Features and Benefits

Configuration

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a graphical configuration tool for quick and easy management of module configuration files, as well as viewing module diagnostic information.

Route connections over multiple EtherNet/IP or ControlNet paths allow you to manage the module from remote locations.
The MVI56E-MNETC/MNETCXT User Manual, with the sample configuration, provides step-by-step instructions on how to move data through the module from the Modbus TCP/IP network to the processor.

Specifications

• Backward compatible with previous MVI56-MNETC versions
• Single-slot 1756 ControlLogix backplane compatible
• 10/100 Mbps auto crossover detection Ethernet configuration and application port
• User-definable module data memory mapping of up to 10,000 16-bit registers
• CIPconnect-enabled network configuration and diagnostics monitoring using ControlLogix 1756-ENxT and 1756-CNB modules
• ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software supported, a Windows-based graphical user interface providing simple product and network configuration
• Sample ladder logic and Add-On Instructions (AOI) are used for data transfer between module and processor
• 4-character, alpha-numeric, scrolling LED display of status and diagnostics data in plain English – no cryptic error or alarm codes to decipher
• ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) software used to locate the module on the network and assign temporary IP address
• Personality Module - a non-volatile industrial-grade Compact Flash (CF) card used to store network and module configuration for easy disaster recovery, allowing quick in-the-field product replacement by transferring the CF card

Modbus TCP/IP Specifications

• ProSoft Technology’s Modbus TCP/IP implementation (MNETC) includes both client (master) and server (slave) capabilities

Modbus TCP/IP Server (Slave)

• Supports ten independent server connections for Service Port 502 (MBAP)
• Supports ten independent server connections for Service Port 2000 (Encapsulated)
• Accepts Modbus Function Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16, 17, 22 and 23
• Module data can be derived from other Modbus server devices on the network through the Client or from the ControlLogix processor

Modbus TCP/IP Client (Master)

• Offers 30 Client connections with up to 16 commands each to talk to multiple servers
• Actively reads data from and writes data to Modbus TCP/IP devices, using MBAP or Encapsulated Modbus message formats
• Transmits Modbus Function Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, and 16
• ControlLogix processor can be programmed to use special functions to control the activity on the Client by actively selecting commands to execute from the command list (Command Control) or by issuing commands directly from the ladder logic (Event Commands)

Status Data

• Error codes, counters, and module status available from module memory through the server, through the Client, or through the ladder logic and controller tags in RSLogix™ 5000

Functional Specifications

• Modbus data types overlap in the module's memory database, so the same data can be conveniently read or written as bit-level or register-level data.
• Configurable floating-point data movement is supported, including support for Enron or Daniel® floating-point formats
• Special functions (Event Commands, Command Control, status, etc.) are supported by message transfer (unscheduled) using the MSG instruction
• Configurable parameters for the Client including a minimum response delay of 0 to 65535 ms and floating-point support
