4 COM Ports for Multi-Device Serial Communication

CW-C13 provides four physical DB9 COM ports for industrial systems that need to communicate with multiple serial devices from a single Box PC.

4 × DB9 COM Four externally accessible serial interfaces provide more direct connections for industrial equipment.
COM1 / COM2 Operate as RS232 by default and can be switched to RS485 through the corresponding motherboard jumper configuration.
COM3 / COM4 Dedicated RS232 serial interfaces for additional industrial and legacy equipment connections.

With four physical COM ports, CW-C13 can connect more PLCs, controllers, meters, barcode scanners, industrial instruments and other serial devices without relying on multiple external USB-to-serial adapters.

CW-C12 vs CW-C13: 2 COM vs 4 COM

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

CW-C12

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

4 COM

CW-C13

Dual Gigabit LAN + 4 × DB9 COM. COM1 and COM2 support RS232 with RS485 switching, while COM3 and COM4 support RS232. C13 is designed for applications that need more simultaneous serial device connections.

DDR4 Memory and M.2 PCIe/SATA Storage

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

DDR4 3200 1 × SO-DIMM slot with support for up to 32GB DDR4 memory.
M.2 Key-M 2280 Supports PCIe x4 NVMe or compatible M.2 SATA storage through the adaptive M.2 interface.
SATA 3.0 Additional SATA 3.0 connection for compatible SATA SSD or HDD storage.
