Connect your installation
Ethernet, dual RS232 and dual RS485 channels connect local equipment. WLAN, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3, LTE Cat. 4 and GNSS add wireless communication and positioning.
LX Series / Industrial M2M & IoT
RTCU LX9 pro
Field interfaces.
Application intelligence.
An industrial M2M/IoT gateway combining LTE Cat. 4, Ethernet, WLAN and Bluetooth Low Energy with analog I/O, relay outputs and NX32L application execution.
Part of the RTCU M2M Platform
Connect signals to softwareOne gateway.
One gateway.
A range of field interfaces.
Combine local I/O and wired equipment with cellular and network communication. Develop the application in RTCU M2M Studio, then run it on the Linux-based NX32L architecture.
Work with mixed signals
Use four analog inputs, four analog outputs, five digital inputs and four relay outputs. Expand the application’s I/O through standard Modbus modules.
Plan the power supply
The device accepts AC or DC supply and has a nominal 2 Ah backup battery. Check the supply requirements for analog outputs and S0 inputs, and configure the application’s power-loss behavior.

- 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.
