Communication module UniStream CX Com 1xCANbus UAC-CX-01CAN

CANbus communication module for UniStream™ controllers

The UAC-CX-01CAN communication module extends the capabilities of UniStream™ controllers with a CANbus interface, enabling integration with industrial networks using this standard. This is particularly useful in applications requiring reliable and fast data exchange between devices, such as building automation systems, agricultural machinery, or mobile devices. This module allows for effective control and monitoring of processes based on the CANopen protocol.

Functionality and application

The UAC-CX-01CAN module provides a single CANbus port, which allows connecting the UniStream™ controller to the CAN bus. This enables communication with other devices equipped with a CAN interface, such as sensors, actuators, inverters, or other PLC controllers. This makes it possible to create distributed control and monitoring systems that are more flexible and scalable than traditional solutions. It is worth noting that the module is compatible with various data transmission speeds, allowing it to be adapted to the specific requirements of the application.

Technical specifications and mounting

The UAC-CX-01CAN module is characterized by its compact dimensions and ease of installation. It has a D-Sub9 connector for connecting a shielded cable compliant with the EIA RS485 standard. The dielectric strength of the insulation is 500 VAC for 1 minute, ensuring safety and reliable operation. The module does not require an external power supply – it is powered directly from the CAN bus port. An important aspect is also the need to use terminating resistors of 121Ω at both ends of the CAN bus to ensure proper communication. The selection of the transmission speed should be adapted to the length of the cable – the longer the cable, the lower the transmission speed should be selected to maintain connection stability.
