Modular controller with 4 slots.
Configure any way you need.

DIN-Rail mountable, configure to suit your system requirements using our various available hardware modules.


4 module slots
and CFLink BUS.

The modular nature of this controller means you can configure the connectivity based on your system requirements, paying for only what you need. The on-board CFLink BUS means you can link the CF Mini with any other CFLink devices, even multiple CF Minis. CFLink BUS supports over 200 devices, although the maximum system size would depend on how much traffic the system has to cope with.


Informative front panel
for status monitoring.

The front panel display offers a range of information, helping diagnose system configuration and activity issues quickly and easily. LED's even light up to tell you exactly what modules are plugged in.


Test buttons
to check connectivity.

Using the front panel test buttons, you can ensure your connections are all working without the hassle of controlling the unit remotely. Activate relays, send IR codes, trigger dry contact inputs, and so on.


Overview

The DIN-MOD4 is a DIN-Rail mountable, modular controller. Featuring 4 module slots, it can be freely configured to meet your connectivity requirements from job to job. Need 17 RS232 ports? How about 32 IR outputs? No problem. The DIN-MOD4 has you covered.

Rules Engine

All CFLink devices, including the CF Mini, support a powerful rule triggering engine. This allows you to trigger macros to run when a specific event occurs - such as reading a specific value via the I/O ports, or on incoming data via the RS232 port. Using the rules engine, you can setup basic or complex automation actions.

Modular

Each module slot can be filled with any of our available modules. Mix and match RS232/422/485, IR port, I/O port and relay modules to suit your requirements. The DIN-MOD4 ships with 4 blank modules, with other modules sold separately.

On-board RS232/Program Port

The DIN-MOD4 contains an on-board RS232/Program port, which can be used to either control third party RS232 devices, or control the DIN-MOD4 and any other CFLink devices on the same CFLink bus from a third party control system.
