PROSOFT MVI56E-MNETR Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module

Description

PROSOFT MVI56E-MNETR Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module is a single-slot module from the MVI56E series, designed for compatibility with ControlLogix controllers. It features 1 Ethernet port supporting 10/100 Base-T transmission rates, and includes a 5000 Word, 16-bit register for custom data storage. As a dual-role communication module, it functions as both a Modbus TCP/IP client to retrieve data from remote servers (such as sensors, actuators, or other PLCs) and a Modbus TCP/IP server to enable external devices to access ControlLogix PLC data. It supports multiple communication protocols, including Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, and DF1, for flexible adaptation to diverse industrial network environments. Built with an industrial-grade design, it delivers high reliability and stability, with an operating temperature range of -20 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. The module uses a compact I/O data image to expand application I/O, making it ideal for ControlNet or Ethernet applications where the module is installed in a remote rack. It also offers backward compatibility with legacy MVI56 Modbus TCP/IP modules, allowing users to upgrade without modifying existing ladder logic or configuration files, and integrates tightly with RSLogix5000 via built-in web server access for status monitoring and firmware updates.
