The EXOR PLCM Series Plug-in Option Modules—comprising models PLCM01, PLCM02, PLCM03, PLCM04, and PLCM06—represent a versatile line of industrial network interface expansion cards engineered by EXOR International (Italy). Designed to slot seamlessly into the dedicated Option Plugin Slots of EXOR’s advanced touchscreen HMIs (eTOP500, eX700, eSMART series) and eXware IoT gateways, this series empowers operators to integrate display units into diverse Fieldbus and industrial communication architectures without requiring hardware redesigns.
Detailed model breakdown across the consolidated product family:
- EXOR PLCM01: CANopen Interface Expansion Module (CANopen Master/Slave), delivering high-speed deterministic networking for motion control systems and CAN-compliant field devices.
- EXOR PLCM02: Profibus DP Slave Interface Module (supporting data transmission speeds up to 12 Mbps), enabling direct high-speed interconnectivity with Siemens S7-300/400/1200/1500 PLCs and enterprise Profibus networks.
- EXOR PLCM03: DeviceNet Slave Interface Module, facilitating seamless integration into DeviceNet industrial automation control networks.
- EXOR PLCM04: Isolated Serial Interface Expansion Module (RS-232 / RS-485 / RS-422), providing an additional optically isolated serial channel to protect system electronics against ground loops and electrical noise in harsh industrial environments.
- EXOR PLCM06: CODESYS V3 Control Module / Activation Card, turning EXOR HMIs into powerful SoftPLC controllers capable of executing complex IEC 61131-3 logic concurrently with graphical HMI tasks.
Featuring a compact plug-and-play form factor, all PLCM series modules enable rapid field installation without complex wiring. Manufactured with industrial-grade components, they withstand wide operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +60°C and rigorous mechanical shock/vibration. The PLCM01–PLCM06 series offers OEMs and system integrators an extraordinarily flexible, cost-effective pathway to multi-protocol industrial connectivity.
