System Overview
Industrial Computing Platform to decode, pre-process, and buffer monitored system data
Isolating wide-range power supply, 85 to 230 V AC
High Impedance, Fault Tolerant, Isolated RS232 Input to allow non-intrusive monitoring
Isolated RS485 output prevents tampering with RS232 signal or data stream
2 x Isolated LAN Ethernet Ports, for monitoring non-safety critical IP data streams, back-office connectivity or master-slave installation with additional S-LX systems.
Integral SD Card and SIM card for persistent data storage of provision of cellular connectivity
Integral LTE cellular modem
USB port for future monitoring and data storage applications
Prepare Overlay Diagrams
The means of connection to the monitored system will differ dependent on the application.
