XCDN0000 - 

Both the Modular Controller Master (enhanced models) and Data Station Plus contain a proprietary expansion port which provides a high speed, parallel architecture that extends the functionality and flexibility of the platform. This approach allows these products to evolve concurrently with the latest advances in communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the traditional (external) serial gateway approach. The XCCN option card adds a CANopen communication port to the series. This isolated card protects user equipment from potentially harmful ground loops while providing the ability to communicate to any high speed CANopen device. The XCCN option card has a termination resistor built-in, which is selectable via a jumper setting. Additionally, the XCCN connector is pluggable for easy removal of the Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus from the CANopen bus without disturbing communications with other devices on the bus. The XCCN communication card is easily installed by removing the blank expansion port cover of your Modular Controller or Data Station Plus, and plugging the XCCN card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple using Red Lion's free Crimson 2.0 software.
