The XM®series from Rockwell Automation is the world’s first machine monitoring and protection system designed as a distributed network of modules deployed on an open standard industrial bus.
The XM-360 Process Module is an intelligent 6-channel general-purpose process monitor. It is a complete process monitoring system in a compact, easily installed, easily maintained package. The module can be configured to measure a DC voltage or a loop current input on each channel and will report both the data value, in engineering units, and the rate of change for each channel.
For applications where it is not possible to integrate XM® data directly via DeviceNet the XM-360 provides a standard 4-20mA output for each channel. And for applications requiring relays the XM-360 supports linking of up to two XM-441 Expansion Relay modules thereby providing a total capacity of up to 8 relays.
The XM-360 can operate stand alone, with no interface to higher-level control systems or interactive user interfaces. It can also be deployed on a standard or dedicated DeviceNet™ network where it can provide real-time data and status information to other XM® modules, PLC’s, DCS and Condition Monitoring Systems.
Configuration can be performed remotely via the DeviceNet™ network, or locally by a PC connected to the integral serial interface. For local configuration, a Serial Configuration Utility is packaged with every XM® measurement and relay module sold.
