IVOLVE Nexis XS1 NEX-UNT-03 Trigger System

INTRODUCTION

At the core of every iVolve® deployment, the Nexis is used to establish a stable, site-wide mesh network and interface to on-board machine systems.
The Nexis platform is a heavily ruggedized, industrial processing module with a variety of peripheral interfaces (Ethernet, RS232, CAN), integrated GNSS receiver and wireless mesh networking capabilities.

FEATURES

• Up to two Wireless LAN radios supporting 802.11abgn (2.4GHz and 5GHz) with antenna diversity and up to 300Mw transmit power. 3G/GSM support is available as an option. The radio module is field upgradeable to provide a minimal cost upgrade path as technologies change
• Full support for all WLAN (WEP and WPA) security algorithms ensure the highest levels of security are available
• Powerful packet-level firewall supporting NAT/PAT, packet inspection, and dynamic control via one of the available Digital Inputs
• Support for iVolve FMS modules providing production, maintenance and asset management, and proximity detection solutions.
• The platform also supports IP-based GPS corrections (with priority delivery via native mesh support) or other RF-based corrections (e.g/ via VHF/UHF radio) to achieve accuracies as tight as 20mm
• Interfaces with other industrial devices via RS232, RS485, Ethernet, Digital 1/0 and CAN Bus. External 1/0 modules are also supported.
