Overview
Intended Use
The C-Box is a remote terminal unit (RTU). It offers a smart communication interface for
devices and appliances that support the Modbus protocol. In addition, it features general-
purpose inputs and outputs. It is part of a family of devices that require a Bridge-Box (REF
CMB-01.1011) to be powered and to operate. It cannot be used standalone.
The C-Box presents on both sides an SBUS connector (IMAGE 1) to be daisy-chained
with other devices of the same family.
