Overview
The ZX has advanced control capabilities, high-resolution graphics, and plenty of connectivity options. Â The ZX is programmed using our Cscape configuration software. Â Both advanced ladder logic and full IEC language sets are also supported. Â For advanced ladder, the ZX controller features online programme change – where logic changes can be made without stopping or pausing the logic scan.
The ZX has two ultra-fast Ethernet ports (1Gbit/s) with one dedicated to our capable Ethernet I/O ( SmartRail).  This keeps the I/O traffic completely segregated from any SCADA, ERP or internet related traffic. The ZX also supports faster CAN I/O (1Mbit/s) for Smartrail or at lower speeds for other I/O Systems such as Smartstix or SmartBlock for example. ZX has three serial ports with Modbus and Third-Party Protocol support.  The built-in web-server offers the User a light-weight alternative to more complex SCADA systems.  The FTP server allows system administrators to upload new recipe data and new web pages as well as download the latest data logs.
