Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Native CompactLogix Integration: Mounts directly in the CompactLogix backplane — no external power supply, no DIN-rail gateway, no additional wiring. Reduces panel footprint and installation time.
- Dual Ethernet Ports: Supports daisy-chain or ring topologies for network redundancy, critical in substation and utility environments where uptime is non-negotiable.
- Up to 4 Simultaneous Client Connections: Allows multiple SCADA masters, HMI systems, or historian servers to poll the same module concurrently — ideal for multi-tier SCADA architectures.
- 5,000 Data Point Capacity: Handles large I/O maps typical of substation automation without requiring multiple modules or complex data segmentation.
- Free Configuration Software: ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a graphical interface for mapping PLC tags to IEC 104 information objects — no custom ladder logic required for protocol configuration.
- Proven IEC 60870-5-104 Compliance: Fully implements the IEC 104 application layer including spontaneous transmission, general interrogation, clock synchronization, and command handling.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the MVI69-104S act as both IEC 104 server and client simultaneously?
A: No. The MVI69-104S is a dedicated server (slave) module. For client (master) functionality, use the ProSoft MVI69-104C.
Q: How many SCADA masters can connect to the MVI69-104S at the same time?
A: Up to 4 simultaneous TCP/IP client connections are supported, allowing multiple SCADA systems or historians to poll the module concurrently.
Q: Is the MVI69-104S compatible with ControlLogix (1756 chassis)?
A: No. For ControlLogix, use the ProSoft MVI56-104S. The MVI69-104S is designed exclusively for the CompactLogix (1769) and MicroLogix 1500 platforms.
Q: Does the module support IEC 60870-5-104 spontaneous transmission (Class 1 data)?
A: Yes. The module supports spontaneous (event-driven) transmission, general interrogation, clock synchronization, and command processing per the IEC 104 standard.
Q: What configuration software is required?
A: ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) is used for module configuration and is available as a free download from the ProSoft Technology website. Studio 5000 is required for PLC-side tag mapping.
Q: Can this module be used in a redundant network topology?
A: Yes. The dual Ethernet ports support daisy-chain and ring topologies, enabling network-level redundancy for high-availability applications.
