Backward-Compatible

• Upgrade earlier MVI56-MNETR modules without changing existing ladder logic programs or module configurations
• Enhanced features and flexibility without incurring expensive reprogramming costs

RSLogix 5000 Integrated

• Module communication is integrated within RSLogix 5000 using a sample Add-On Instruction (AOI) or sample ladder logic file
• No additional programming and/or configuration software are required

Reduced Input/Output Image Size

• Uses less bandwidth on process control networks like ControlNet or EtherNet/IP
• Optimizes communication for more efficient remote rack installations, especially when using redundant ControlLogix processors

Graphical User Interface Software

• ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides online or offline configuration and online diagnostics using the high-speed Ethernet port
• CIPconnect-enabled, allows remote configuration and diagnostic access across multiple bridged EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networks using Rockwell Automation 1756-ENxT and 1756-CNB network interface modules

Web-enabled Ethernet port with Discovery Service

• Module's built-in Ethernet port provides a web server for local access to documentation, module status, and firmware updates
• ProSoft Discovery Service, a software utility to locate MVI56E modules on the network and assign a temporary IP address for easy configuration
