Modbus TCP/IP
Communication Module
MVI69-MNET
The inRAx Modbus TCP/IP Communication Module is
designed to allow CompactLogix processors to interface
easily with other Modbus TCP/IP protocol-compatible
devices.
Compatible devices include not only Modicon processors
(which support the Modbus TCP/IP protocol) but also a
wide assortment of other clients and server devices.
