DigiRail-IoT is a gateway with inputs and outputs that meets the demands of companies seeking to connect their sensors and actuators to the Internet of Things. DigiRail-IoT is available in two versions: Wi-Fi and Ethernet. The Wi-Fi version has a range of up to 100 meters, while the Ethernet version has transmission speeds of up to 100 Mbps.

The DigiRail-IoT has 6 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 digital outputs, RS485 interface, USB interface, Wi-Fi or Ethernet communication interface. Its internal memory buffer provides data retention and integrity for eventual download, keeping the data logging seamlessly.

DigiRail-IoT provides an RS485 connection for operation as a gateway, modbus master or slave, with the ability to monitor and publish up to 8 variables from other devices, via the MQTT protocol or Modbus TCP/IP. Its message management system also guarantees security in data transfer.  It is congured using NXperience software and can connect to popular clouds systems such as Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, NOVUS Cloud or any other compatible IoT cloud platform.

Analog Inputs
The DigiRail-IoThas two 15 bit analog inputs.  Those inputs may be configured for 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc, 4-20mA or 0-20mA.

Digital Inputs
DigiRail-IoT has six digital input channels that can be configured as counters or event loggers. The inputs can accept  PNP, NPN or Dry Contact signals.  There is also a programmable debounce options used for dry contact inputs.

Digital Outputs
DigiRail-IoT has two NPN digital outputs that can sink up to 700mA of current.

USB and RS485 Interfaces
The DigiRail-OEE has both a USB and RS485 communication interface.  The USB interface is typically used for configuration using the free downloadable NXPerience software. The RS485 communications uses the industry standard Modbus RTU protocol.

Chose Either Ethernet or WiFi Communications
There are two base models of the DigiRail-IoT available.  Chose either Ethernet communications or other WiFi communications.  The DigiRail-IoT uses Modbus TCP and MQTT industry standard protocols.

Software

NXPerience (free download)

NXperience provides a user-friendly configuration interface, allowing input simulation and output forcing, locally through USB port and remotely through Modbus TCP. System diagnosis and maintenance become very easy thanks to the remote configuration and functions viewing.

NOVUS Cloud IoT Platform(Free Starter Plan)

The NOVUS Cloud is an IoT platform solution for monitoring devices for process data online visualization. Ready-to-use with the DigiRail-IoT, it is the perfect choice for customers with low IT infrastructure or with requirements of unified data from multiple devices at multiple locations. The NOVUS Cloud can receive information of any kind from the IoT devices, store them in the cloud database and present the data in elegant dashboards. Operation or management staff can get online awareness about the process deviations through E-mail notifications, besides the online dashboard alarms. Hosted on cloud server, NOVUS Cloud is accessible worldwide on the internet from any computer or mobile device.
