The MVI56E-MNETC and MVI56E-MNETCXT are functionally the same. The MVI56E-MNETC is designed for standard process applications. The MVI56E- MNETCXT is designed for the Logix-XT™ control platform, allowing it to operate in extreme environments. It tolerates higher operating temperatures, and has a conformal coating to protect it from harsh or caustic conditions.
MVI56E enhancements include configuration and management through the module’s Ethernet port, and CIPconnect® technology for bridging though ControlNet™ and EtherNet/IP™ networks.
Supports up to 30 Clients and 20 servers
Faster response for multi-server applications
Minimizes impact to other server communications when one server device goes offline
Server capability provides access for HMIs, SCADA or DCS systems
RSLogix™ 5000 Integrated
The module communication is integrated with RSLogix 5000 using a supplied Add-On Instruction (AOI) or ladder file
No additional PAC/PLC programming required
Enable/disable commands easily from ladder logic
Programmatically enable various networked devices and their functions to support multiple applications or recipes, without having to reconfigure the module
Remotely configure and diagnose problems
Easy-to-use Windows-based configuration software connects through remote racks using EtherNet/IP and/or ControlNet via a 1756-ENxT and/or 1756-CNB interface module without requiring RSLinx, saving you money
Allows support of IT and Automation network segmentation
MVI56 backward compatible
Assists in extending current MVI56 applications by using newer technology that supports existing MVI56 ladder logic and module configuration
