The MVI56 Modbus TCP/IP Client Communication Module with Reduced Data Block is designed to allow ControlLogix processors to interface easily with other Modbus TCP/IP protocol-compatible devices. Compatible devices include not only Modicon processors (which support the Modbus TCP/IP protocol) but also a wide assortment of other server devices. This module uses a small I/O data area for data transfer between the module and the ControlLogix processor, making it ideal for ControlNet or Ethernet applications with the module in a remote rack.
