XAP 1.0: the Compact, Embedded IIOT Controller and Server Platform
A complete solution in building automation from BMS down to field devices.
Carlo Gavazzi Automation, the international electronics group with activities in the design, manufacture and marketing of electronic equipment, is proud to present its new controller and gateway, the XAP 1.0.
The XAP10RSEXX is a compact, IIoT-ready (Industrial Internet of Things) controller and gateway for seamless connection of multiple and diverse devices and sub-systems. Providing Internet connectivity and web-serving capability, the XAP 1.0 provides integrated control and supervision.
Compatible with the standard CODESYS V3 and the Wizard configuration software (the same one used to program the BTM display family), it streams data and rich graphical displays to a standard Web browser via Ethernet or remotely over the Internet.
This controller integrates the standard IEC 61131 PLC (Codesys), so that any building automation function, and specifically HVAC ones, can be programmed by means of a standard and well-known tool. It is empowered by a configurable web interface which makes it an outstanding web HMI, which can be easily programmed with graphic pages, functions and protocols.
“The use of efficient technologies and a proper management of the resources allows the achievement of direct savings on energy costs; furthermore, the use of intelligent remote control and automation systems can significantly contribute to system optimisation, ensuring total and integrated control,” Raffaella Sirena, International Product Manager, states.
“The launch of this new controller will give us the opportunity to grow our business in the building automation market, with existing and new customers, offering a complete range of products from the management level down to the field level.”
Developed by our competence centre in Italy, the XAP 1.0 is designed to deliver a complete solution in building automation from BMS down to field devices: XAP 1.0 is at the management level, UWP 3.0 at the automation level and our Dupline® and Modbus devices at the field level.
