5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI56 IEC 60870-5-101 Slave Communication Module allows Rockwell
Automation ControlLogix processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-101
protocol compatible hosts.
The MVI56-101S module is the fastest and easiest way to add IEC 60870-5-101
protocol interface support to the ControlLogix processor platform. It is a single-
slot, backplane compatible solution. It also has two powerful and highly
configurable redundant IEC 60870-5-101 slave ports, allowing the many SCADA
and field devices supporting the IEC protocol to be integrated into the
ControlLogix processor platform.
The standards used in developing the product are listed in the following table.
