6.1 Product Specifications
The MVI69 Generic ASCII Ethernet Interface module is designed to allow CompactLogix or
MicroLogix processors to interface easily with ASCII devices using the TCP/IP protocol.
Compatible devices may be either ASCII instruments with built-in Ethernet or Ethernet
connection via a thin server to the existing ASCII device.
Five servers and Clients are present on the module permitting both the reception and
transmission of data between the Rockwell Automation processor and attached devices.
The MVI69-GEC module is a powerful communication interface for CompactLogix or
MicroLogix processors. Developed under license from Rockwell Automation, the module
incorporates proprietary backplane technology that enables powerful data access between
the module and the CompactLogix or MicroLogix processor.
6.1.1 General Specifications
 Single-slot, 1769 backplane-compatible
 The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor
memory for data transfer between processor and module.
 Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module memory and processor controller
tags. A sample ladder file with AOI is included.
 Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to module. A sample
configuration file is included.
 Supports CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 LRP processors with 1769 I/O bus
capability and at least 800 mA of 5 Vdc backplane current.
