5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI56E Modbus TCP/IP Client Enhanced Communication Module -
Client/Server 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 (10
MNET, 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.
