Hardware specifications The MVI46-MNET module was designed by ProSoft Technology and licensed to synthesize technology from Allen Bradley (SLC backplane technology). Current load: 800 mA @ 5V (from backplane) Operating temperature: 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) Storage temperature: -40 to 85 degrees Celsius (-40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit)
The MVI46-MNET is a module manufactured by Allen-Bradley's encompass partner company, ProSoft Technology. It is primarily used to enable MODBUS TCP I/P connectivity with SLC 5/02 M0/M1 or update processors.
The module supports both client and server functions and has configurable memory to support user customizable data mapping. This means that it can communicate with any MODBUS TCP-enabled device connected over the same network. In addition, it can further support integration with human machine interface (HMI) systems, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and distributed control systems (DCS).In terms of hardware configuration, the MVI46-MNET is equipped with a configuration port in the form of an RJ45 port that supports the RS232 standard without the need for a handshake. At the same time, it also has an RJ45 Ethernet port, which is used as the application port of the module. This module supports 10/100 Mbps transfer rates and has a dedicated link and active LED indicator. In terms of electrical isolation, it provides isolation of 1500 V rms at 50 Hz for 60 seconds. In addition, the module gets 4 watts of power from the backplane power supply.
The MVI46-MNET module has been rigorously tested and verified to have a high degree of reliability and stability, suitable for a variety of industrial environments, and is able to operate properly under harsh working conditions.
It is mainly used for communication and data exchange with Ethernet devices in the Allen Bradley ControlLogix PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system. Specifically, it supports client and server functions that can communicate with any MODBUS TCP-enabled device connected over the same network. In addition, the MVI46-MNET module further supports integration with Human Machine interface (HMI) systems, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and distributed control systems (DCS).
Therefore, the MVI46-MNET module is suitable for industrial automation and control scenarios that require Ethernet communication and data exchange, including but not limited to manufacturing, energy, transportation and other fields.
