Prosoft A-XGPS XPosition Module

The XPosition gateway provides connectivity between high precision GPS

and inertial navigation devices to Rockwell Automation’s Logix

(ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™) family of controllers.

The gateway operates in a Logix “owned” mode. With a Logix connection

the input and output assemblies will provide additional diagnostics

information which will be available in the Logix controller environment.

The gateway uses an external GPS receiver to provide accurate position

information. The external GPS or inertial navigation device provides

various accuracy estimates allowing the user to make informed decisions

for high precision position and velocity applications.

The XPosition gateway supports dual antenna receivers, allowing users to

access Yaw, Tilt and Heading data.

The integrated webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system

configuration and operation, including the display of GPS time, position,

and velocity without the need for any additional software.

Features

• EtherNet/IP interface to high precision Positioning equipment:

 • GPS devices

 • Inertial Navigation

 • Supports NMEA over Ethernet

• Positioning and Velocity information in Logix image

• Positioning and Velocity information for Modbus TCP/IP (as a Server)

• Positioning Accuracy and Status information

Configuration

• The Slate Configuration Utility software is used for configuration and

troubleshooting of the gateway. The stand alone configuration utility

allows users to define the setup and configuration of the XPosition

gateway, connections with controllers and devices.
