HART module interfaces up to 15 devices on
each HART channel with the CompactLogix or MicroLogix processor. HART
channels on the module support master protocol commands to interface with
slave devices on their own networks. Each port is individually configurable. Data
is exchanged between the HART network and the CompactLogix or MicroLogix
processor backplane using the internal database contained in the module and
direct control by the processor’s ladder logic and pre-defined data objects (4000
registers maximum).
The MVI69-HART module is the perfect solution for industrial applications in
chemical and refining operations, to gas and liquid distribution systems, and
remote offshore monitoring stations are addressing virtually all aspects of control,
data acquisition, and maintenance.

5.1.1 General Specifications

Single-slot, 1769 backplane-compatible

The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to
processor memory for data transfer between processor and module.

Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module memory and
processor controller tags. A sample ladder file with AOI is included.

Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to
module. A sample configuration file is included.

Supports CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 LRP processors with 1769 I/O
bus capability and at least 800 mA of 5 Vdc backplane current.
