DeviceNet communication module COMX 100CA-DN

PLCprogrammablemicroprocessor-controlled

Description

• Dual-port memory communication module for DeviceNet; flexible communication module for automation.
• Universal DeviceNet interface (Master or Slave) with network connector onboard.
• Master or slave on the same hardware; usable immediately due to preloaded firmware.
• Host connection via Dual-Port-Memory (access via 8-/16-bit bus interface or fast 50 MHz SPI interface).

Product details
The comX communication module is designed to be integrated into automation devices to provide drives, robot controllers, PLCs, etc. with a network interface. Communication tasks are executed autonomously in the module, independent of the target device processor. comX supports leading real-time Ethernet protocols as Master or Slave and meets network-specific requirements in a single module. The communication protocol can be changed by loading the appropriate firmware and a software license for masters. Thanks to the Hilscher network controller netX, a 10-year delivery guarantee is granted.

• Master or slave on the same hardware
• Preloaded firmware — usable immediately
• Host connection via dual-port memory (8/16-bit bus or 50 MHz SPI)

Supported protocols

• DeviceNet Master
• DeviceNet Slave
