PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley MVI69E-MBTCP CompactLogix Communication Module provides Modbus TCP/IP connectivity for 1769 control architectures. This single-slot module transfers input and output data between Modbus networks and the CompactLogix backplane. It features one RJ45 Ethernet communication port supporting 10/100 Base-T speeds. The module interfaces directly with compatible Modbus TCP/IP client and server devices.
The module provides up to 10,000 words of internal data memory for register handling. Selectable backplane I/O sizes include 60, 120, or 240 sixteen-bit integers. System layout requires mounting within a power supply distance rating of 4 slots. Installations with 1769-L43 or 1769-L45 controllers require placement in the first two slots. Configuration requires ProSoft Configuration Builder and ProSoft Discovery Service software tools.
