Description
Description
The ProSoft MVI69-MNET is a high-performance Modbus TCP/IP communication module designed specifically for integration with Rockwell Automation CompactLogix programmable automation controllers. This module allows the CompactLogix processor to interface seamlessly with Modbus TCP/IP-enabled devices, acting as either a Client or a Server to facilitate data exchange across industrial Ethernet networks.
Features
- Designed for seamless integration into the Rockwell CompactLogix platform.
- Supports up to 5,000 registers for extensive data handling.
- Configurable as a Modbus TCP/IP Client or Server.
- Supports up to 100 Client commands for complex network architectures.
- Data transfer managed via standard ladder logic for simplified programming.
- Occupies a single slot in the CompactLogix chassis.
Applications
This module is widely utilized in industrial automation environments where CompactLogix controllers must communicate with third-party devices such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), power meters, remote I/O, and other controllers supporting the Modbus TCP/IP protocol. It is ideal for process control, energy management, and machine-to-machine communication.
