New Low-Cost
Compact "All-in-One" Controller
Introducing the XLe Operator Control
Station (OCS), an “all-in-one” controller small
enough to fit in the palm of your hand (only
3.75” square).Priced below the cost of a micro
PLC plus operator interface, these devices
include a Graphical Operator Interface, Built-in
I/O, Networking and Removable Mass Data Storage.
OCS is a robust, reliable control product that
combines a traditional controller (programmed
with ladder logic) with an operator interface,
I/O and networking into an integrated,
all-in-one unit using a single
industry-recognized software package called
Cscape™.
First with
Removeable MicroSD™ Memory
The XLe is the first industrial product to
include support for the latest standard in
Removable Mass Storage. This dime-sized memory,
to date only found on video-enabled cellular
phones, is available in densities ranging from
128MB to 1GB. This is ideal for storing process
data, machine recipes, and application files.
Users can easily update their XLe application
program through this memory device — allowing
logic and screen updates to be made in a single
step with transportable media.
Built-in I/O
and Networking
The four available XLe models with built-in
I/O include digital, analog, and high speed I/O.
For machine control, the high speed I/O can
provide totalizing, frequency measurement, PWM
generation and pulse outputs. The available
Universal Analog I/O is ideal for process
control applications with high-resolution inputs
which can be configured for Thermocouple, RTD,
4-20mA, +/-100mV, and 0-10V signals.
The XLe memory structure supports over 5000 I/O.
The XLe also has field
installable communications options. An
internal10/100MBit Ethernet card makes machine
data and XLe programming accessible at a
plant-wide or world-wide basis. In addition, the
XLe is available with an internal 14.4K
telephone modem card. While Ethernet and modem
are optional, dual RS-232/RS-485 serial ports
and an integrated CAN-based network (CsCAN™) are
standard.
Applications
As a compact, powerful controller – the XLe
can be used in literally thousands of
applications. From OEM machine control to
machine monitoring in a plant environment, the
XLe can be instrumental in keeping you or your
customer’s automation activities running
smoothly. Future expansion is not a concern,
because XLe is part of the wide ranging OCS
product line — programmable throughout with a
single FREE software package, CscapeTM. The XLe
is designed with an attractive, generic look so
it will fit in with most panel or console
designs – you can even have your company’s logo
added to the overlay or specify a custom keypad
altogether.
 Temperature
Control
With built-in RTD and Thermocouple available,
along with auto-tune PID, the XLe can perform
advanced temperature control and much more on
any machine.
 Packaging
The XLe’s compact size, affordable price, and
fast response make it a natural for packaging
machinery of all types.
 Agriculture
A small rugged package, 12Vdc compatibility,
and removable
mass storage are ideal for the agricultural
environment.
 Water
Treatment
The XLe offers the perfect I/O mix, size, and
communications capability for Pump Control, Tank
Monitoring and Remote Telemetry in general.
I/O Expansion
XLe I/O expansion is not limited to its Built-in
I/O. SmartStix I/O is high-speed and can be
local or highly distributed. SmartMod RTU/Modbus
I/O is a cost effective means of adding a small
number of analog or digital I/O.
Architecture
The XLe supports CsCAN high-speed networking
as standard, and Ethernet networking as a
field-installable option.
Single-point-of-connect allows seamless
communications between the computer and any
controller. In the diagram to the right, XLe 2
and XLe 3 are accessed by the PC over Ethernet
and CsCAN through XLe 1.
