5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI56E Modbus TCP/IP Client Enhanced Communication Module 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.
5.1.1 General Specifications
 Backward compatible with previous MVI56-MNETC versions
 Single-slot 1756 ControlLogix backplane compatible
 10/100 Mbps auto crossover detection Ethernet configuration and application
port
 User-definable module data memory mapping of up to 10,000 16-bit registers
 CIPconnect-enabled network configuration and diagnostics monitoring using
ControlLogix 1756-ENxT and 1756-CNB modules and EtherNet/IP pass-
through communication
 ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software supported, a Windows-based
graphical user interface providing simple product and network configuration
 Sample ladder logic and Add-On Instructions (AOI) are used for data transfer
between module and processor
 4-character, alpha-numeric, scrolling LED display of status and diagnostics
data in plain English – no cryptic error or alarm codes to decipher
 ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) software used to locate the module on the
network and assign temporary IP address
 Personality Module - a non-volatile industrial-grade Compact Flash (CF) card
used to store network and module configuration for easy disaster recovery,
allowing quick in-the-field product replacement by transferring the CF card
5.1.2 Modbus TCP/IP Specifications
ProSoft Technology’s Modbus TCP/IP implementation (MNET) includes both
Client (Master) and server (slave) capabilities.
Modbus TCP/IP Server (Slave)
