The Ethernet/IP Client/Server Network Interface Module allows SLC processors to interface with Ethernet/IP protocol (Explicit Messaging) compatible devices and hosts. The SLC 5/05 with the MVI46-DFNT module provides a second Ethernet/IP port to a separate subnet for communicating with a HMI or SCADA host. For other SLC processors the module provides a serial pass-thru channel 0 service for remote Ethernet programming and troubleshooting.

- The MVI46-DFNT module is a single slot solution that provides a powerful connection between Rockwell Automation's SLC processor and EtherNet/IP (DF1 for Ethernet) network applications
- The module can send read or write commands to remote devices on the EtherNet/IP network
- The MVI46-DFNT also has 20 servers that allow the module to receive commands from remote devices
- The MVI46-DFNT Pass-Through server allows the user to edit and transfer the SLC ladder logic using an Ethernet connection
- Up to 100 commands can be configured by the user
- Single Slot - 1746 backplane compatible (Local or extended I/O rack only. Remote rack not supported)
- The module is recognized as an input/output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor and module using M0/M1 files
- Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor
- Sample ladder file included
- Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to module
- Sample configuration file included
- Rockwell Automation 5/02/03/04 processors with DH-485 or DH+ network connections to co-exist with EtherNet/IP network
- SLC 5/05 in-chassis EtherNet/IP bridge to optimize data throughput while communicating with MMI or SCADA and other control platforms without losing valuable process control bandwidth
- Support of up to 4000 SLC registers user data files
- User-definable module memory usage
- 10/100 MB Ethernet compatible interface
- Functions as a server or a client
- Support for SLC processor programming over Ethernet using a TCP/IP service and a serial port on the module connected to channel 0 of the processor
- The module's third port emulates Channel 0 of the processor to pass through messages from the port to the processor
- Status data available in ladder logic
