DeviceNet Automation Solution – ProSoft Technology MVI69-DFNT | MVI69 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The ProSoft MVI69-DFNT is deployed in industrial environments where a CompactLogix PLC must communicate with DeviceNet field devices. Typical application scenarios include:
- Automotive Assembly Lines — Connecting CompactLogix controllers to DeviceNet-enabled robots, welding guns, and conveyor drives for synchronized motion control.
- Food & Beverage Processing — Integrating variable frequency drives (VFDs), sensors, and actuators on a DeviceNet network managed by a CompactLogix PLC.
- Material Handling & Packaging — Coordinating DeviceNet barcode scanners, photoelectric sensors, and servo drives within a CompactLogix-based control architecture.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment — Bridging legacy DeviceNet pump controllers and valve actuators into modern EtherNet/IP-based SCADA systems via CompactLogix.
- Discrete Manufacturing — Enabling a single CompactLogix rack to act as DeviceNet Master, polling up to 63 slave nodes for real-time I/O data exchange.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Dual-Role Flexibility — Operates simultaneously as DeviceNet Master and Slave, eliminating the need for two separate gateway modules in complex topologies.
- In-Chassis Integration — Mounts directly in the CompactLogix 1769 local rack; no external power supply or DIN-rail gateway required, reducing panel footprint.
- Deterministic Data Exchange — Uses explicit and implicit messaging to deliver sub-millisecond I/O updates, critical for motion-sensitive applications.
- Free Configuration Software — ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a graphical node-mapping interface, cutting commissioning time significantly.
- Proven Field Reliability — MVI69 series modules are installed in tens of thousands of sites globally across automotive, oil & gas, and utilities sectors.
- Rockwell Ecosystem Compatible — Fully compatible with Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000 Add-On Instructions (AOI) for seamless ladder logic integration.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the MVI69-DFNT act as both Master and Slave on the same DeviceNet network simultaneously?
A: Yes. The module supports concurrent Master and Slave operation, allowing it to poll field devices while also responding to commands from an upstream DeviceNet scanner.
Q: Is the MVI69-DFNT compatible with Studio 5000 Logix Designer?
A: Yes. ProSoft provides Add-On Instructions (AOI) and sample ladder logic fully compatible with Studio 5000 v20 and later.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for a DeviceNet network using this module?
A: Thick trunk cable supports up to 500 m at 125 kbps. Thin cable supports up to 100 m. Drop lines are limited to 6 m each, with a cumulative drop limit of 156 m.
Q: Does this module require a separate 24 VDC power supply?
A: The module itself is powered from the CompactLogix backplane (5 VDC). However, the DeviceNet network requires a dedicated 24 VDC network power supply separate from the PLC power supply.
Q: Can I use this module with a MicroLogix or ControlLogix platform?
A: No. The MVI69 series is designed exclusively for the CompactLogix 1769 local I/O bus. For ControlLogix, specify the MVI56-DFNT; for MicroLogix, a different gateway solution is required.
