Description

The Novus DigiRail NXprog combines industrial device reliability and robustness with the easy programming of the Arduino community for automation applications. Its integrated I/O handles analog and digital signals, allowing NXprog to be used as an I/O extension of standard automation systems or as an intelligent controller for custom applications.

Arduino compatible, DigiRail NXprog enables the use of high-level programming languages ​​such as C/C++ that allow the user to implement complex algorithms such as state machines, statistical analysis, and mathematical equations. This provides an advantage over traditional methods found on most PLCs in the global market.

Designed especially for harsh environments, NXprog brings the ease of use of Arduino compatible devices to industrial applications. It is the perfect combination of ruggedness with easy programming. The RS-485 interface allows communication with other Modbus RTU protocol devices, either as a master or slave. With the flexibility to use libraries from the Arduino community or to implement custom protocols, NXprog enables a variety of applications with machines or processes connectivity.

DigiRail NXprog Features:

  • I/O Mix (Analog and Digital)
  • Interface RS-485 and Ethernet
  • Robust and Reliable for Industry
  • Arduino IDE for High-Level Programming
  • Suitable for Complex Algorithms
