Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The CFP-1804 provides a four-slot Ethernet/serial interface within the Compact FieldPoint platform. NI identifies it separately from the eight-slot cFP-1808, making slot capacity an important distinction when selecting equipment for an existing system.

NI documents Ethernet, RS-232, or simultaneous use of both interfaces for the cFP-180x family. Ethernet communication supports Modbus TCP, while serial communication supports Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU.

  • Four-slot configuration for Compact FieldPoint I/O.
  • Ethernet and RS-232 communication interfaces.
  • Modbus TCP communication over Ethernet.
  • Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU communication over serial.
  • cFP-180x backplane mounting support for cFP-CB-1, cFP-CB-2, and cFP-CB-3 connector blocks.
