Products Description
PROSOFT MVI56-MNETR Modbus TCP Communication Module in stock
PROSOFT MVI56-MNETR is an in-chassis Modbus TCP client/server communication module designed for Allen‑Bradley ControlLogix 1756 rack. It adopts reduced data block architecture, realizing high-efficiency data exchange between ControlLogix PAC and Modbus TCP field instruments, drives and third-party controllers.
This module supports 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 interface, acts as both Modbus TCP client and server. It features on-board web server for remote configuration and diagnosis, and communicates with ControlLogix CPU through backplane bus, widely used for protocol conversion in industrial process automation.
