FL-Net Network Interface Module for CompactLogix
MVI69-FLN
The MVI69-FLN FA Control Network Communication Module is a single slot solution that allows Rockwell Automation CompactLogix / MicroLogix I/O compatible processors to easily interface with other FL-net protocol compatible devices. The module implements FL-net version 2.00 (OPCN-2) defined by JEMA (The Japan Electrical Manufacturers Association) for the standard FA control network. FL-net is a master-less system.
The MVI69-FLN module acts as a gateway between the FL-net network and the CompactLogix / MicroLogix backplane. The data transfer from the CompactLogix / MicroLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the FL-net network. The module's internal database can be used to exchange Area 1 and Area 2 cyclic, network, and module status data between the processor and the FL-net network.
