MVI56E-SIE Ethernet Communication Module

The MVI56E-SIE module from ProSoft Technology is a Siemens industrial Ethernet client communication

module that is made for ControlLogix systems. It allows ControlLogix PACs (programmable automation controllers)

to interface as Ethernet clients with up to 20 Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs which

are working as Ethernet servers. The module is certified by the RoHS, CE, and IECEx standards. The following components are

shipped with the MVI56E-SIE module: one 5-foot Ethernet cable (with straight-through configuration) and either a ProSoft

solutions CD or a ProSoft solutions DVD which contains the configuration tools for the module. The MVI56E-SIE module uses the

ProSoft Configuration builder for the management of configuration files through a graphic configuration tool and it also allows for viewing module diagnostics information.

MVI56E-SIE

The MVI56E-SIE module is a single-slot 1756 ControlLogix backplane compatible. The current load of the module is

800 milliamps at 5 Volts DC and 3 milliamps at 23 Volts DC. The module supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with auto

crossover detection. The Ethernet interface is the RJ-45 interface with LED indicators for links and activity. A 4-character,

alpha-numeric LED display on the module can be used for the display of status and diagnostics information. LED indicators are

also provided on the module for the display of the battery status, application status, and module status. The operating temperature

range for the MVI56E-SIE module is from 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and the storage temperature range is from -40 to 185 degrees

Fahrenheit. The vibration rating for the module is 5 G from 10 Hertz to 150 Hertz. The operating shock rating is 30 G.
