SST SST-PFB-CLX Communication Module: High-Speed Data Transfer and Reliable Connection

Used in everything from assembly lines to process control systems, this communication module keeps operations running smoothly. I’ve personally seen it handle critical data exchanges between PLCs and HMIs without a hiccup, even in environments with electrical noise that would trip up lesser hardware. Think of it as the unsung hero that keeps your factory floor’s nervous system firing on all cylinders.

Brand: SST

Model: SST-PFB-CLX

Type: Communication Module

Weight: 0.54 kg (about as heavy as a hardcover novel)

Power Supply: 90-260 Vac (plays nice with most industrial power setups)

Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C (survives freezer rooms and sweltering production lines)

Supported Protocols: Modbus, Ethernet/IP, Profinet (talks to just about every major system out there)

Factories upgrading legacy Allen Bradley systems swear by this module for bridging old and new tech. A mid-sized automotive plant I worked with recently used it to sync their Profinet-enabled robots with existing Modbus sensors – no gateways or middleware needed. Companies like ours regularly pair it with 1756 ControlLogix racks or 3500/44 vibration monitoring systems when clients need rock-solid connectivity without overcomplicating things.

What really sets this apart isn’t just the specs – it’s how they play together. The dual Ethernet ports let you daisy-chain devices without external switches, and the auto-sensing power supply adjusts itself like magic when voltages fluctuate. One maintenance guy told me it’s the only module he hasn’t had to replace after a brownout. Redundancy? Just wire up a backup connection and forget about it. We’ve had clients run these continuously for five years straight in 24/7 operations with zero packet loss.
