Technical Specifications & Selection Guide

Use the table below to confirm compatibility before ordering. The full model number must be referenced in your purchase order to ensure correct fulfillment.

| Specification | Value | |—|—| | Full Model Number | MVI56E-MNETCR | | Manufacturer | ProSoft Technology | | Protocol | Modbus TCP/IP (Client + Server) | | Platform | Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 1756 | | Ethernet Interface | 10/100 Mbps, RJ45, Auto-Negotiation | | Max TCP/IP Sessions | 16 Simultaneous Connections | | Operating Temperature | 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) | | Power Supply | 5V DC @ 800mA (Backplane) | | Certifications | UL, cUL, CE | | Product Status | 100% Original and Brand New | | Warranty | 1 Year |

Selection Note: If your application requires Modbus RTU serial communication rather than Ethernet TCP/IP, consider the ProSoft MVI56E-MCM. For a client-only Modbus TCP/IP solution, the MVI56E-MNETC is an alternative. The MVI56E-MNETCR is the correct choice when both client and server roles must operate concurrently within a single ControlLogix chassis slot.

Core Features & Technical Advantages

Dual Client/Server Architecture — Operates as Modbus TCP/IP client and server simultaneously; no additional gateway hardware required.
High-Density Connectivity — Supports up to 16 concurrent TCP/IP sessions for robust multi-device polling in large-scale PLC System networks.
Precision Backplane Integration — Heavy-duty backplane interface engineered for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 1756 chassis; hot-swap capable in supported configurations.
Built-In Diagnostics — Onboard LED status indicators and ProSoft Configuration Builder software accelerate commissioning and fault isolation.
Industrial Automation Ready — Certified UL/cUL/CE; designed for continuous operation in harsh industrial environments including Oil & Gas, Power Generation, and Water Treatment.
EOL Legacy System Support — Bridges end-of-life Modbus RTU/TCP field devices into modern ControlLogix architectures, extending asset life without full system replacement.

Typical Application Scenarios

✅ Oil & Gas Upstream & Midstream: Field instrumentation — pressure transmitters, flow computers, RTUs — commonly use Modbus TCP/IP as their native protocol. The MVI56E-MNETCR enables ControlLogix-based safety and control systems to poll these devices directly, eliminating the need for third-party protocol converters and reducing single points of failure in SIS architectures.

Power Plants & Utilities: Energy metering systems, transformer protection relays, and grid-tie inverters frequently expose Modbus TCP/IP interfaces. Procurement managers at power utilities rely on the MVI56E-MNETCR to aggregate real-time energy data into ControlLogix-based SCADA platforms for centralized monitoring and regulatory compliance reporting.

✅ Water & Wastewater Treatment: Variable frequency drives, chemical dosing pumps, and level sensors in water treatment facilities are routinely Modbus-enabled. The MVI56E-MNETCR’s server capability allows SCADA systems to write setpoints directly to ControlLogix, while the client function simultaneously reads process values from distributed field devices.

✅ Automotive & Discrete Manufacturing: Assembly line robots, vision systems, and conveyor drives from multiple vendors are integrated into a unified ControlLogix Control Module environment using the MVI56E-MNETCR, reducing engineering hours and simplifying HMI data mapping across the production floor.

✅ Pharmaceutical & Food Processing: Batch control systems requiring FDA 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails benefit from the MVI56E-MNETCR’s deterministic data exchange, ensuring that Modbus-connected sensors and actuators report accurately into the ControlLogix historian for compliance documentation.
