USB communication module COMX 52CA-CCS

serialRS-485CC-Link

Product overview
The comX communication module integrates into automation devices to provide drives, robot controllers and PLCs with a network interface. Communication tasks run autonomously on the module, independent of the host processor.
Process data is exchanged via a dual-port memory (parallel 8/16-bit) or via a high-speed SPI interface (up to 50 MHz).
comX supports leading real-time Ethernet protocols as Master or Slave and allows protocol changes by loading appropriate firmware and licenses. Flexible network connector positioning is supported. A 10-year delivery guarantee is provided by the Hilscher netX network controller.

Highlights

• Universal CC-Link Slave interface with onboard network connector
• Flexible network connector positioning
• Host connection via parallel dual-port memory or SPI
• Function-compatible replacement for comX 10CA-CCS

Supported protocols

• CC-Link Slave
