Remotely Monitor and Control Your Industrial Equipment
– Quickly and Easily!
The rugged XPress-I/O device server delivers a powerful I/O network connectivity option for a wide range of industrial automation equipment.
Combined with Lantronix’s serial device networking power, digital I/O and dry contact (relay) functionality delivers the ability to remotely access, monitor and control industrial I/O devices with maximum flexibility. Xpress I/O can monitor and control alarms, valves, fans, lights, motor starters, control relays and much more.
Featuring Lantronix Evolution OS™, our powerful real-time Networking Operating System, the XPress-I/O delivers an unprecedented level of intelligence and security to networked equipment, complete with SSH and SSL security built-in. With this powerful product, just about any piece of equipment with a serial port can become a fully secure member of the corporate network so it can be accessed and managed remotely from virtually anywhere.
Applying Network Connectivity to I/O Devices
With the XPress-I/O device server, monitoring and protection of your high-value I/O assets has never been so easy. Through remote I/O management using common SCADA, OPC Servers or PLC’s with Modbus/TCP protocol, this specialized device server enables users to monitor equipment failure, environmental alarms, intrusion detection, relay contact closures – a wide array of industrial equipment with I/O functionality.
The addition of digital I/O and relay monitoring enables the XPress-I/O to not only protect data but also the physical environment that provides it. Activity can be monitored remotely and the user alerted via email or Modbus TCP. Enabling the user to respond to critical events, digital I/Os and relays can be triggered remotely from the XPress-I/O’s web page, command line interface or via Modbus.
Standards Based Communications
The XPress-I/O’s open Ethernet architecture lets you quickly and easily incorporate your industrial I/O equipment into existing network system designs.
When used in conjunction with an OPC server, most Windows®-based HMI, SCADA and PC-based control applications have full access to information in connected devices. Existing COM-port based applications can access network-enabled devices via Lantronix’s Com Port Redirector™ software. And with our powerful Evolution OS™ operating system, you’ll have the flexibility to accommodate future network expansion.
Thrives in the Industrial Environment
The XPress-I/O meets the demanding, complex industrial environment head on. It’s equipped with isolated serial, I/O and Ethernet ports. Screw terminal connectors are provided for serial, I/O, relay and power. It supports industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP, Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU and is FM-approved for hazardous locations Class 1, Div. 2.
- 15KV serial ESD protection and 2.5KV Ethernet
isolation protects circuitry from overcurrent conditions
- ESD-protected I/O channels are independent and optically isolated
- Wide -40°-75°C operational temperature range
- Flexible power with 9-30 VDC and 9-24 VAC input range
Configuration Flexibility
Flexible configuration options allow the XPress-I/O to be set up locally using the serial port, or remotely over Ethernet using Telnet or browser. The CPU’s flash memory provides maintenance-free, non-volatile storage and easily accommodates future system upgrades.
