Dual DB9 RS232 and RS485 Serial Ports

CW-C12 provides two physical DB9 serial ports. Both ports operate as RS232 by default and can be switched to RS485 through the corresponding motherboard jumper configuration.

2 × DB9 COM Two externally accessible serial interfaces for industrial equipment and legacy device communication.
RS232 COM1 and COM2 support standard RS232 communication by default.
RS485 Both serial ports can be switched to RS485 through the corresponding motherboard jumper settings.

The dual-COM configuration makes CW-C12 suitable for PLCs, controllers, meters, barcode scanners, industrial instruments and other serial devices without requiring an external USB-to-serial adapter.

CW-C12 vs CW-C13: Which COM Configuration Do You Need?

CW-C12 and CW-C13 use the same NUC12D motherboard platform and share the same processor options, dual Gigabit LAN, memory and storage architecture. The main difference is the number and configuration of external serial ports.

2 COM

CW-C12

Dual Gigabit LAN + 2 × DB9 COM. COM1 and COM2 operate as RS232 by default and can both be switched to RS485. CW-C12 is suited to projects that require one or two direct serial device connections.

CW-C13

Dual Gigabit LAN + 4 × DB9 COM. COM1 and COM2 support RS232 with RS485 switching, while COM3 and COM4 support RS232. Choose CW-C13 when more simultaneous serial device connections are required.

DDR4 Memory and M.2 PCIe/SATA Storage

The NUC12D platform combines DDR4 memory with flexible M.2 and SATA storage options for compact industrial deployments.

DDR4 3200 1 × SO-DIMM slot with support for up to 32GB DDR4 memory.
