Product OverviewThe COMX 100CN-CO communication module provides a CANopen interface for integration into automation devices (drives, robot controllers, PLCs). Communication tasks run autonomously on the module independent of the host CPU. Process data is exchanged via a Dual‑Port Memory accessible through an 8/16-bit parallel bus or a fast 50 MHz SPI interface. Firmware can be changed to support protocols and master operation requires a software license. The netX network controller ensures long-term availability.
Highlights- Universal CANopen interface (Master or Slave) with network connection to the mainboard
- Flexible positioning of the CAN connector on the host board
- Same hardware supports Master and Slave modes
- Preloaded firmware for immediate use
- Host connection via parallel Dual‑Port Memory for deterministic data exchange
Supported protocols- CANopen Master
- CANopen Slave
