COMPACT PLC WITH HIGH EXPANDABILITY: NX-ERA XPRESS
Messung, India's first indigenous PLC manufacturer and leader in industrial automation has
developed NX‐ERA Xpress – a mini PLC with macro features.
A compact PLC, NX‐ERA Xpress offers full PLC performance with a small footprint. With its compact
dimensions and competitive pricing, NX‐ERA Xpress has opened up new perspectives in industrial
automation. Many applications for which automation was a difficult option can now benefit from
the many advantages of these entry‐level programmable logic controllers.
NX‐ERA XPRESS HIGHLIGHTS
High density I/O both Digital & Analog
Programming by Codesys (r) ‐ IEC 61131 based software
Ethernet Port ‐ TCP/IP, Modbus TCP/IP
Industry 4.0 ready ‐ OPC‐UA, MQTT features
RS‐485 port with Modbus RTU Master protocol
CANopen Master/Slave protocol
SCADA and HMI interfaces available
Built in HTML web server
There are several options to choose from, allowing the best solution for entry‐level applications.
This product portfolio targets small control systems, offering 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).
In case of additional I/O needs, the PLC system can be easily expanded through CANopen using the
Remote I/O Mode. This mode transforms the product into a non‐programmable slave I/O device,
which can then be connected to a XP3xx controller with CANopen Manager protocol. It can also be
expanded using other available ports like Ethernet and RS‐485.
NX‐ERA XPRESS APPLICATIONS
With Messung’s NX‐ERA Xpress, implementing automation tasks is fast and flexible, while keeping
the footprint to a minimum.
2. NX‐ERA Xpress is suitable for small applications and remote distributed I/O. It may be applied 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.
Messung has successfully applied NX‐ERA Xpress to:
Bandsaw
Dust analyser
Continuous furnace
Pressure testing
Hydraulic press
Robotic cell
Boiler automation
Battery management system
Salt spray chamber
AHU application
Milling machine
Flat dipping machine
Trunnion fixer machine
NX‐ERA XPRESS' FLEXIBLE I/O CAPABILITIES
Generally, compact PLCs are integrated units built by several moduleswithin a single case. Therefore,
the I/O capabilities are usually decidedby the manufacturer. With NX‐ERA Xpress, Messung offers up
to 42I/Os in a single unit.
With the use of Remote I/Os, users can greatly increase the capacity of their automation solutions.
NX‐ERA Xpress can connect to external devices such as sensors, electro mechanical actuators, VFDs
and servo motors located far away from the main control cabinet via various protocols, namely
Modbus, CANopen, and Messung's own'Mesbus'.
