Description
PROSOFT MVI56E-SIE Ethernet Communication Module Display Screen

MVI56E-SIE
The MVI56E-SIE is engineered to handle both cyclic and acyclic data exchange, supporting real-time control commands and non-periodic parameter adjustments. Its 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port with auto-crossover detection ensures reliable communication, while the ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a graphical interface for intuitive setup and diagnostics. With 5000 user-definable 16-bit registers for data mapping and CIP Connect compatibility, the module simplifies network management and remote diagnostics, even across multi-segmented Ethernet/IP networks.

MVI56E-SIE
The MVI56E-SIE stands out for its plug-and-play simplicity and robust performance. Its 4-character alphanumeric LED display provides real-time status updates, while the ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) simplifies network discovery and IP address assignment. By leveraging scheduled I/O data transfer, it achieves faster update rates compared to traditional mailbox communication, critical for applications like robotics and precision manufacturing where latency is intolerable.

MVI56E-SIE
Durability is a cornerstone of its design. The module withstands 5g vibration (10–150 Hz) and 30g operational shocks, ensuring stability in harsh environments like chemical plants or power generation facilities. Its industrial-grade CF card stores configuration data, enabling rapid field replacement without reconfiguring the entire network. For engineers, the Sample Ladder Logic and Add-On Instructions (AOIs) reduce development time by providing pre-built code for data exchange with ControlLogix processors.
