Specification
Platform: CompactLogix
Protocol: Modbus
Mounting Method: Chassis
RSLogix 5000 Integrated: Module communication is integrated within RSLogix 5000 using a sample Add-On Instruction (AOI) or sample ladder logic file
Graphical User Interface Software: CIPconnect-enabled, allows remote configuration and diagnostic access across multiple bridged EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networks using Rockwell Automation 1756-ENxT and 1756-CNB network interface modules
Backward-Compatible: Enhanced features and flexibility without incurring expensive reprogramming costs
Web-enabled Ethernet port with Discovery Service: ProSoft Discovery Service, a software utility to locate MVI56E modules on the network and assign a temporary IP address for easy configuration
Graphical User Interface Software: ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides online or offline configuration and online diagnostics using the high-speed Ethernet port
RSLogix 5000 Integrated: No additional programming and/or configuration software are required
Reduced Input/Output Image Size: Uses less bandwidth on process control networks like ControlNet or EtherNet/IP
Web-enabled Ethernet port with Discovery Service: Module's built-in Ethernet port provides a web server for local access to documentation, module status, and firmware updates
Backward-Compatible: Upgrade earlier MVI56-MNETR modules without changing existing ladder logic programs or module configurations
Reduced Input/Output Image Size: Optimizes communication for more efficient remote rack installations, especially when using redundant ControlLogix processors
The Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Enhanced Communication Module with Reduced Data Block allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors to interface easily with Modbus TCP/IP-compatible devices, such as Modicon Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) and a wide variety of Modbus TCP/IP-compatible instruments and devices. The MVI56E-MNETR uses a reduced Input/Output (I/O) data image block size for transferring data between itself and a ControlLogix processor. This makes it ideal for remote rack applications using ControlNet or EtherNet/IP process networks. The module also works well for applications that require redundant ControlLogix processors. MVI56E-MNETR enhancements include local and remote configuration and diagnostics through the module's Ethernet port, CIPconnect technology for bridging though Rockwell Automation ControlNet and EtherNetIP networks, and an on-board web server for access to module documentation and sample program files.
