Description

The ProSoft MVI56-MNET is a high-performance network interface module designed specifically for Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors. This module enables seamless integration between ControlLogix systems and Modbus TCP/IP-compatible devices, acting as a bridge to facilitate data exchange in industrial automation environments. It supports both Client and Server modes, providing flexibility for various network architectures.

Features

  • Designed for seamless integration with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix backplanes.
  • Supports Modbus TCP/IP protocol for robust industrial communication.
  • Configurable as a Modbus TCP/IP Client or Server.
  • Includes one RJ45 Ethernet port for network communication and one RJ45 serial port for local configuration.
  • Facilitates data transfer between ControlLogix processors and third-party Modbus devices.

Applications

The MVI56-MNET is widely utilized in industrial control systems where Allen-Bradley PLCs must communicate with external Modbus-enabled hardware, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), power meters, remote I/O, or other third-party controllers. It is commonly found in oil and gas, water/wastewater, and manufacturing process control applications.
