X-18s™ Users Manual
Introduction
Section 1: Introduction
The X-18s™ expansion module is used with the X-600M controller. The X-18s has ten, high-current
relays, each with Form-C contacts (SPDT). Wiring connections are made to the relays using 1/4” tab
terminals located on top of the relays. One or more X-18s expansion modules can be connected to an X-
600M controller with ribbon cables.
The X-600M is a multifunction web-enabled industrial I/O controller. It performs control, logic, and
monitoring functions similar to that of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). However, unlike a PLC,
the X-600M is designed for web-based applications from the ground up. No add-on software or
hardware is required. The X-600M can be fully configured, programmed and tested using its built-in web
server. The web setup pages are intuitive and easy to use and do not require special programming
skills.
The X-600M together with expansion modules such as the X-18s provide an easy, flexible and reliable
way to monitor and control systems and devices over a network. The X-18s is suitable for use with
security systems and industrial controls. It can control relatively heavy loads such as motors, solenoid
valves, and lights.
