ProSoft Technology has announced the launch of the MVI56E-MNET Modbus TCP/IP client/server Enhanced communication module. Designed for Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix family of PLCS, the module is designed for seamless connectivity with Modicon PAC and various Modbus TCP/IP compatible devices
.
The introduction of the MVI56E-MNET module marks another major advance in industrial communication technology. The module is not only backward compatible with earlier MVI56-MNET modules, but can be upgraded without changing existing ladder logic programs or module configurations. Enhanced features include local and remote configuration and diagnostics via the module’s EtherNet port, as well as CIPconnect® technology for bridging over Rockwell Automation ControlNet and EtherNet/IP networks
.
The MVI56E-MNET module performs exactly the same functions as the MVI56E-MNETXT, but the MVI56E-MNETXT is designed for the Logix-XT™ control platform to operate in extreme environments, including higher operating temperatures and with a protective coating to withstand harsh or corrosive conditions
.
The main features of this module include:
High performance processing power: Equipped with a high-speed processor to ensure fast response to control needs.
Powerful communication capabilities: Supports up to 30 client and 20 server connections, providing the ability to communicate with other DCS and SCADA systems.
Flexible configuration options: Users can configure and expand modules according to specific requirements.
High reliability: Industrial grade design, stable operation in harsh industrial environments.
The MVI56E-MNET module is expected to be widely used in many industrial sectors such as petrochemical, power, pharmaceutical, food processing and automotive manufacturing, and its powerful communication capabilities and flexible configuration options make it ideal for connecting modern industrial automation systems.
Concluding remarks:
With the introduction of the MVI56E-MNET module, ProSoft Technology has once again proven its leadership in the field of industrial communications. This module will undoubtedly become an important tool to improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial automation.
