This module adds two independent serial RS232 interfaces, designated as COM1 and COM2, to the controller assembly, allowing for direct communication with external devices that utilize standard serial protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnection is established via two standard 9-pin D-sub male plugs. The module is powered directly through the internal system bus from the connected CX1100-xxxx power supply module, eliminating the need for external wiring for module operation. The compact 19 mm housing is designed for seamless mounting onto a DIN rail alongside the CPU, ensuring a space-saving installation inside the control cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides two independent serial interfaces (COM1 and COM2) operating on the RS232
