2.5 Material Recommendation for the Faceplate
For achieving good emission and immunity behavior of your device under construction into which
the COMX Module is integrated, we urgently recommend to use metal as material for the covering
faceplate. Do not use plastics!
2.6 Designation of the COMX Module
Each COMX Module has a matrix code label. A matrix label contains 3 items:
1. Part number/Order number
2. Hardware Revision
3. Serial number
The figure shows part number 1521.416, hardware revision 3 and serial number 00200.
Figure 5: Example Matrix Code label of COMX Modules
The label is normally glued on top of the main processor.
