The XPL Rail family of powerline devices bundles latest HomePlug Green PHY® powerline technology with reasonable CPU power by still having a minimal energy footprint. Thus it is possible to perform extensive control and automation functions in home or building automation and industrial environments.
This member of the product family comes with the following features:
- 6 individually configurable physical channels
- digital input (software-switchable pull-up resistor),
- digital output (Open Collector) or
- analog input (0 – 10 V)
- S0 input (needs auxilary power supply)
- multiple configuration details for each physical channel
- persistant storage of configuration
- support for multiple standard network protocols
(DNS, DHCP, Auto-IP, TCP/IP, HTTP, IGMP, ICMP, IPv4-Multicast, UPnP) - additional grid power output terminals with integrated powerline filter
- simple mounting on standard DIN rails
- encrypted communication via powerline (HomePlug AV)
- Touch button for easy encryption setup and device factory defaults
- integrated client for Internet portal connectivity (to ease device setup within the local network)
- RESTful JSON-based API for 3rd-party software
The embedded web server allows for easy configuration of the device without having to read tons of documentation. The open collector outputs allow to fit your individual requirements: simply connect relays you need and switch your motors, lights etc.
With the embedded firmware, it’s possible to link two or more devices with each other and create virtual channels which can be switched. So it’s possible to transport e.g. a switch output to a consumer in another location without having to install dedicated wires throughout the building.
