MVI56E-MNETCR Modbus TCP/IP Multi Client Enhanced Network Interface Module with Reduced Data Block for ControlLogix

MVI56E-MNETCR Modbus TCP/IP Multi Client Enhanced Network Interface Module with Reduced Data Block for ControlLogix

The MVI56E Modbus TCP/IP Multi Client Enhanced Communication Module for Remote Chassis allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to interface easily with multiple Modbus TCP/IP server-compatible instruments and devices. The Multi Client module improves performance when controlling multiple servers on a Modbus TCP/IP network, by supporting up to 30 clients.
MVI56E enhancements include configuration and management through the module Ethernet port, CIPconnect technology for bridging through ControlNet and EtherNet/IP networks, and has a web server to access on-board documentation, Add-On Instructions, and sample program files.
This module uses a small I/O data image for transfer of data between the module and the ControlLogix processor, making it ideal for ControlNet or Ethernet applications with the module in a remote rack.

Features and Benefits

Supports up to 30 Clients	Faster response for multi server applications Reduces network traffic Minimizes impact to other server communications when one server device goes off-line
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.	Programatically 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 OEM saving you money Allows support of IT and Automation network segmentation
Web-enabled Ethernet port	The module has a built-in web server for easy access to documentation, module status, and to update firmware
MVI56 backward compatible	Assists in extending current MVI56 applications by using newer technology that supports existing MVI56 ladder logic and module configuration
