The Prosoft MVI56-MNETC is a Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Enhanced Communication Module designed for Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors. It acts as a bridge or translator, enabling ControlLogix PLCs to communicate with a wide variety of Modbus TCP/IP compliant devices seamlessly within an industrial automation system.

Here’s a breakdown of the key functionalities of the Prosoft MVI56-MNETC:

• Modbus TCP/IP Support: This module facilitates communication using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, a widely adopted industrial networking protocol for exchanging data between devices over Ethernet networks.
• Client and Server Functionality: The MVI56-MNETC offers both Modbus TCP/IP client and server capabilities. In client mode, it can initiate data requests from other Modbus TCP/IP servers on the network. In server mode, it responds to data requests initiated by the ControlLogix processor. This flexibility allows for versatile data exchange within the system.
• ControlLogix Compatibility: The module is specifically designed for use with Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors. It integrates seamlessly with the ControlLogix backplane, occupying a single slot.
• Multiple Modbus TCP/IP Device Communication: The MVI56-MNETC can communicate with multiple Modbus TCP/IP devices simultaneously. This makes it suitable for applications where the ControlLogix processor needs to interact with various instruments or controllers on the network.
