PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley MVI56E-MNET ControlLogix Interface Module connects ControlLogix systems to Modbus TCP/IP networks. It facilitates Ethernet communication for industrial data exchange. The module functions in both client and server operational modes. Users execute configuration tasks locally or remotely via the onboard Ethernet interface. Remote diagnostic tools operate across the network to provide direct status monitoring. The unit maintains stable communication links across standard network infrastructures.
Hardware features include a standard RJ45 port for physical Ethernet cable termination. A front-facing four-character scrolling LED display provides immediate module status and diagnostic codes. The module draws 800 mA at 5V DC and 3 mA at 24V DC from the backplane. It withstands an operating shock of 30 G and a non-operating shock of 50 G. The operational temperature spans 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Storage temperature limits range from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.
