Prosoft MVI56E-MNETXT

Description

To get the most benefit from this User Manual, you should have the following skills:
• Rockwell Automation® RSLogix™ software: launch the program, configure ladder
logic, and transfer the ladder logic to the processor
• Microsoft Windows: install and launch programs, execute menu commands,
navigate dialog boxes, and enter data
• Hardware installation and wiring: install the module, and safely connect Modbus
TCP/IP and ControlLogix devices to a power source and to the MVI56E-MNET
module’s application port(s)
1.1 What’s New?
MVI56E products are backward compatible with existing MVI56 products, ladder logic,
and module configuration files already in use. Easily swap and upgrade products while
benefiting from an array of new features designed to improve interoperability and
enhance ease of use.
• ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB): New Windows software for diagnostics,
connecting via the module’s Ethernet port or CIPconnect®
, to upload/download
module configuration information and access troubleshooting features and functions.
• ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS): Utility software to find and display a list of
MVI56E modules on the network and to temporarily change an IP address to connect
with a module’s web page.
• CIPconnect-enabled: Allows PC-to-module configuration and diagnostics from the
Ethernet network through a ControlLogix 1756-ENBT EtherNet/IP™ module.
• Personality Module: An industrial compact flash memory card storing the module’s
complete configuration and Ethernet settings, allowing quick and easy replacement.
• LED Scrolling Diagnostic Display: 4-character, alphanumeric display, providing
standard English messages for status and alarm data, and for processor and
network communication status.
• XT series for Extreme Environments: The MVI56E-MNETXT is part of the new XT
series, designed to work at extreme temperatures and in harsh or caustic
environments. XT series modules operate over a wider temperature range than the
standard MVI56E series. The XT series also comes with conformal coating to protect
module components from corrosive environmental elements.
