Description

The MVI56E-MNETR is a server-enhanced network interface module manufactured by ProSoft and Allen-Bradley. The ProSoft MVI56E-MNETR Network Interface Module belongs to the ProSoft Series of network interface modules. The ProSoft MVI56E-MNETR Network Interface Module features the remote rack type, a single-slot ControlLogix backplane, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet configuration, 100 maximum client connection commands, and 16-bit registers CIP-connect-enabled network configuration. 

The ProSoft MVI56E-MNETR Network Interface Module utilizes a minimized input or output data image size for data transfer between itself and the ControlLogix processor; making the ProSoft MVI56E-MNETR Network Interface Module suitable for remote rack applications by using the EtherNet/IP process or ControlNet networks. The ProSoft MVI56E-MNETR Network Interface Module is also applicable in applications which need redundant ControlLogix processors. 

The ProSoft MVI56E-MNETR Network Interface Module is located by ProSoft Configuration Builder via the UDP broadcast messages. The UDP broadcast messages could be blocked by the layer 3 switch or the router. In that circumstance, the ProSoft Discovery Service will experience difficulties in locating the ProSoft MVI56E-MNETR Network Interface Module. To make use of the ProSoft Configuration Builder; the users should arrange the Ethernet connection properly so that no router or layer 3 switch is in-between the module and computer.

Overview Manuals Application Notes Product Applications Physical Connections

Features:

  • ControlLogix in-chassis Modbus TCP/IP gateway
  • Supports Client and Server (Master/Slave) modes simultaneously
  • Reduced I/O data block for efficient controller communication
  • Configured via ProSoft Configuration Builder + AOI in Studio 5000
  • Supports remote rack and redundant PLC architectures
The MVI56E-MNETR is a ControlLogix Enhanced Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module with Reduced Data Block for Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). The MVI56E-MNETR allows ControlLogix processors to interface easily with Modbus TCP/IP-compatible devices, including Modicon PACs and a wide variety of instruments and devices that use the Modbus TCP/IP protocol.

The MVI56E-MNETR is distinguished by its reduced I/O data image block size, which optimizes communication bandwidth when transferring data between the module and a ControlLogix processor. The MVI56E-MNETR is specifically designed for remote rack installations where the module is connected to the processor via ControlNet or EtherNet/IP networks. The MVI56E-MNETR also works well for applications that require redundant ControlLogix processors, where minimizing backplane data transfer is critical for system performance.

The MVI56E-MNETR Prosoft ControlLogix Enhanced Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module withReduced Data Block may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Prosoft MVI56E-MNETR ControlLogix Enhanced Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module withReduced Data Block Manuals, Datasheets, Drivers, Link Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Configuration is performed using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB), a Windows-based graphical user interface providing online or offline configuration and online diagnostics. CIPconnect technology enables remote configuration and diagnostic access across multiple bridged EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networks using Rockwell Automation 1756-ENxT and 1756-CNB modules. The built-in Ethernet port hosts a web server for local access to documentation, module status, and firmware updates. ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) locates modules on the network and assigns temporary IP addresses for easy configuration.
The module features a 4-character alphanumeric scrolling LED display that shows status and diagnostic information in plain English, eliminating cryptic error codes. LED indicators include Application Status (APP), Module Status (OK), and Ethernet Link/Activity. An industrial-grade CompactFlash card acts as a personality module, storing all network and module configuration data for quick field replacement by transferring the CF card to a spare module.
  • Remote I/O/Distributed Control: Installs Modbus TCP in remote racks to reduce backplane bandwidth consumption over ControlNet/EtherNet/IP
  • SCADA/DCS Integration: Data concentrator bridging Allen-Bradley to SCADA/DCS via Modbus TCP with client/server capabilities
  • Substation/Power Monitoring: Collects telemetry from relays, meters, and IEDs not natively pollable by Rockwell processors
  • Water/Wastewater: Integrates remote Modicon PACs, flowmeters, and dosing systems to central control
  • Oil/Gas Sites: Pools data from flow computers, RTUs, and gas chromatographs into ControlLogix on offshore platforms/well pads

Ethernet Connection: Connect an RJ45 Ethernet patch cable from the module’s top Ethernet port (E1 / P1) to your Modbus TCP/IP network switch or target device. The port supports Auto MDI-X, so both standard and crossover cables work.
Configuration / Debug Port: Connect via the front configuration port using the provided cable to your PC when performing initial diagnostics or firmware updates.

Technical notes

The MVI56E-MNETR draws 800 mA at 5 V DC and 3 mA at 24 V DC from the ControlLogix backplane. It operates from 0°C to +60°C and stores safely from -40°C to +85°C at 5% to 95% relative humidity non-condensing. The module withstands 30 g operational shock, 50 g non-operational shock, and 5 g vibration from 10 Hz to 150 Hz.

FAQs

  • What is the MVI56E-MNETR?

    +
    The ProSoft MVI56E-MNETR is an in-chassis module that allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix processors to communicate with Modbus TCP/IP devices
  • What is the benefit of the R in MVI56E-MNETR?

    +
    The
  • Can this module be installed in a remote I/O chassis?

    +
    Yes. Because of its reduced data block size, it is specifically designed to safely fit within the tight bandwidth constraints of remote racks linked via ControlNet or EtherNet/IP without overloading the network adapter.
  • Where is the module configuration file saved?

    +
    The configuration parameters are stored directly on the CompactFlash (CF) card inside the module. If a module physically fails in the field, you can pull the CF card, insert it into a spare module, and resume operations without needing a PC download.
