Description
The part number MPB1-TP (often ordered or referenced as COM-MPB1-TP or part number 139850) refers to a communication module manufactured by Moeller / Eaton (Micro Innovation).
Product Overview
-
Manufacturer: Moeller / Eaton (Micro Innovation)
-
Part Number / Model: MPB1-TP (COM-MPB1-TP)
-
Component Type: Multi-Protocol Serial Communication Board / Interface Card
-
Platform: Moeller / Eaton XV400 / XV600 Series Micro Panels (HMI Operator Touch Terminals)
Key Specifications & Features
-
Physical Interfaces: Equipped to handle multiple legacy and industrial serial communication standards, including RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, and TTY configurations.
-
Multi-Protocol Support: Functions as a flexible protocol translator card, allowing the host HMI panel to communicate natively with a wide range of third-party controllers (such as Moeller Suconet K, Omron C/H/K series, Mitsubishi A/F series, Matsushita FP, and Telemecanique Unitelway).
-
Firmware & Configuration: Utilizes an onboard retentive flash memory storage system for standard and alternative drivers (like the Moeller PS40 PLC driver), which can be selected or updated using physical onboard jumper settings (
J6/J7).
Industrial Deployment
-
Applications: Integrated into industrial HMI touch panels and visualization units within manufacturing lines, factory automation cells, and machinery control rooms to link operator displays with multi-vendor PLC backbones via serial communication loops.
