The MVI56E-MCMR Enhanced Modbus Master/Slave Communication Module with Reduced Data Block allows Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® processors to easily interface with devices using the Modbus RTU/ASCII serial communications protocol. Compatible devices include a wide variety of instruments, process measurement devices, popular brands of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs).
The MVI56E-MCMR acts as an input/output module on the ControlLogix backplane, making Modbus data appear as I/O data to the processor. Backplane data transfers to and from the processor are asynchronous from communications on the Modbus network. Two independently-configurable serial ports can operate on the same or different Modbus networks. Each port can be configured as a Modbus Master or Slave, sharing the same user-controlled 5000-word database.
The MVI56E-MCMR utilizes a reduced Input/Output (I/O) data block for transferring data to and from a ControlLogix processor. This reduced data block makes it ideal for use in remote rack applications over ControlNet™. For EtherNet/IP™ applications where bandwidth is not an issue, it is strongly recommended to use the MVI56E- MCM.

"Fast service for obsolete parts"
Increasingly PLC/ HMI control platforms are becoming obsolete and parts are no longer supported, however PLC Direct had the HMI we needed and fast shipping for our system to get back online!
"Helping us move projects forward"
With supply chain issues increasingly affecting our business, PLC Direct has been there for us to supply the PLC products we need, when we need it. If they don't have it readily available, they find it and provide it quickly and reliably. This has helped us move forward with several projects that would have otherwise taken us many, many months to complete.
