Product Specifications

The MVI56E Modbus TCP/IP Client Enhanced Communication Module -
Client/Server allows Rockwell Automation
Automation Controllers (PACs) to interface easily with Modicon Programmable
Automation Controller (PACs) , as well as multiple Modbus TCP/IP server-
compatible instruments and devices. The multi-Client module improves
performance when controlling multiple servers on a Modbus TCP/IP network, by
supporting up to 30 Clients. It also supports up to 20 server connections (10
MNET, 10 MBAP).
MVI56E enhancements include configuration and management through the
module's Ethernet port, and CIPconnect
ControlNet™ and EtherNet/IP™ networks.
