The MVI56-FLN FA Control Network Communication Module is a single slot solution that allows Rockwell Automation ControlLogix 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 and is specified for a 50 ms cycle time for 32 nodes (with 2kbit + 2kWord cyclic data in total) and up to 254 nodes can be addressed.
The MVI56-FLN module acts as a gateway between the FL-net network and the Allen-Bradley backplane. The data transfer from the ControlLogix processor is asynchronous from the actions on the FL-net network. The module's internal database can be used to exchangeup to 512 words of Area 1 cyclic data, and 8192 words of Area 2 cyclic data between the processor and the FL-net network.
