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 Serial Configuration Utility is an easy to use Windows® application for installing and configuring the XM series modules.
The Serial Configuration Utility can execute "on line" or "stand alone". When executed in "stand alone" mode the tool may be used to read, modify and write configurations stored on disk. When executed "on line" the tool can upload configurations from a module, download configurations, and firmware updates, to a module and view data from the module.
Connection to an XM module is via the module’s serial interface using either the mini-connector located on top of the module or the three-wire connections on the module’s terminal base. A convenient 2 meter interface cable is available, that provides a standard PC type 9-pin D-subminiature connector on one end and a 5-pin XM serial port mini-plug on the other end. The Serial Configuration Utility is packaged with every XM Measurement and Relay module sold.
