4.11  Verifying Communication 

There are several ways to verify that the MVI56E-MNETC module is 
communicating with the processor and with the Modbus TCP/IP Client network. 
You can:  

  View Exchanged Data 

  View the Module Status in the RSLogix 5000 Controller Tags 

  View the LED Status Indicators 

 

4.11.1 Viewing Exchanged Data 

The following illustration describes the source and destination for the data 
exchanged by the two Modbus TCP/IP Client Commands.
