Modbus TCP/IP Multi Client/Server Enhanced Network Interface Module for ControlLogix
MFG #MVI56E-MNETC
Product Description:
The Modbus TCP/IP Multi Client/Server Enhanced Communications Module allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to interface easily with Modicon Programmable Automation Controller (PACs) , as well as 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. It also supports up to 20 server connections (10MNET, 10 MBAP). MVI56E enhancements include configuration and management through the module’s Ethernet port, and CIPconnect technology for bridging though ControlNet™ and EtherNet/IP™ networks.

- Backward compatible with previous MVI56-MNETC versions
- Single-Slot 1756 ControlLogix backplane compatible
- 10/100 Mbps auto crossover detection Ethernet configuration and application port
- User-definable module data memory mapping of up to 10,000, 16-bit registers
- ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software supported, a Windows-based graphical user interface providing simple product and network configuration
- Sample ladder logic and Add-On Instructions (AOI) are used for data transfer between module and processor
- Internal web server provides access to product documentation, module status, diagnostics, and firmware updates
- 4-character, alpha-numeric, scrolling LED display of status and diagnostics data in plain English - no cryptic error or alarm codes to decipher
- ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) software used to locate the module on the network and assign temporary IP address
- Personality Module - a non-volatile industrial-grade Compact Flash (CF) card used to store network and module configuration for easy disaster recovery, allowing quick in-the-field product replacement by transferring the CF card
- ProSoft Technology’s Modbus TCP/IP implementation (MNET) includes both client (master) and server (slave) capabilities
- Supports ten independent server connections for Service Port 502 (MBAP)
- Supports ten independent server connections for Service Port 2000 (Encapsulated)
- Accepts Modbus Function Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16, 17, 22 and 23
- Module data can be derived from other Modbus server devices on the network through the Client or from the ControlLogix processor
- Offers 30 Client connections with up to 16 commands each to talk to multiple servers
- Actively reads data from and writes data to Modbus TCP/IP devices, using MBAP or Encapsulated Modbus message formats
- Transmits Modbus Function Codes 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, and 16
- ControlLogix processor can be programmed to use special functions to control the activity on the Client by actively selecting commands to execute from the command list (Command Control) or by issuing commands directly from the ladder logic (Event Commands)
- Error codes, counters, and module status available from module memory through the server, through the Client, or through the ladder logic and controller tags in RSLogix™ 5000
- Modbus data types overlap in the module's memory database, so the same data can be conveniently read or written as bit-level or register-level data.
- Configurable floating-point data movement is supported, including support forEnron or Daniel® floating-point formats
- Special functions (Event Commands, Command Control, status, etc.) are supported by message transfer (unscheduled) using the MSG instruction
- Configurable parameters for the Client including a minimum response delay of 0 to 65535 ms and floating-point support
- Supports up to 30 Clients with up to 16 commands for each Client
- Error codes, counters, and module status available from module memory through the servers, through the Clients, or through the ladder logic and controller tags in RSLogix™5000
