Communication module SPI – DeviceNet slave
Communication module SPI – DeviceNet slave
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 all executed autonomously in the module – irrespective of the processor of the target device.
Process data is exchanged via a Dual-Port-Memory per access by an 8-/16-bit bus interface or a fast 50 MHz SPI interface.
comX supports all leading Real-Time Ethernet protocols as Master or Slave and meets all network-specific requirements in just one single module. To support a line topology, the module is equipped with two Ethernet ports. The communication protocol can be changed simply and reliably by loading the appropriate firmware and a software license for masters.
Due to the Hilscher network controller netX, a 10-year delivery guarantee is granted.
- Universal DeviceNet Slave interface with network connection to the mainboard
- Allows a flexible positioning of the network connector
- Host connection via dual-port memory or SPI
- Function-compatible substitute for comX 10CA-CCS
