Toshiba TCF211S Communication Interface Module

The Toshiba TCF211S Communication Interface Module CF211 provides a dedicated RS-232C serial channel for Toshiba PROSEC T1, T1S, and T2 PLC systems, enabling full‑duplex, asynchronous communication between the PLC and external devices such as computers, barcode readers, printers, HMIs, displays, and sensors. It uses ASCII data encoding, supports speeds from 300 to 19200 bps, and offers a buffer of 160 words × 2 with a maximum message length of 320 bytes. A D-Sub 9-pin female connector and a TX/RX LED indicator support wiring and status monitoring, and the module draws up to 550 mA at 5 VDC. Mounts as a PLC rack module and is designed for PLC serial communication and industrial automation applications. Compatible series are Toshiba PROSEC T1, T1S, and T2 PLC systems, and common replacements include TCF211A, TCF211B, and CF611. Typical uses span factory automation, process control panels, packaging machines, conveyors, and material handling equipment where an RS-232C link to peripherals or supervisory systems is required, and maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators rely on it for replacement, upgrades, and integration in industrial automation.
