DeviceNet communication module COMX 52CN-DNS

compactmicroprocessor-controlled

Description
The COMX communication module provides a compact network interface for drives, robot controllers, PLCs and other automation devices. Communication tasks run autonomously in the module, minimizing load on the host processor and simplifying integration into industrial control systems.

Highlights

• Universal DeviceNet Slave interface with network connection to host mainboard
• Flexible positioning of the network connector for system design convenience
• Host interface via parallel dual‑port memory or high‑speed SPI (up to 50 MHz)
• Function‑compatible replacement for COMX 10CN‑DNS

Supported protocol(s)

• DeviceNet Slave
