DATASHEET

Modbus TCP/IP
Communication Module for
CompactLogix®
MVI69-MNET

The inRAx Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module is designed to allow

CompactLogix® /MicroLogix® processors to interface with other Modbus
TCP/IP protocol-compatible devices, including not only Modicon®
processors, but also a wide variety of other Client and server devices.

The MVI69-MNET module is a single-slot solution that provides a

powerful connection between Rockwell Automation® CompactLogix
processors and Modbus TCP/IP network applications. The Modbus
TCP/IP network applications include those networks hosted by Modicon
Quantum processors, networks controlled by operator interface software
applications, and the growing number of manufactured devices that
support this protocol.

The module acts as an input/output module between the Modbus TCP/IP

network and the CompactLogix backplane. The data transfer from the
processor is asynchronous from the actions on the Modbus TCP/IP
network. A 5000 16-bit register data space in the module exchanges data
between the processor and the Modbus TCP/IP network.

Features

 Support for the storage and transfer of up to 5000 registers to/from the PLC processor using the block transfer interface
 User-definable module memory usage
 10/100 Base-T Ethernet-compatible interface
 All data mapping begins at Modbus register 40001
 Configurable parameters for the Client, including a minimum response delay of 0 to 65535 milliseconds

®
Floating-point support for Enron, Daniels , and other floating-point data types
 Single-Slot, 1769 backplane-compatible
 The module is recognized as an Input/Output module and has access to processor memory for data transfer between processor
and module.
 Ladder Logic is used for data transfer between module and processor. Sample ladder file included.
 Configuration data obtained from configuration text file downloaded to module. Sample configuration file included.
 Supports all CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 LRP Controllers except 1769-QBFC1B, 1769-L16x, and 1769-L18x.
Modbus TCP/IP Server Protocol Specifications
The server driver supports connections to up to five Modbus TCP/IP Clients using
Service Port 502 with standard MBAP messaging, and up to five Clients using Modbus
RTU/ASCII on Service Port 2000 (and others).

Modbus TCP/IP Client Protocol Specifications

The Client driver supports the active reading and writing of data with Modbus TCP/IP
compatible devices.
This one Client supports up to 100 commands, which can be addressed to one or more Where Automation
servers. Connects™
