4.1 Product Specifications
The MVI46 EtherNet/IP (DF1 for Ethernet) Client/Server Communication Module
is a Rockwell Automation SLC backplane compatible module that allows SLC
processors to interface easily with EtherNet/IP protocol (Explicit Messaging)
compatible devices and hosts. Devices commonly supporting the protocol include
Rockwell Automation PLCs, and host HMI systems.
The MVI46-DFNT module is a single slot solution that provides a powerful
connection between Rockwell Automation’s SLC processor and EtherNet/IP
(DF1 for Ethernet) network applications.
The module can send read or write commands to remote devices on the
EtherNet/IP network. The MVI46-DFNT also has 20 servers that allow the
module to receive commands from remote devices. The MVI46-DFNT Pass-
Through server allows the user to edit and transfer the SLC ladder logic using an
Ethernet connection. Up to 100 commands can be configured by the user.
