The ProSoft MVI69-MNET is a high-performance communication module designed to facilitate seamless Modbus TCP/IP connectivity within the Rockwell Automation CompactLogix platform. This single-slot module acts as an interface between the ControlLogix processor and Modbus-enabled devices, allowing for efficient data exchange across industrial networks.
Features
Designed for seamless integration with Rockwell Automation CompactLogix 1769 backplanes.
Supports up to 5000 registers for extensive data handling capabilities.
Enables up to 100 user-configurable Client commands.
Utilizes standard ladder logic for simplified data transfer and configuration.
Occupies a single slot in the 1769 chassis for compact installation.
Applications
This communication module is ideal for industrial automation environments requiring data integration between PLC systems and third-party Modbus TCP/IP devices, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), power meters, sensors, and remote I/O stations.
