FAQs (Q&A Format)

Q1: What CPU does the module use?
A1: It uses an ARM Cortex‑A9 processor on a compact board with RAM and a CompactFlash slot.

Q2: What communication ports are included?
A2: It includes two RJ45 Ethernet ports for control network, plus two serial (RS‑232C and isolated).

Q3: Does it support redundancy?
A3: Yes—redundancy for CPU, CEX‑Bus, Ethernet, and IO is supported.

Q4: How is it mounted?
A4: Mounted on DIN‑rail using a slide‑and‑lock base plate for easy removal/install.

Q5: What diagnostics does it offer?
A5: LEDs, INIT reset button, and hardware Ethernet ID for troubleshooting.

Q6: What are its dimensions?
A6: CPU board ~115 × 85 × 38 mm, shipping box roughly 127 × 127 × 127 mm.

Q7: How heavy is it?
A7: The board is about 0.5 kg; packaged module ~1 kg.

Q8: What industrial systems is it used with?
