Modbus TCP/IP Communication Client Module
MVI56-MNETC
The MVI56 Modbus TCP/IP Client Communication Module is designed to allow ControlLogix processors to interface easily with other Modbus TCP/IP protocol-compatible devices.
Compatible devices include not only Modicon processors (which support the Modbus TCP/IP protocol) but also a wide assortment of other server devices.
Features and Benefits
This module was created to improve the performance when servers are not needed on a Modbus TCP/IP network. The module supports up to 30 clients with up to 16 commands for each client, making it easy to enable/disable the commands from the ladder logic. The client command control word contains one bit for each command. This module does not support the conditional write command.
Some of the other features include:
- Support for the storage and transfer of up to 5000 registers to/from the ControlLogix processor's controller tags
- Module memory usage that is completely user definable
- 10/100 MB Ethernet compatible interface
- Configurable parameters for the client include:
- Minimum Command Delay
- User Defined Commands (Read/Write)
Applications
With the growing trend of Ethernet technology in the industrial marketplace, this product has a wide variety of application uses.
- Food processing
- Petrochemical
- Pulp and paper
- Automobile manufacturing
- Water and Wastewater
- Oil and Gas
- Power and Electric
Functional Specifications
- Operation via simple ladder logic
