NPE X500 can perform the following functions:
Data Logger
NPE X500 telemetry module offers you huge opportunities of registering and data access, using built-in input/output interfaces and communication channels, such as:
-
Serial ports
-
Wireless LTE/3G/GPRS/EDGE transmission
-
Ethernet
-
USB
-
ZigBee
Protocol and Interface Converter
Due to flexible configuration, the device can operate as a protocol and interface converter:
-
Modbus TCP
-
Modbus RTU
-
M-Bus
-
SNMP
-
1-Wire
In addition, due to the possibilities of the Linux operating system, each user can create their own protocols with the use of the available SDK.
Embedded Computer
The design of the NPE X500 allows for trouble-free operation in industrial conditions. It has a fanless case and is characterised by high resistance to external conditions and high reliability. The Linux system provides stable operation of the device.
Telemetry Module
NPE X500 is a multichannel telemetry module, providing constant uninterrupted access to data. It enables you to save the results of measurements and parameter values of connected devices - data can be saved to internal memory. You can also save data to internal and external databases.
NPE X500 can generate alarm signals and provide information on current parameter values. Built-in LTE/3G/GPRS modem enables wireless communication.
PLC
NPE X500 can operate as a typical PLC. The telemetry module can be programmed in ladder logic, which is easy to configure and allows for a quick start of an installation.
Due to the Linux operating system - NPE X500 is a stable central unit of an automation system.
Industrial modem and LTE/3G/GPRS router
With a built-in GSM modem, NPE X500 offers advanced functions and can be configured as an industrial modem and a router operating in GPRS, EDGE network as well as in 3G mobile network. You can easily get a backup connection mode and define routing.
You can build a VPN with NPE X500. You can access other devices with one telemetry module with a defined public IP. The VPN guarantees high security of data transmission.
3G technology provides higher speed and lower latency at packet data transmission.
I/O Expansion Module
Due to digital I/O and analog inputs, NPE X500 can successfully replace expansion modules.
The NPE X500 device allows:
visualisation at the monitoring point
remote control via a Web browser
transfer values via any user protocol (e.g. Modbus, SNMP).
GSM / GPRS / EDGE /3G Notify Module
With a built-in GSM modem, the NPE X500 industrial computer can operate as a notify module: it can send alerts when defined parameter values are exceeded (e.g. temperature, humidity).
You can easily and quickly configure the content of a message which is send instantly when the value is exceeded.
System supervisor will immediately receive SMS or e-mail notification.
GPS
GPS receiver allows to use the satellite navigation system. The system is widely used in vehicle monitoring (e.g. transport, railway industry or municipal communication). It allows to synchronize time in extensive industrial networks. It is also used to set a route for industrial machines.
Additional features
- iMod Platform Support. NPE X500 can be upgraded to iMod X500 version. It gives the device a functionality to work in iModCloud Ecosystem.
- iModCloud Ecosystem. A combination of a cloud service with a web user interface and special industrial devices that are fully manageable remotely. Core iModCloud Ecosystem elements are iMod controllers and iModCloud service. iMod controllers and iModCloud service together stand as a complete solution.
iModCloud - Dedicated Cloud Service
iModCloud - a dedicated cloud service - allows you to visualize and control parameters of any number of devices via a web browser. Now iModCloud expands to support NPE X500 devices.
With iModCloud you can control all your facilities via any mobile device, register data and share selected information with other users.
