PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley MVI69L-MBS CompactLogix Communication Module provides serial data connectivity for industrial automation systems. This unit supports serial communication across selectable RS-232, RS-485, or RS-422 physical protocols. The hardware architecture facilitates input and output data transfers with a capacity of 240 words each. This capacity allows substantial data transactions between the CompactLogix controller and connected serial devices.
Power requirements include a backplane current load rated at 450 mA during operational cycles. The module operates in ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C. Storage temperatures range from -40°C to 85°C to accommodate diverse storage environments. Relative humidity limits range from 5% to 95% non-condensing during standard operation. Engineers can deploy this hardware at installation elevations reaching up to 1000 meters.
