The MVI46 Modbus Plus Dual Port Network Interface Module allow Rockwell Automation SLC processors to connect directly on Modbus Plus networks as a peer. The module acts as an input/output module between the Modbus Plus network and the processor. Compatible devices can be found in most industries and include devices such as drives, relays and power monitor hardware.

- Compatible devices include not only Modicon PLCs (most of which support the Modbus Plus protocol) but also a wide assortment of end devices licensed through the ModConnect Program
- The MVI46-MBP module acts as an input/output module between the Modbus Plus network and the Rockwell Automation backplane
- The data transfer from the SLC processor is asynchronous from the actions on the Modbus Plus network
- A 4000-word register space in the module exchanges data between the processor and the Modbus Plus network
- These modules allow Rockwell Automation platforms to connect directly on Modbus Plus networks as a peer. In addition, the modules act as slaves to processors that must read/write data from the module's memory
- Crossing all industrial boundaries, potential applications include the connection of Rockwell Automation processors to Modicon processors, and the connection of Modbus Plus-speaking devices, such as drives, relays, and power monitor hardware, to the Rockwell Automation backplanes
- 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
- Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to module
