ProSoft Technology MVI56E-MCM Network Interface Module, Modbus® Master/Slave Protocol, 5/24 VDC, RJ45 Ethernet/RS232/RS485/RS422 Module Interface

The MVI56E communication module allows for Modbus® master and/or slave connectivity from Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors to Modbus® RTU/ASCII devices. Each MVI56E port can be configured as a Master or Slave. The MVI56E-MCM and MVI56E-MCMXT act as input/output modules on the ControlLogix® backplane, making Modbus® data appear as I/O data to the processor. Two independently configurable serial ports can operate on the same or different Modbus® networks. The MVI56E-MCM is designed for standard process applications and the MVI56E-MCMXT is designed for the Logix-XT™ control platform, allowing it to operate in extreme environments. It can tolerate higher operating temperatures and has conformal coating to protect it from harsh or caustic conditions.
