5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI56 Generic ASCII Ethernet Interface module is designed to allow
ControlLogix processors to interface easily with ASCII devices using the TCP/IP
protocol and the ControlLogix processor. Compatible devices may be either
ASCII instruments with Ethernet built-in 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 MVI56-GEC module is a powerful communication interface for ControlLogix
