X-600M Users Manual Introduction
Ethernet Switch
The X-600M has two IEEE std 802.3 Ethernet connectors with an internal L2 switch. The internal
Ethernet switch allows multiple modules to be daisy chained together or a second Ethernet device to
be connected without the need for an external Ethernet hub or switch. The X-600M does not tie up
an Ethernet port. Normally when two ports of the same configuration are connected, an Ethernet
crossover cable is needed to cross the transmit and receive signals in the cable. With the X-600M
both Ethernet connectors support
Auto MDI-X which automatically detects the required cable
connection type and configures the connection appropriately.
Wireless Options
Plug an IEEE 802.11/B/G/N WIFI module into the USB Host connector and the X-600M can connect
to a wireless access point. The X-600M also supports a wireless “ad hoc” network which allows you
to connect directly to the X-600M with a smart phone, tablet, or PC.
USB Host and Device Connectors
The USB 2.0 H ost controller allows connectivity with industry standard computer peripherals.
Currently the X-600M has support for USB flash memory drives and WIFI adapters.
1-Wire bus
Connector terminals provide communication with 1 -wire sensors to monitor temperature and
humidity. A 1-wire ultrasonic sensor is also available for measuring distance or liquid levels.
Internal Temperature Sensor
An internal digital temperature sensor measures the internal temperature (-40°C to +85°C). This
sensor can be accessed from the overview page.
Expansion Bus
A ribbon cable expansion bus connector allows a family of add-on modules to be connected directly
to the X-600M without the need for an Ethernet switch. Various expansion modules are available
with relays, digital inputs, thermocouples and other industrial inputs and outputs. The ribbon cable
provides both communication and power connections to the expansion modules. The expansion bus
can provide up to 1.7 Amps for powering the attached expansion modules. The maximum number of
expansion modules depends on the module type and power requirements. The input current for the
various expansion modules is listed in the expansion module user manuals.
Power Supply
The X-600M works with 9 to 28V DC power. The power supply voltage (Vin+) is monitored internally.
This value can be displayed, logged, and used to control local/remote relays. It can also be
configured to send Email notifications. This feature is convenient for monitoring the system battery in
solar powered applications.
Real-time Clock
The real time clock is powered with an internal super capacitor which provides backup power for a
minimum of 30-days (no internal batteries need to be maintained). The time and date can be set
manually, or a time server can be used to periodically sync the time.
Event Scheduler
Program up to 1024 calendar events using a familiar calendar-based configuration page.
Automatically switch from weekday to weekend or holiday schedules.
Logging
Periodic and event based logging of any of the I/O configured on the X-600M is possible. Up to 5
separate log files can be created and stored either internally or externally on a USB flash drive.
