4.1 Product Specifications
The MVI56E-DNPNET (DNP3 Ethernet Client/Server Communication Module) allows
Rockwell Automation ControlLogix I/O compatible processors to interface easily with other
DNP3 Ethernet protocol compatible devices. The module supports DNP3 Ethernet Subset
Level 2 features and some of the Level 3 features.
The module acts as an input/output communications module between the DNP3 Ethernet
network and the ControlLogix backplane. The data transfer from the ControlLogix processor
is asynchronous from the actions on the DNP3 Ethernet network. Databases are user-
defined and stored in the module to hold the data required by the protocol.
This product features:

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB): Microsoft Windows ® -based utility software for
diagnostics. Connect through the module's Ethernet port or use CIPconnect ® to access
troubleshooting features and functions.
 ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS): New Windows-based utility software to find and
display a list of MVI56E modules on the network and to temporarily change a module's
IP address to be able to connect with a module's web page.
 CIPconnect-enabled: Allows PC-to-module diagnostics from the Ethernet network
through a ControlLogix ® 1756-ENxT EtherNet/IP™ module.
 Personality Card: An industrial-grade compact flash memory card storing the module’s
Ethernet settings, allowing quick and easy replacement.
 LED Scrolling Diagnostic Display: 4-character, alphanumeric display, providing
messages for status and alarm data, and for processor and network communication
status.
