Product Q&A
Q: Does this module require a separate power supply? A: No, the MVI56-PDPS draws all necessary operating power directly from the ControlLogix backplane.
Q: Can it operate as a PROFIBUS Master? A: No, the MVI56-PDPS is strictly a Slave module. For Master functionality, the MVI56-PDPMV1 module is required.
Q: How is the PROFIBUS station address set? A: The node address (1 to 125) is configured via software using the ProSoft Configuration Builder or through the ladder logic in the Logix processor.
