FA Control Network

The MVI69-FLN FA Control Network Communication Module is a single slot solution that allows Rockwell Automation CompactLogix / MicroLogix I/O compatible processors to easily interface with other FL-net protocol compatible devices. The module implements FL-net version 2.00 (OPCN-2) defined by JEMA (The Japan Electrical Manufacturers Association) for the standard FA control network. FL-net is a master-less system.

The MVI69-FLN module acts as a gateway between the FL-net network and the CompactLogix / MicroLogix backplane. The data transfer from the CompactLogix / MicroLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the FL-net network. The module's internal database can be used to exchange Area 1 and Area 2 cyclic, network, and module status data between the processor and the FL-net network.

The MVI56E-FLN FA Control Network Enhanced communication module is a single-slot solution that allows ControlLogix-compatible processors to easily interface with other FL-net protocol devices. The module is certified for use with FL-net version 2.00 (OPCN-2) for the standard FA control network, as defined by JEMA (The Japan Electrical Manufacturers Association).

The MVI56E-FLN module acts as a gateway between the FL-net network and the ControlLogix backplane. The data transfer from the ControlLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the FL-net network.

The MVI56E-FLN module accepts commands to control and monitor the data stored in its databases. This data is passed between the module and the ControlLogix processor over the backplane for automation and control applications.
