ProSoft MVI56-MNET ControlLogix Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module
Product Overview
The ProSoft MVI56-MNET is a ruggedized industrial communication interface designed to bridge Rockwell Automation ControlLogix® processors with Modbus TCP/IP networks. By occupying a single slot in a 1756 chassis, this module enables ControlLogix CPUs to act as both a Modbus TCP/IP Client (Master) and Server (Slave).
This dual-mode functionality allows for simultaneous bi-directional data exchange with up to 125 server devices. The MVI56-MNET is specifically engineered for high-reliability environments such as power plants, water treatment facilities, and oil & gas refineries, where seamless integration between Allen-Bradley hardware and third-party instruments (meters, VFDs, and flow computers) is essential for operational transparency.
