Modbus TCP\/IP Client\/Server Enhanced Network Interface Module with Reduced Data Block for ControlLogix<\/h2>\n

Watch this Video<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

MVI56E-MNETR enhancements include local and remote configuration and diagnostics through the module’s Ethernet port, CIPconnect technology for bridging through Rockwell Automation ControlNet and EtherNetIP networks, and an on-board web server for access to module documentation and sample program files.<\/p>\n
