MVI69E-MBTCP  Modbus TCP/IP Enhanced Communication Module

To get the most benefit from this User Manual, you should have the following skills:
• Studio 5000 Logix Designer ®
: launch the program, configure ladder logic, and transfer the ladder logic to the processor
• Microsoft Windows: install and launch programs, execute menu commands, navigate dialog boxes, and enter data
• Hardware installation and wiring: install the module, and safely connect Modbus and CompactLogix devices to a power source and to the MVI69E-MBTCP module’s Ethernet port
1.1 System Requirements
The MVI69E-MBTCP module requires the following minimum hardware and software components:
• Rockwell Automation CompactLogix® processor (firmware version 10 or higher), with compatible power supply and one free slot in the rack, for the MVI69E-MBTCP module.

Before you begin to configure the module, consider the following questions. Your answers will help you determine the scope of your project, and the configuration requirements for a successful deployment.
• Are you creating a new application or integrating the module into an existing application?
Most applications can use the Sample Add-On Instruction or Sample Ladder Logic without any modification.
• Which slot number in the chassis does the MVI69E-MBTCP module occupy?
For communication to occur, you must enter the correct slot number in the sample program.
• Are the Studio 5000 and RSLinx software installed? RSLogix and RSLinx are required to communicate to the CompactLogix processor.
• How many words of data do you need to transfer in your application (from CompactLogix to Module / to CompactLogix from Module)?
• Is this module replacing an existing legacy MVI69-MNET module (refer to section Legacy Mode on page 83)
