Product Introduction

The ProSoft MVI69-DFNT is an EtherNet/IP Client/Server communication module designed to provide seamless network connectivity for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 LRP processors. This module enables controllers to communicate efficiently with EtherNet/IP-compatible devices and host systems using explicit messaging.

Installed as a single-slot solution, the MVI69-DFNT acts as a bridge between the PLC backplane and Ethernet networks. It allows processors that do not natively support advanced Ethernet communication to integrate into modern industrial networks without requiring major system modifications.

The module features a dedicated configuration port and a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface, ensuring straightforward setup and stable communication performance. Its compatibility with a wide range of CompactLogix processors, including L20, L30, L31, L32, L35, L43, and L45 series, makes it a flexible and practical solution for upgrading existing automation systems.
