Product Description
The Beckhoff CX1000-N002 is a reliable integration of the scale of the Embedded PC CX series. It also supports the RS232 standard which is a standard device interconnection circuitry used in almost all devices in the automation system for proper communication. The module consists of two communication ports known as communicating devices, COM2 and COM3. The style of the connector is the 9-pin D-Sub which is the standard configuration for RS232 protocols making it very versatile in external device connections. || This device also comes with a max baud rate of 115 kBaud for data transmission capability. The signal assignments are also pin relative defined in a very systematic manner. For instance in COM2, Pin 2 is designated for RxD (Receive Data)>>, Pin 3 is for TxD (Transmit Data)>>, Pin 4 designed for DTR (Data Terminal Ready)>>, and finally Pin 5 is for GND (Ground)>>. The same case applies to COM3 which has Pin 2 for RxD, Pin 3 for TxD and Pin 5 for GND hence making the setup for serial communication very simple and easy for any usage scenario. From a physical perspective, the CX 1000 N002 is slim as it has the dimensions of 19 mm x 100 mm x 91 mm. Hence, it becomes easy to fit in the system control cabinets or boxes which are usually very space restrained.
The unit weighs approximately 80 grams and is therefore light providing ease of handling and installation while erecting it. The CX1100-N002 power supply module provides power to the system via the system bus therefore no external power supply sources are needed. Moreover, the CX1000-N002 interfaces have optical isolation on the surface which is a great feature for safety and preventing electrical noise interference from the surrounding.
