Features of XLe/XLt
The XLe/XLt is an all-in-one industrial control device. It combines control, user interface, I/O and
networking into a single, integrated package. Unique features of the XLe/XLt include:
• Bright, graphical LCD display (in XLe) (with touch sensing in XLt)
• Display of complex graphical objects including trends, gauges, meters and animations
• Advanced control capabilities including floating point, multiple auto-tuning PID loops and string
handling capabilities
• Removable media for up to two gigabyte of storage of programs, data logging or screen captures
• CsCAN networking port (optional) for communication with remote I/O, other controllers or PCs
• Configurable serial protocols for communication to drives, PLCs, or other serial peripherals
• Full featured, built-in I/O including high resolution analog, thermocouple, RTD, high speed
counters, PWM outputs and relays (depending upon the XLe/XLt model used)
• Cscape programming software that allows all aspects of the XLe/XLt to be programmed and
configured from one integrated application
• Optional communication add-on modules that allow additional capabilities such as Ethernet or
modems
• Fail – Safe System which allows an application to continue running in the event of “Soft” failures
like (Battery power loss or Battery Backed register RAM / Application Flash corruption)
• Clone Unit allows to “clone” the OCS of the exact same model. This feature “clones” application
program and unit settings stored in Battery backed RAM of an OCS. It can then be used to clone
a different OCS (exact same model)
