The MVI56E-MNET is a Modbus TCP/IP communication module developed by ProSoft Technology for Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). It is designed to enable easy connectivity between Modbus TCP/IP protocol devices, including Modicon PAC and various instruments and devices.
The module has several features. First, it uses small I/O data images to extend the I/O of applications, especially for ControlNet or Ethernet applications in remote racks. Second, the MVI56E-MNET module is backward compatible, sharing ladder logic and module configuration files with existing MVI56 Modbus TCP/IP communication modules in the field, which provides users with the convenience of upgrading and replacement.
In addition, the MVI56E-MNET performs well in terms of communication capabilities. It can handle both read and write data, and is designed to paginate 40 registered read or write blocks at a time, for a total of 600 read registers and 600 write registers. This capability makes the module excellent in applications that require efficient, high-volume data transfer.
In terms of operating environment, the MVI56E-MNET communication module's base plate current load is rated at 800 MA at 5 volt DC and 3 mA at 24 volt DC. Its operating temperature range is 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and its storage temperature range is -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. The module can withstand 5% to 95% relative humidity without condensation, which makes it suitable for a variety of harsh industrial environments.
In general, MVI56E-MNET is a powerful, compatible, and strong communication capability Modbus TCP/IP communication module, suitable for industrial automation control systems that require efficient and stable communication.
Advantages:
Compatibility: The MVI56E-MNET module has excellent compatibility with older versions of Modbus as well as the single-slot 1756 ControlLogix backplane. This compatibility allows users to maintain a high degree of flexibility and convenience when upgrading or replacing existing systems.
Strong communication ability: the module can handle a large number of read and write data, and supports paging function, can handle multiple registered read or write data blocks at a time. This capability makes the MVI56E-MNET excellent in applications that require efficient, high-volume data transfer.
Wide range of applicable environments: MVI56E-MNET has a wide operating temperature range and relative humidity range, which can adapt to a variety of harsh industrial environments. At the same time, the rated current load of its base plate is also low, making the module perform well in terms of energy consumption.
Error diagnosis and module status monitoring: MVI56E-MNET provides error codes, counters and module status through server, client, ladder logic and controller labels, which makes it easy for users to monitor and diagnose the operating status of the module and find and resolve problems in time.
