Prosoft MVI69-DFNT EtherNet/IP Client/Server Communication Module for CompactLogix

The MVI69 EtherNet/IP™ Client/server Communication Module allows CompactLogix™ /

MicroLogix™1500 LRP processors to interface easily with EtherNet/IP protocol compatible

devices and hosts. Devices commonly supporting the protocol include PLCs, PACs, field

devices, and host HMI systems.

The module can send read or write commands to remote devices on the EtherNet/IP

network. The module also has 20 servers that allow the module to receive commands from

remote devices. Up to 100 commands can be configured by the user. The Module provides

support for an Ethernet port to be used in applications requiring a separate or dedicated

network.

Features

Benefits

High Data Throughput

 High-speed data transfer between MVI69 module and CompactLogix / MicroLogix 1500 LRP

processor

 Installs as a generic 1769 module, sample ladder logic and AOI included

 View module data and status in RSLogix™ 5000 controller tags and UDTs

EtherNet/IP™ Client and Server

 Integrate with widely available Rockwell Automation and 3rd party products.

 Client/server Explicit Messaging communication supported

 20 server connections

 Client connection supporting 100 communication commands

In-chassis Solution

 Bridge to optimize data throughput while communicating with HMI or SCADA and other

control platforms without losing valuable process control bandwidth

Configuration

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a PC-based software configuration solution

for quick and easy management of module configuration files, as well as viewing

communication and network diagnostics. PCB is not only a powerful solution for new

configuration files, but also allows you to import information from previously installed

(known working) configurations into new projects.
