Siemens Industrial Ethernet Communication Module

MVI56E-SIE

The MVI56E-SIE Siemens Industrial Ethernet Communication Module allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to interface easily as an Ethernet Client with up to a maximum of 20 Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs operating as Ethernet servers.

The module uses ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) which provides a graphical configuration tool for management of module configuration files, as well as viewing communication and module diagnostic information using the high-speed Ethernet port. 

Commands are enabled/disabled from ladder logic enabling various Siemens S7 CPUs to support multiple applications without having to reconfigure the module. Data transfer to a ControlLogix ® PAC uses scheduled I/O data for faster updates and better performance.

Features and Benefits

  • 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 5000 16-bit registers
  • CIPconnect-enabled network configuration and diagnostics monitoring using ControlLogix 1756-ENxT and 1756-CNB modules and EtherNet/IP pass-through communication
  • 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
  • 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, allowing quick in-the-field product replacement by transferring the CF card
