Lantronix XPress-DR+ Industrial Device Server

 Network All Your Industrial Equipment – Quickly and Easily

For demanding factory applications, Lantronix introduces

the XPress-DR+™ industrial device server. The XPress-DR+

enables users to remotely configure, monitor and control

PLCs, drives, motion controllers, power equipment,

barcode scanners and other serial devices from anywhere

over the Net.

A versatile, powerful tool for remote management of

automation and assembly/packaging equipment at

manufacturing sites, automated distribution centers,

refinery plants – or any industrial setting – it provides

complete access and control of virtually any type of

equipment with a serial port!

 

Extending Network Connectivity with

SwitchPort+

Supporting two serial ports and two 10/100 Ethernet

ports, the XPress-DR+ features patent-pending

SwitchPort+™ technology which enables multiple

industrial serial devices to be daisy chained (cascaded)

from a single network backbone connection. SwitchPort+

combines Lantronix advanced device server technology

with Ethernet switching technology to provide a robust

and reliable method for networking equipment.

Saves time and money by avoiding unnecessary cable

runs and eliminates serial cable distance limitations.

Standards Based Communications

Using an open Ethernet architecture as a standard

for device communication provides the flexibility to

communicate to virtually any type of industrial equipment.

Additionally it enables new equipment to be

quickly and easily incorporated into existing network

system designs.

When used in conjunction with an OPC server, most

Windows® based HMI, SCADA and PC-based control

applications have full access to information in the

connected device. Existing COM-port based Windows

applications can access network-enabled devices using

Lantronix Com Port Redirector™. This specialized

software creates virtual serial ports, which are mapped

to the XPress-DR+ over Ethernet.

Thrives in the Industrial Environment

The XPress-DR+ meets the demanding, complex

industrial environment head on. Packaged in a rugged

DIN-rail mount case, it’s equipped with isolated serial

and Ethernet ports and screw terminal connectors for

serial and power. It supports industrial protocols such as

Modbus TCP, Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU and DF1.

• 15KV serial ESD protection and 2.5KV Ethernet

isolation protects circuitry from overcurrent conditions

• Wide -40°– 70°C operational temperature range
• 9-30 VDC and 9-24 VAC power input options

 

Configuration Flexibility

Flexible configuration options allow the unit to be set

up locally using the serial port, or remotely over

Ethernet using Telnet or browser. The included

DeviceInstaller™ software simplifies the process of

installing industrial protocols and configuring them for

use with attached devices. The CPU’s flash memory

provides maintenance-free, non-volatile storage and

easily accommodates future system upgrades. Complete

with an auto MDI/MDIX Ethernet interface, the XPress-

DR+ is a powerful device communication solution that’s

perfect for your most demanding industrial applications.
