5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI56 IEC 60870-5-104 Server Communication Module allows ControlLogix
compatible processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-104 protocol-
compatible hosts.
The MVI56-104S module acts as an input/output module between the IEC-
60870-5-104 Ethernet network and the ControlLogix processor. Data transfer
between the module and the processor is asynchronous from the actions on the
network. Databases are defined by the user for the module to hold data as
required by the protocol.
The MVI56-104S module is a powerful communication interface for ControlLogix
processors. Developed under license from Rockwell Automation, the module
incorporates proprietary backplane technology that enables powerful data access
to the ControlLogix processor.
