XL4 Legacy Upgrade

XL4 Upgrade to Q04 Plus firmware excluding Modbus and DF1

Need XL4 Plus functionality but don’t need Modbus or DF1 on all RTUs?

This licence, the XL4 Plus – Legacy upgrade option is ideal, as it includes QComms Store and Forward functionality but without the third-party communications options (as per the old XL4).

Why upgrade your XL4s to Q04 Plus firmware v7?

•Gives your XL4 the ability to capture over 65,000 data points instead of the original 255 it was shipped with, allowing you to capture as much data as you need from PLCs and other devices on your SCADA system (V7+).
• Supports multiple instances of Modbus RTU/ASCll/TCP and Allen Bradley DF1 industrial protocols on separate ports, slave RTUs can have individual poll rates (V7.05+)
• Supports Modbus over RS485, RS232, and Ethernet (V7.05+) .
• The Real Time Operating System (RTOS) ensures a more robust and faster performance of tasks.
• Base station communications can be made with digital radio, Ethernet, cellular, analogue radio and store & forward (RTU-RTU).
• New Dual Comms provides genuine redundant base station communications with simultaneous radio and Ethernet communications, thus retaining the security of radio communications in the event of failure of the LAN/WAN connection, particularly when you have large volumes of data to retrieve, e.g., in Drinking Water Standards applications.
• The Ethernet port can service multiple TCP connections simultaneously, so you can have Modbus and QComms running at the same time.
• Floating Point Arithmetic for more accurate 32 bit system integration (V7.16+).
• Easy USB firmware upgrades.
• Be ready to take advantage of future firmware enhancements that will include TCP connectivity to Workbench for remote RTU configuration, adding SDI12 and DNP3.
