NX3008: a global CPU for your business

The main attraction we will be bringing will be theNX3008, a high-performance CPU from the Nexto NX series of controllers. With advanced security functionalities, high capacity formodular architectures connected to the NX and NJ modulesand virtualization, it is a complete solution for systems that require extensive connectivity, delivering performance and versatility for the most varied demands. 

The most advanced Nexto NX device has 3 Ethernet ports, with one being Gigabit type and two with PROFINET Controller protocol support, which allows the controller to be used in a network with an MRP ring architecture. 

Another advanced feature available isits embedded Docker platform.The resource, native to the CPU, makes software virtualization possible. This gives:flexibility and speed to your operations,enabling multiple software processes to run simultaneously within the CPU itself. 

Nexto XF: advanced connectivity, smart performance 

The new XF series as a whole stands out for its high density of embedded I/O modules, offering up to 44 integrated points in a single controller between digital and analog inputs and outputs, depending on the chosen model(check with our sales team at the booth to check the availability of the products).   

For applications demanding more I/O points, the system can be easily expanded through expansion modules coupled to the high-speed bus. Flexibility extends even further with the ability to increase I/O points through remote (distributed) devices, which communicate via protocols such as CANopen, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and MODBUS.  

This combination of high processing capacity, low energy consumption, compact format, and extensive I/O modularity, added to the rugged expansion options, makes the Nexto XF series a highly versatile solution. At our booth, you will be able to see the first prototype developed for this new series of PLCs. 

Operate in the IoT universe with the Nexto XP series

The compact Nexto XP PLCs are the ideal solution for meeting the demands of highly connected environments. 

With embedded communication interfaces for Ethernet, Serial RS 485, CAN, and USB, these PLCs feature support for a varied list of communication protocols, such as MODBUS TCP and RTU, PROFINET, CANopen, J-1939, IEC 60870-5-104, EtherNet/IP, OPC DA, OPC UA, and MQTT. 

The XP340 model is a compact, high-density I/O solution, designed for stand-alone and distributed applications. Its DIN rail mounting design makes it perfect for limited spaces in control panels. The XP340 also features WebServer supporta tool that enables the creation of application supervision and monitoring screens without the need to use a SCADA equipment.

NX3005: the ideal CPU for water and wastewater systems 

Just like the other Nexto controllers, the NX3005 was developed in accordance with the programming language specifications provided in the international standard IEC 61131-3. The module has connection via Ethernet and serial ports, bus expansion capability, hot-swapping of modules, and support for the protocols IEC 60870-5-104 Server, EtherNet/IP, MODBUS RTU, MODBUS TCP, MODBUS RTU/TCP, SNTP, SNMP, OPC DA, and OPC UA.  

The model also uses MasterTool IEC XE, our free software for applications up to 320 points. 

Distributed I/O systems for automation with the G Series 

The G Series is an I/O Remote series designed to respond to the demands of the most modern industrial equipment with high technology.  

With a flexible, versatile, and smart architecture, the series stands out for its high scalability, ease of maintenance, and compatibility with multiple communication protocols.This set of characteristics makes the G Series remote equipment a highly adaptable solution, capable of operating in complex and varied industrial environments, from sectors such as manufacturing and automotive to critical installations in energy and infrastructure. 

Telemetry and high connectivity with datalogger and LoRa gateway 

Created to operate in the monitoring and telemetry processes of the most different areas of the industry, the NL717 datalogger and LoRa Gateway GW700 act in the collection and transmission of data in power generation facilities, hydrological and meteorological stations, among other equipment that require remote data collection.  

They use the LoRa communication protocol, a long-range and low-power radio communication technology widely used in various applications in the IoT universe.
