ProSoft MVI56-PDPMV1 PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master Network Module – ControlLogix Communication Series
Imagine a modern manufacturing plant where hundreds of field devices — variable frequency drives, remote I/O racks, intelligent sensors, and valve actuators — suddenly lose communication with the control system. Production halts. Alarms cascade. Engineers scramble. The root cause: a failed PROFIBUS master interface. In process-critical environments running PROFIBUS DP networks, the master module is not a peripheral — it is the nervous system of the entire field bus. Without a reliable, certified PROFIBUS DP-V1 master, your ControlLogix PLC is isolated from the field, and your plant stands still.
The ProSoft Technology MVI56-PDPMV1 is a Class 1 PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master module engineered specifically for the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix platform. Within the MVI56 series — ProSoft’s flagship line of in-rack communication modules — the MVI56-PDPMV1 occupies the highest tier of PROFIBUS integration, supporting both the legacy DP-V0 cyclic data exchange and the advanced DP-V1 acyclic messaging required for parameterization, diagnostics, and alarm handling of intelligent field devices. With over two decades of proven deployments across automotive, oil & gas, water treatment, and discrete manufacturing, this module has earned its place as a globally trusted solution for ControlLogix-to-PROFIBUS connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between MVI56-PDPMV1 and MVI56-PDPM?
A: The MVI56-PDPMV1 supports PROFIBUS DP-V1 acyclic messaging in addition to the standard DP-V0 cyclic data exchange supported by the older MVI56-PDPM. DP-V1 is required for parameterization and extended diagnostics of intelligent field devices such as smart transmitters and variable speed drives.
Q: Is the MVI56-PDPMV1 compatible with all ControlLogix CPU versions?
A: Yes, the module is compatible with the full range of 1756 ControlLogix CPUs. It communicates via the standard ControlLogix backplane and is configured using ProSoft Configuration Builder, which supports all current Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000 project versions.
Q: How many PROFIBUS slaves can the MVI56-PDPMV1 support?
A: The module supports up to 125 PROFIBUS DP slave addresses (addresses 1–125), which is the full address range defined by the PROFIBUS DP standard.
Q: Do I need a license for ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB)?
A: No. ProSoft Configuration Builder is available as a free download from ProSoft Technology’s website. There are no per-seat or annual licensing fees.
Q: Can I replace the module without shutting down the ControlLogix chassis?
A: ControlLogix chassis support hot-swap of I/O and communication modules. However, removing the PROFIBUS master will interrupt all PROFIBUS slave communications. Plan any module replacement during a scheduled maintenance window and ensure your application handles the communication interruption gracefully.
Q: What cable and connector type does PROFIBUS DP use?
A: PROFIBUS DP uses a shielded twisted-pair cable (typically Belden 3079A or equivalent) with 9-pin D-sub connectors. The characteristic impedance is 150Ω. Termination resistors must be enabled at both ends of the bus segment.
Q: Does Konmask.com provide export documentation for international orders?
A: Yes. We provide commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and any other export documentation required for customs clearance in your destination country.
