Description

The ProSoft MVI46-MNET is a high-performance communication module designed specifically for the Rockwell Automation SLC 500 platform. This module enables seamless integration of Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet connectivity into an existing SLC 500 rack, allowing the processor to act as either a client or a server in a Modbus network. It is an ideal solution for bridging legacy PLC hardware with modern Ethernet-based industrial networks.

Features

  • Direct backplane compatibility with Allen-Bradley 1746 chassis.
  • Supports Modbus TCP/IP protocol for versatile industrial communication.
  • Configurable as a Modbus TCP/IP Client or Server.
  • Large data capacity with 5000 words of data transfer.
  • Single-slot module design for efficient rack space utilization.

Applications

This module is widely used in industrial automation environments where SLC 500 controllers need to exchange data with HMI systems, SCADA software, or third-party field devices supporting the Modbus TCP/IP protocol. Common applications include water treatment, material handling, and manufacturing process control.
