PROSOFT MVI56E-MNET Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Network Interface Module

Description

PROSOFT MVI56E-MNET Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Network Interface Module is an enhanced communication module exclusively designed for the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix platform, enabling seamless integration between ControlLogix systems and Modbus TCP/IP network devices. It operates on the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, with 1 Ethernet port supporting 10/100 Base-T transmission speeds, and functions as both a Modbus master or client to facilitate efficient industrial data exchange.

This single-slot module features a 5000 Word (16-bit register) available memory that supports custom data, and requires 800 mA of 5VDC power and 3 mA of 24VDC power for operation. Its robust design includes a wide operating and storage temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius, and it measures 12.7 x 8.9 x 2.5 centimeters for flexible rack integration.

Key enhanced features include support for data priority settings to optimize communication performance, compatibility with ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software for easy online/offline configuration and diagnostics, and a built-in web server via the Ethernet port for local access to module status, firmware updates, and documentation. It is backward compatible with earlier MVI56 Modbus TCP/IP modules, sharing ladder logic and configuration files to simplify system upgrades. Ideal for standard industrial automation environments, it connects seamlessly with Modicon PACs and various Modbus TCP/IP-compatible instruments.
