DF1 Master Protocol Specifications
  • The port on the DF1 module can be configured as a Master port. When configured in master mode, the DFCM module is capable of reading and writing data to remote DF1 devices, enabling the Flex platform to act as a SCADA sub-master.
  • Command List: Up to 100 commands, each fully-configurable for function, slave address, register to/from addressing and word/byte count
  • Status Data: Error codes available on an individual command basis. In addition, a slave status list is maintained per active master port.
  • Polling of Command List: User-configurable polling of commands, including disabled, continuous, and on change of data (write only)
Tested Hardware Connections
  • Several hardware connections have been tested by ProSoft or have been customer field tested. To our knowledge, the following physical connections have been successful:
  • RA Panel view (Full Duplex point-point, DFCM as slave)
  • RA Processors (Full/Half duplex, DFCM as either master or slave)
  • RA Power Monitors (485 Half-Duplex DFCM as Master)
DF1 ports
  • Full and half duplex modes supported
  • CRC and BCC error checking
  • Memory usage is completely user configurable, supporting the storage and transfer of up to 4000 registers to/from the control processor
  • 125 word read and write command lengths supported
  • Floating point data movement supported
Features and Benefits
  • The MVI94-GSC-E allows Rockwell Automation Flex I/O compatible processors to interface easily with other serial communication devices. Compatible devices include bar code readers, scanners, scales, printers, terminals and any other serial communication devices
  • The MVI94-GSC-E module is the ideal solution for the many applications where ASCII character communications must be added to the FLEX platform. Applications using the MVI94-GSC-E module can be found in many industrial sectors generally involving the following applications:
  • Bar code scanner interfaces
  • Weigh scale interfaces
  • Legacy ASCII protocol connections
  • Terminal port emulation
  • Printer driver (alarm/status printer)
DF1 Slave Protocol Specifications
  • The module accepts DF1 commands from an attached DF1 master unit. When in slave mode, the module can accept DF1 commands from a master to read/write data stored in the module's internal registers. This data can be derived from other DF1 slave devices on the network through a master port or from the processor and is easily transferred to the processor's data registers.
