Created to meet the demands of Industry 4.0, the programmable controllers comes in four models that are different in number of points and communication ports: XP300, XP315, XP325 and XP340. All models have 16 digital inputs, 16 digital transistor outputs, 01 Ethernet port, 01 RS-485 standard Serial, 01 CAN and 01 USB interface. However, the XP315 PLC has also 02 RTD analogue two and three-wire RTD inputs and 5 analog inputs for voltage and current. XP325 has all these features along 04 analog outputs.

With Ethernet, RS 485, CAN and USB Serial embedded interfaces, Xpress products count on a wide variety of communication protocols, such as MODBUS TCP and RTU, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CANopen and low level, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC DA, OPC UA,MQTT and more to come.

Embedded IT/OT resources allows the controller to communicate directly with the most relevant on prem and cloud based services in the market, like SQL Servers, Data Historians, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, Google One and Amazon AWS.

The solution also includes the XP340 PLC, a model that has all the features of XP325 and supports WebServer, a tool that allows the creation of supervision and application monitoring screens without the need to use a SCADA software.

Like other members of the Nexto family, the Xpress PLC also uses the CODESYS technology platform with configuration via MasterTool IEC XE, a free programming software with scalability for micro to large projects.
