The Omron NX1W-CIF01 Machine Automation Controller Serial Communications Option Board provides 1 RS-232C port for connecting compatible serial devices. It supports Host Link, Modbus-RTU master, and no-protocol communication, allowing data exchange with HMIs, sensors, drives, and industrial instruments. A screwless clamping terminal block provides the wiring interface, while communication distances up to 15 m support point-to-point device connections. The NX1W-CIF01 adds RS-232C communication capability to compatible NX controller architectures. Its serial connectivity complements the serial communication PLC range available across Omron machine automation systems.
