Product Description

Weighing approximately 190 grams and measuring a mere 38 by 100 by 91 millimeters, the CX1500-M200 packs remarkable connectivity into its compact aluminum casing. As part of the renowned Embedded PC CX Series, this versatile module supports linking up to 254 nodes with a maximum of 65,280 digital and analog I/O points. Dual fiber optic ports enable dependable communication across long distances common in processing and automation applications.

Data transfer occurs quickly via Lightbus technology operating at 2.5 megabaud, shuttling 32-bit process data packets in just 25 microseconds. Whether synchronously or asynchronously, real-time process data moves seamlessly between nodes for tightly integrated control. An ISA plug-and-play interface integrates the module into any CX Series computer via a straightforward 2KB DPRAM connection. Only 2 watts of power are required to achieve such extensive networking capability from within its miniature footprint.

Reliability remains the priority despite the CX1500-M200's small physical stature, as downtime simply is not an option for industrial uptime-critical processes. Testing verifies consistent functionality from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius and harsh isolation from dust, liquids, vibrations, and impacts. Electromagnetic emissions fall well below limits while immunity from electrical noise ensures interference-free operation. Dual UL and CE certifications further demonstrate adherence to global safety and EMC standards. Through elegant hardware and software design, the CX1500-M200 eliminates complexity. Seamless configuration tools and TwinCAT 2 integration remove programming barriers. Installation remains effortless through the module's compact form, routinely meeting mechanical space constraints. Even after years of continuous cycling, the estimated lifespan matches that of any manufacturing equipment it interfaces.
