MVI69L-MBTCP | ProSoft Modbus TCP/IP Lite Communication Module

Product Overview

The ProSoft MVI69L-MBTCP is a Modbus TCP/IP Lite Communication Module specifically designed for smaller applications utilizing CompactLogix L2 controllers. It features an Add-on Profile (AOP) and Add-on Instruction (AOI) to reduce commissioning time, making it the fastest way to add Modbus TCP/IP Client and Server connectivity to CompactLogix systems. The module has a single Ethernet port for both diagnostic and application data.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between MVI69L-MBTCP and MVI69-MBTCP?
A: MVI69L-MBTCP is the "Lite" version optimized for CompactLogix L2 controllers with simplified configuration.

Q: Does it support full CompactLogix processors?
A: It is designed for L2 controllers. For full CompactLogix, consider MVI69-MBTCP or MVI69E-MBTCP.

Model Selection Tips

• MVI69L-MBTCP = Modbus TCP/IP Lite for CompactLogix L2
• For full CompactLogix, use MVI69-MBTCP
• For ControlLogix, use MVI56E-MNETC
