The comX communication module is a screwable option module and designed for the integration into nearly any automation device, to add an industrial network interface. Typical areas of use are robot controllers, PLCs or drives.
The module executes all communication tasks autonomously and independent of the target device’s application processor. comX comes in different types: With network connector onboard or connector to the mainboard or with integrated slave address switches.
comX allows the usage of all major Fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet protocols as Master or Slave. Exactly one hardware supports all Industrial Ethernet protocols, which is equipped with two Ethernet ports for line topology. A change of the communication protocol is done by simply loading a different firmware and adding a software license for master functionality.
Besides Real-Time Ethernet communication, comX includes an integrated Webserver as well as an additional transparent Ethernet channel, to realize own IT solutions in the host processor of the device. For vertical network integration, an upgrade to integrate OPC UA server or MQTT client functionality is available.
All comX modules have the same dimensions and are pin-compatible to each other. Thanks to the common Hilscher Platform strategy, all comX modules have the same interfaces and use the same device driver and tools.
