SST communication modules for harsh-duty operation

Engineered to withstand the toughest environmental conditions, Molex supplies the CLXT Modules for Rockwell ControlLogix in three versions: the SST-ESR2-CLXT Module for Ethernet and Serial Connections; the SST-ER4-CLXT Serial Communication Module with four Modbus serial ports; and the SST-PB3-CLXT-RLL for Profibus Master/Slave applications. Extending module lifespan in humid conditions, all versions offer wide temperature ranges, conformal-coated boards and harsh-duty components. Fully integrated into Rockwell Integrated Architecture, the modules provide Rockwell users the best solution for their networking needs in harsh and corrosive industrial environments.

George Kairys, Product Manager, Molex, commented: “Our new CLXT Modules complement the existing line, offering robust design features that provide the higher level of protection required to withstand harsh and extreme environments. Fully integrated into Rockwell Integrated Architecture, our SST Communication Modules provide industrial users with an ideal solution for their networking needs. Our entire SST line was developed to provide more integrated, flexible, easier-to-use connectivity solutions for reliable interoperability of industrial automation network protocols. The products enable optimized data transfer for high-speed control and other critical performance applications.”
