Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module Overview
The Compact 5000™ I/O serial module provides two independent channels
that function as network interface via RS232C, RS422 or RS485 to serial
devices communicating on Generic ASCII, Modbus RTU/ASCII, DF1 or
DH-485 protocol.
The module has two channels that are independent of each other. The channels
can transmit data to and receive data from serial devices using the following
communication mode:
• Generic ASCII
• Modbus RTU/ASCII (Master/Slave)
• DF1
• DH-485
The serial module can reside locally in a CompactLogix™ 5380, Compact
GuardLogix® 5380, or CompactLogix™ 5480 system. The module can also reside
in a remote Compact 5000 I/O system accessible via an EtherNet/IP™ network.
