Prosoft Network Interface Module MVI56E-MNETC
When you need Modbus® TCP/IP communications, the MVI56E- MNETC/MNETCXT is the module of choice. The Modbus TCP/IP Enhanced Communications Module allows Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® Programmable 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 providing the ability to communicate with other DCS and SCADA systems. Both client and server functionality can run simultaneously, allowing the module to operate as a powerful data concentrator.
The MVI56E-MNETC and MVI56E-MNETCXT are functionally the same. The MVI56E-MNETC is designed for standard process applications. The MVI56E- MNETCXT is designed for the Logix-XT™ control platform, allowing it to operate in extreme environments. It tolerates higher operating temperatures, and has a conformal coating to protect it from harsh or caustic conditions.
MVI56E enhancements include configuration and management through the module’s Ethernet port, and CIPconnect® technology for bridging though ControlNet™ and EtherNet/IP™ networks.

Features and Benefits
Supports up to 30 Clients and 20 servers
- Faster response for multi-server applications
- Minimizes impact to other server communications when one server device goes offline
- Server capability provides access for HMIs, SCADA or DCS systems
RSLogix™ 5000 Integrated
- The module communication is integrated with RSLogix 5000 using a supplied Add-On Instruction (AOI) or ladder file
- No additional PAC/PLC programming required
Enable/disable commands easily from ladder logic
- Programmatically enable various networked devices and their functions to support multiple applications or recipes, without having to reconfigure the module
Remotely configure and diagnose problems
- Easy-to-use Windows-based configuration software connects through remote racks using EtherNet/IP and/or ControlNet via a 1756-ENxT and/or 1756-CNB interface module without requiring RSLinx, saving you money
- Allows support of IT and Automation network segmentation
MVI56 backward compatible
- Assists in extending current MVI56 applications by using newer technology that supports existing MVI56 ladder logic and module configuration
