Open network connectivity has been a hallmark feature of all DXAdvanced models. In addition to MODBUS RTU and TCP, new EtherNet/IP and PROFIBUS DP protocols aid installation on control networks. DXAdvanced R3 can interface with PLCs and other control products as a data source or to add graphical data display and recording functions. All DXAdvanced R3 models include 80MB or optional 200MB of non-volatile, internal flash memory, and use standard Compact Flash removable media for secure, long-term data storage. An optional USB interface supports data retrieval with USB memory devices and configuration with a USB keyboard.
