Modbus Module Handles Multiple Devices

Aug. 4, 2010
MVI56E Modbus TCP/IP Multi-Client Enhanced Communication Modules (MVI56E-MNETC/CR) are intended for use with Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). 
The modules are designed to improve performance in applications where the Rockwell Automation system needs to control multiple Modbus TCP/IP server devices and controllers (such as Schneider Electric Modicon PACs) on the network. The MVI56E-MNET/CR version of the Modbus TCP/IP Multi-Client module uses a small I/O data image for scaling I/O to the application, suiting it well for ControlNet or EtherNet/IP applications with the module in a remote rack. MVI56E Modules are backward-compatible with existing MVI56 Modules in the field, allowing users to upgrade while benefiting from new enhancements, including diagnostics and configuration via Ethernet, Add-On Instruction for easy RSLogix integration, Graphical Configuration Interface and module disaster recovery support.ProSoft Technology Inc.www.prosoft-technology.com661.716.5100
