Com'X 210/510

Connectivity

Modbus Serial /RS485 connections to field devices

• By cable with RJ45 connector.

Two Ethernet ports

• Used to either separate upstream connection from field devices network or to daisy chain Ethernet devices.

• RJ45 10/100 Base connectors.

• Static IP address.

Ethernet port #1

• Connection to Local Area Network (LAN)

• PoE Class 3 (802.3af) can act as main/backup power supply for the Com'X

• DHCP client.

Ethernet port #2

• Connection to field devices

• DHCP client or server.

Power supply to analogue and digital outputs

Outputs to supply sensors and inputs when Com’X is supplied through 24 Vdc input on top:

• 12 Vdc– 60 mA for digital inputs

• 24 Vdc for analogue inputs.

Compliant with electrical switchboard environment (temperature, electromagnetic compatibility).

Two inputs for analogue sensors

• PT100 or PT1000 temperature probes.

• Various sensors (humidity, CO₂, etc.) with 0-10 V output.

• Various sensors with 4-20 mA output.

Six inputs for dry contact sensors or pulse counters

• Max 25 pulses per second (min duration 20 ms).

• IEC 62053-31 Class A.

Wi-Fi USB stick

• As an alternative for data publication over Ethernet, connects Com’X to the site Wi-Fi router for regular data transmission.

• Can also be used for Com'X 510 configuration through one-to-one connection with PC or tablet.

• Plugs into USB port 2 under front cover.

GPRS Modem

• For connection to the data processing server through cellular or user's APN network.

• Also connects to Schneider Electric's Digital Service Platform.

• Especially suitable for sites with no internet access.

• Simply plugs into dedicated port under the front cover.

GPRS antenna

• Improves GPRS signal strength in case of poor transmission conditions.

• Recommended for Com’X located inside metallic electrical panels.

Zigbee dongle (not shown)

For connection to wireless digital enabled field devices such as PowerLogic EM4300 meters. Plugs into USB ports.

PowerLogic WT4200 wireless transmitters, connected to Modbus RS485, enables collecting data also from water, air, gas or steam meters.

Installation

• DIN rail fitting (Front face IP40, terminals IP20)

• weight 450 g

• dimensions (HxWxD) 91 x 144 x 65.8 mm.

Setup and Configuration

Connection to LAN

When connected to the LAN, it can be detected and assigned an IP address by DHCP. Your operating system's DPWS feature allows your computer to automatically recognize the device as Com'X. Embedded web pages are then immediately accessible by clicking each Com’X device icon or by typing the assigned IP address into your web browser.

Field Device Auto-Discovery

The user-activated device discovery function automatically identifies all field devices connected to Modbus Serial, Ethernet port or Zigbee dongle.

• Schneider Electric devices are displayed along with their the product image.

• Other devices appear as “unknown,” allowing the user to manually assign a device type.

• User can assign their own device types.

• Users can complete additional device identification fields, such as circuit ID or building zone.

Data Selection for Logging and Publication

Web page configuration tabs allow you to configure, in just a few clicks, which connected field devices collect and publish data.

Advanced Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Features

• Modbus serial and TCP/IP device statistics.

• Ethernet network statistics.

• Communications check wizard.

• Direct reading of register values from local and remote devices.

Additional Features and Benefits

• Cyber security - integrates with your cyber security architecture.

• Two Ethernet ports to separate upstream cloud connection, or to daisy chain with other Ethernet devices, from field device network.

• Data storage in case of loss of communication.

• Local backup of configuration parameters - back up your system to a USB storage device and have it available for system restore or to duplicatethe configuration on another device.

When Associated with Schneider Electric Services:

• remotely managed (configuration backup, troubleshooting, parameter setting)

• GPRS SIM contract management (with EBXA-GPRS-SIM).
