Overview of the S-LX
The S-LX system comprises of 3 main components mounted on standard DIN rail.
Power supply
The system is supplied through a product-approved isolated BX110 (or domestic mains) to B24 power supply. A single power supply will power 2 x S-LX computing modules and 4 x HZS232 port sniffers inclusive.
Industrial Computer (The S-LX)
The "brains" of the system is an industrial computer running application specific software.
- 2 x Serial Ports (RS232 or RS485)
- 2 x Ethernet ports for data transmission, or local master / slave networks.
- 1 x 4G Modem for onward data transmission
It receives data on it's two serial ports, processes this data and forwards the processed data to the Centrix platform
In master/slave installations, only one S-LX device requires a modem, other devices can be networked together.
High-Impedance Serial Port Sniffer (The HZS232)
- The HZS232 "taps into" RS232 serial lines using an application specific cable set
- The device presents a high-impedance to monitored serial lines, and a fail-safe design, meaning it will not adversely affect the operation of the monitored serial link.
- The device also "isolates" the signal. It can be thought of a as a "data diode". It is not electrically possible for the S-LX computer to interfere with the data on the monitored serial link.
