Overview
The MVI56E-MNETC module is a dedicated communication gateway engineered by ProSoft to enable seamless connectivity between ControlLogix processors and Modbus TCP/IP network devices. Beyond its native support for the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, it integrates bridging capabilities for Ethernet/IP and ControlNet, functioning as a reliable interoperability hub across multiple industrial communication protocols.
Technical Specifications
The module supports Modbus TCP/IP (in both client and server modes), alongside Ethernet/IP and ControlNet protocols, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of industrial network devices. It is fully optimized for use with Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix product line, featuring a standard Ethernet interface for network connection. Powered by 5V DC, it operates reliably across an extreme temperature range from -40℃ to +85℃, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. With compact dimensions measuring approximately 12.7 x 8.9 x 2.5 centimeters, it occupies minimal space within control cabinets.
Features
Multi-protocol bridging is a core strength of the MVI56E-MNETC, as it facilitates communication between Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP and ControlNet networks, significantly enhancing overall system interoperability. It supports both local and remote configuration, paired with robust diagnostic tools that streamline on-site maintenance and rapid troubleshooting. A built-in web server allows users to access module documentation and sample programs directly via a standard web browser, eliminating the need for specialized software for basic information retrieval. Designed for industrial durability, it includes a corrosion-resistant coating—an especially prominent feature in the MNETXT variant—enabling stable operation in extreme field conditions.
Structure & Composition
The core hardware component is the network interface module, which manages physical Ethernet connections and handles protocol processing tasks. The module comes preloaded with firmware that supports Modbus TCP/IP client and server functionalities, and detailed parameter configuration can be performed using the ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software. A dedicated backplane driver ensures high-speed data transmission between the MVI56E-MNETC and the ControlLogix processor, maintaining efficient data flow within the control system.
Applications
In industrial automation settings, the module serves as a critical link between PLCs and SCADA systems, enabling smooth data exchange between devices from different manufacturers. It is widely used for data acquisition and monitoring applications, connecting field devices such as sensors and meters to transmit real-time data to central control centers. Its remote configuration and diagnostic capabilities make it ideal for remote site monitoring and control, supporting cross-network device management for distributed industrial systems. The MVI56E-MNETC is also a trusted solution for device condition monitoring and process control in specific industries including hydropower, oil and gas, and discrete manufacturing.
Installation & Maintenance
Installing the MVI56E-MNETC is straightforward, as it can be directly inserted into a backplane slot of the ControlLogix processor without requiring additional wiring, minimizing installation time and complexity. For optimal performance, parameter configuration is recommended via the ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software, with configured settings downloaded to the module’s Compact Flash memory for secure storage. Maintenance is simplified through the module’s built-in remote diagnostic functions and web server, allowing technicians to perform troubleshooting and parameter adjustments remotely, which reduces the need for on-site visits and lowers overall maintenance costs.
