Key Specifications

Key Features & Advantages

• Powerful Multi-Connection & Data Handling – The module's standout feature is its ability to operate in both Client and Server modes simultaneously. It can actively poll up to 30 Modbus devices as a client, while also acting as a server for other systems to access. Its large register space (10,000 words) meets the data acquisition needs of medium to large automation systems.

• Seamless Integration & Easy Maintenance – As a single-slot module, it plugs directly into the ControlLogix chassis for seamless backplane integration—eliminating the need for external gateway hardware. The ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) graphical software enables communication parameter configuration without complex coding. The module also features a built-in Web server for remote monitoring and fault diagnosis, simplifying maintenance.

• High Reliability & Industrial-Grade Design – Built with industrial-grade components, the module offers EMI and vibration resistance, with an operating temperature range of 0–60°C, ensuring stable operation in high-noise industrial environments. It also supports CIPconnect technology, ensuring compatibility with EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networks.

Typical Applications

The MVI56-MNET is widely used in applications requiring integration between ControlLogix systems and Modbus TCP/IP devices, such as:

• Manufacturing – Connecting variable frequency drives, servo drives, and robot controllers for automated production line control.

• Energy Management – Bridging smart meters and power monitoring terminals for real-time energy data acquisition.

• Process Control – In oil & gas, chemical, and metallurgical industries, connecting sensors, actuators, and third-party PLCs (e.g., S7, Modicon) for cross-vendor data acquisition and unified control.

• Infrastructure – In water treatment and building automation, integrating HVAC, lighting, and security systems for enhanced management intelligence.
