CX8031
The CX8031 is a controller with an Ethernet connection, via which it is programmed and/or configured, and a
PROFIBUS interface on an RS485 basis with a D-sub connection. Physically the CX8031 has only one D-
sub interface, but this can be used in such a way that it appears as if 4 devices are on the bus. The
advantage of this is that more data can be exchanged and that the CX8031 can communicate as a DP/DP
coupler with a second PROFIBUS master.
Alternatively K-bus or E-bus terminals can be series-connected; the CX8031 automatically detects which
type of terminal is connected during the start-up phase. The controller is programmed with TwinCAT via the
Ethernet interface.
