Introduction
xSenso is a compact DIN-rail or wall mount solution that enables sensors with analog outputs
(voltage or current) to easily and transparently send real-time data to any node on the network or
over the Internet. xSenso is an ideal solution for remote monitoring and data logging of critical
events in process control and automation applications. With its low port density, xSenso can be
affordably installed in dispersed locations. In applications where analog sensors and controllers
are used, xSenso can be configured to send alarms via emails or text messages when readings
are outside predefined ranges. These alarms allow control engineers to take immediate corrective
action when certain thresholds are met. Its embedded web server makes it possible to monitor the
input readings, chart or log the data using browsers on computers, smartphones, and tablets from
anywhere in the world.
There are three Lantronix xSenso device servers:
xSenso 2100 with two analog inputs (part number XSO210000-01-S)
xSenso 21A2 with two analog inputs and two analog output (part number XSO21A200-01-S)
xSenso 21R2 with two analog inputs and two relay outputs (part number XSO21R200-01-S)
Key Features
