5.1 Product Specifications
The MVI71 Generic ASCII Ethernet Interface module is designed to allow PLC
processors to interface easily with ASCII devices using the TCP/IP protocol.
Compatible devices may be either ASCII instruments with built-in Ethernet or
Ethernet connection via a thin server to the existing ASCII device.
Five servers and Clients are present on the module permitting both the reception
and transmission of data between the Rockwell Automation processor and attached
devices.
The MVI71-GEC module is a powerful communication interface for PLC processors.
Developed under license from Rockwell Automation, the module incorporates
proprietary backplane technology that enables powerful data access between the
module and the PLC processor.
