Rockwell Automation Prosoft ControlLogix MVI56-MNET

Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Enhanced Network Interface Module for ControlLogix

MVI56E-MNET/MNETXT

The MVI56E-MNET and MVI56E-MNETXT are functionally the same. The MVI56E-MNET is designed for standard process applications. The MVI56E-MNETXT is designed for the Logix-XT control platform, allowing it to operate in extreme environments, at higher operating temperatures, and has a conformal coating to protect it from harsh or caustic conditions.

Functional Specifications of MVI56E-MNET

The MVI56E-MNET and MVI56E-MNETXT are functionally identical. The MVI56E- MNET is for normal process and control environments. The MVI56E-MNETXT is conformal coated for extra protection in harsh or caustic environments and operates in extreme high or low temperature environments.

Both modules transfer data in the largest possible I/O image block sizes, which optimizes data through-put and update time.

Both modules appear to the ControlLogix processor as input/output (I/O) modules, rather than communication modules.

Both modules work well in local rack applications and may be used in remote rack applications. (For information on a remote rack optimized, reduced data block version of the MNET module, look for the MVI56E-MNETR.)

Retrieving module status and executing special functions (command control, event commands, etc.) are supported in ladder logic by special block transfer codes
