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
