PROFIBUS-DP Slave Solution – ProSoft Technology MVI56-PDPS | MVI56 Series
The ProSoft Technology MVI56-PDPS is a high-performance PROFIBUS-DP Slave communication module engineered for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix backplanes. It bridges ControlLogix PLCs to PROFIBUS-DP master networks — enabling seamless data exchange in process automation, discrete manufacturing, and hybrid control architectures.
Where This Product Is Used
- Automotive Manufacturing: Body-in-white welding lines where Siemens S7 masters control ControlLogix-based robot cells via PROFIBUS-DP.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Plants: DCS-to-PLC integration where a PROFIBUS master (e.g., ABB, Siemens) polls field instruments managed by ControlLogix.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: SCADA systems using PROFIBUS-DP to aggregate data from distributed ControlLogix pump and valve controllers.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: FDA-regulated batch processes requiring deterministic PROFIBUS-DP communication between supervisory systems and ControlLogix I/O.
- Power Generation & Utilities: Turbine control and substation automation where legacy PROFIBUS masters must interface with modern ControlLogix platforms.
- Material Handling & Conveyor Systems: Coordinating ControlLogix motion controllers under a central PROFIBUS-DP master for synchronized line control.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Transparent Slave Operation: The MVI56-PDPS appears as a standard PROFIBUS-DP slave to any master — no custom GSD file workarounds required for most masters.
- Flexible Data Mapping: Input/output data is mapped directly to ControlLogix controller tags via the module’s M0/M1 files, simplifying ladder logic integration.
- Auto Baud Rate Detection: Eliminates manual baud rate configuration; the module synchronizes automatically to the master’s network speed.
- Proven Reliability: MVI56 series modules are deployed in thousands of industrial sites globally, with a documented MTBF exceeding 500,000 hours.
- Comprehensive Diagnostics: Real-time status bits and error codes accessible from ControlLogix tags simplify commissioning and fault isolation.
- ProSoft Configuration Builder: Free, Windows-based configuration software with sample ladder logic included — reduces engineering time significantly.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the MVI56-PDPS work with a Siemens S7-300/400 as the PROFIBUS master?
A: Yes. The MVI56-PDPS is fully compatible with Siemens S7 masters. Import the module’s GSD file into STEP 7 or TIA Portal to configure the slave parameters.
Q: What is the maximum data exchange size?
A: The module supports up to 244 bytes of input data and 244 bytes of output data per PROFIBUS-DP cycle, consistent with the DP-V0 standard.
Q: Does this module support DP-V1 acyclic services?
A: The MVI56-PDPS supports DP-V0 cyclic data exchange. For DP-V1 acyclic services, consider the MVI56-PDPMNET or consult ProSoft’s selection guide.
Q: Is sample ladder logic provided?
A: Yes. ProSoft provides sample RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 ladder logic and Add-On Instructions (AOIs) as part of the ProSoft Configuration Builder package.
Q: Can multiple MVI56-PDPS modules be installed in the same chassis?
A: Yes, multiple modules can coexist in the same ControlLogix chassis, each configured as an independent PROFIBUS-DP slave node with a unique node address.
