Posted by Messung Industrial Automation & controls on August 30th, 2021

Messung, one of the leading PLC automation companies in Pune, has developed this mini programmable logic controller in India at a cost-effective price - especially for entry-level applications.

NX-ERA Xpress is a small PLCwith big, advanced features. This compact PLC in India delivers high-speed processing power in a compact design with embedded I/O. The PLC system can be easily expanded - a great advantage for OEMs with needs of small, scalable applications.

The NX-ERA Xpress product portfolio targets small PLC panels or programmable controller systems, for applications where automation was a difficult option. NX-ERA Xpress offers models containing from a few digital inputs and outputs up to options with 43 I/O points concentrated in a single controller, including analog inputs and outputs with temperature support (RTD sensors). With its compact dimensions and competitive pricing, NX-ERA Xpress mini programmable logic controller has opened up new perspectives in industrial automation.

Cutting-edge features of NX-ERA Xpress

NX-ERA Xpress micro PLCdelivers high-speed processing power in a compact design with embedded I/O. The micro PLC system can be easily expanded through Canopen using the Remote I/O Modules - a great advantage for OEMs with needs of small, scalable applications.

The highlights and advantages of NX-ERA Xpress include:

• High density I/O both Digital & Analog
• Programming by Codesys (r) - IEC 61131 standard based software
• Integrated communication with international standard protocols like Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, Ethernet I/P, CANopen
• Industry 4.0 enabled IIOT interface with MQTT & OPC UA protocol
• RS-485 port with Modbus RTU Master protocol
• SCADA and HMI interfaces available
• Built in HTML web server
• High speed CPU
• Real time clock
• Scalable within NX-ERA family of PLCs, it covers small to large solutions
• Easily expanded through CANopen using the Remote I/OMode: can connect to external devices such as sensors, electro mechanical actuators, VFDs and servo motorslocated far away from the main control cabinet via various protocols

Diverse applications of NX-ERA Xpress

NX-ERA Xpress is suitable for small applications and remote distributed I/O in verticals such as factory automation, machines, infrastructure, building automation, water, wastewater, food, textiles, and several other OEM solutions. Additionally, it is an ideal solution for complementing big applications along with NX-ERA Series portfolio, extending the range of applications using the same technology and engineering environment.

NX-ERA Xpress has been successfully applied for:

• General purpose machine controllers
• SPM controllers
• Textile machine controllers
• Machine tool controllers
• Blow moulding machine controllers
• Pharma machine controllers
• Bandsaw controller
• Plastic injection machine controllers

The embedded I/O PLChas also proved itself in applications such as Dust analyser, Continuous furnace, Pressure testing, Hydraulic press, Robotic cell, Boiler automation, Battery management system and water purification system.

Whether you need a material handling controller, energy management controller, PID controller or AHU controller, NX-ERA Xpress enables enhanced performance and control.
