Connect local equipment
Dual RS232, dual RS485 and 1-Wire interfaces connect wired equipment. LTE Cat. 1 and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 add wireless communication.
LX Series / Industrial M2M & IoT
RTCU LX9 eco
Connect signals. Develop the application.
An industrial M2M/IoT gateway combining regional LTE Cat. 1 and Bluetooth Low Energy with analog inputs, relay outputs and NX32L application execution.
Part of the RTCU M2M Platform
From field interfaces to application logic
Field signals. Connected applications.
Bring local equipment signals into a programmable industrial application. The LX9 eco combines serial communication, analog and digital inputs, relay outputs and wireless connectivity.
Work with field signals
Use two configurable analog inputs, five digital inputs and four normally-open relay outputs. Up to four digital inputs support S0 mode with the required supply and configuration.
Choose AC or DC power
The device accepts AC or DC supply and contains a nominal 1 Ah Li-Ion battery. Battery-operation behavior is configurable; external-power loss powers down the unit by default.

- A Windows PC with RTCU M2M Studio.
- The device, its documented power source and model-specific programming cable. Install the driver required for that connection.
- Antennas for the radio interfaces you use; a SIM and service subscription if the application uses cellular connectivity.
Remote M2M Studio access adds network connectivity and the RTCU Communication Hub. The Deployment Server is optional for managed remote updates.
