ProSoft Technology | MVI46-MNET | SLC 500 Modbus TCP/IP Interface Module

Product Description

The MVI46-MNET Modbus TCP/IP Interface Module provides Rockwell Automation’s SLC 500 processors with direct connectivity to Modbus TCP/IP networks. Designed as a single-slot solution, the module acts as an input/output interface between the SLC backplane and Modbus TCP/IP devices, ensuring reliable data exchange. It supports asynchronous data transfer, allowing processor operations to continue independently of network activity. With a 5,000-word register space and configurable parameters, the MVI46-MNET is a robust solution for industrial Ethernet communication.
