PROSOFT    MVI56E-FLN   FA Control Network EnhancedCommunication Module

The FA Control Network Enhanced Communication Module is a single slot solution that allows ControlLogix® compatible processors to easily interface with other FL-net protocol compatible devices. The module is certified for use with the standard FA control network (FL-net version 2.00; OPCN-2), as defined by the Japan Electrical Manufacturers Association (JEMA).

The FA control network module acts as a gateway between the FL-net network and the ControlLogix backplane. The data transfer from the ControlLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the FL-net network.

The module accepts commands to control and monitor the data stored in the FL-net databases. This data is passed between the module and the ControlLogix processor over the backplane for use in automated process and control applications.
