ProSoft Technology, a leading provider of industrial communications solutions, today announced the availability of its latest product, the MVI56E-MNET Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server Enhanced Network Interface Module. The introduction of this module marks another major advance in the data transmission and communication capabilities of industrial automation and control systems.

The MVI56E-MNET module is designed for the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix platform and enables the ControlLogix controller to easily communicate with other devices on the Modbus TCP/IP network. This module not only supports the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, can communicate with a variety of Modbus-enabled devices, including Modicon PLC, inverter, sensor, etc., but also provides a wealth of configuration options to meet different application needs.

The main features of this module include:

Backward compatibility: MVI56E-MNET is compatible with earlier versions of MVI56E-MNET modules, simplifying the process of upgrading from older versions without changing existing control logic or module configuration.
CIPconnect technology: Supports bridge over ControlNet and EtherNet/IP networks, allowing remote configuration and diagnostic access between multiple networks with Ethernet /IP and ControlNet via the 1756-ENxT and 1756-CNB network interface modules.
