General Supply Conditions
No part of this document may be copied or reproduced in any form without the prior written consent of Altus Sistemas de
Automação S.A. who reserves the right to carry out alterations without prior advice.
According to current legislation in Brazil, the Consumer Defense Code, we are giving the following information to clients
who use our products, regarding personal safety and premises.
The industrial automation equipment, manufactured by Altus, is strong and reliable due to the stringent quality control
it is subjected to. However, any electronic industrial control equipment (programmable controllers, numerical commands,
etc.) can damage machines or processes controlled by them when there are defective components and/or when a programming
or installation error occurs. This can even put human lives at risk. The user should consider the possible consequences of
the defects and should provide additional external installations for safety reasons. This concern is higher when in initial
commissioning and testing.
The equipment manufactured by Altus does not directly expose the environment to hazards, since they do not issue any kind
of pollutant during their use. However, concerning the disposal of equipment, it is important to point out that built-in electronics
may contain materials which are harmful to nature when improperly discarded. Therefore, it is recommended that whenever
discarding this type of product, it should be forwarded to recycling plants, which guarantee proper waste management.
It is essential to read and understand the product documentation, such as manuals and technical characteristics before its
installation or use. The examples and figures presented in this document are solely for illustrative purposes. Due to possible
upgrades and improvements that the products may present, Altus assumes no responsibility for the use of these examples and
figures in real applications. They should only be used to assist user trainings and improve experience with the products and
their features.
Altus warrants its equipment as described in General Conditions of Supply, attached to the commercial proposals.
Altus guarantees that their equipment works in accordance with the clear instructions contained in their manuals and/or
technical characteristics, not guaranteeing the success of any particular type of application of the equipment.
Altus does not acknowledge any other guarantee, directly or implied, mainly when end customers are dealing with third-
party suppliers. The requests for additional information about the supply, equipment features and/or any other Altus services
must be made in writing form. Altus is not responsible for supplying information about its equipment without formal request.

1. INTRODUCTION
1. Introduction
Nexto Xpress is a powerful compact Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) part of Nexto Series family of controllers and
I/O modules. Nexto Xpress delivers high-speed processing power in a compact design with embedded I/O. There are several
options to choose from, allowing the best solution for entry-level applications.
This product portfolio targets small control systems, offering models containing from a few digital inputs and outputs up
to options with 43 I/O points concentrated in a single controller, including analog inputs and outputs with temperature support
(RTD sensors). In case of additional I/O needs, the system can be easily expanded through CANopen using the Remote I/O
Mode. This mode transforms the product into a non-programmable slave I/O device, which can then be connected to a XP3xx
controller with CANopen Manager protocol. It can also be expanded using other available ports like Ethernet and RS-485.
Nexto Xpress is suitable for small applications and remote distributed I/O. It may be applied in verticals such as infrastruc-
ture, building automation, water, wastewater, food, textiles, factory automation, machines and several other OEM solutions.
Additionally, it is an ideal solution for complementing big applications along with Nexto Series portfolio, extending the range
of applications using the same technology and engineering environment. This is a great advantage for OEMs and systems
integrators with needs of small to large applications.

1.2. Visual Inspection
Before resuming the installation process, it is advised to carefully visually inspect the equipment, verifying the existence
of transport damage. Verify if all parts requested are in perfect shape. In case of damages, inform the transport company or
Altus distributor closest to you.
CAUTION:
Before taking the modules off the case, it is important to discharge any possible static energy
accumulated in the body. For that, touch (with bare hands) on any metallic grounded surface
before handling the modules. Such procedure guaranties that the module static energy limits
are not exceeded.
It’s important to register each received equipment serial number, as well as software revisions, in case they exist. This
information is necessary, in case the Altus Technical Support is contacted.

2.1. Panels and Connections
The following figure shows the XP325 front panel:
Figure 2: XP325 front panel
The front panel contains the identification of the I/O and communication interfaces available on Nexto Xpress controllers.
The digital I/O interfaces have one LED for each point to indicate the logic state, while the communication interfaces have one
LED each to indicate activity. The availability of these interfaces on each model is described on next section.
Additionally, on the right side of front panel there are 2 LEDs used to indicate power and diagnostics. The following table
shows the LEDs description. For further information regarding the LEDs status and meaning, see Maintenance chapter.

Notes:
Persistent and Retain symbolic variables memory: Area where are allocated the retentive symbolic variables. The
retentive data keep its respective values even after a CPU’s cycle of power down and power up. The persistent data keep its
respective values even after the download of a new application in the CPU.
ATTENTION:
The declaration and use of symbolic persistent variables should be performed exclusively through
the Persistent Vars object, which may be included in the project through the tree view in Ap-
plication ->Add Object ->Persistent Variables. It should not be used the VAR PERSISTENT
expression in the declaration of field variables of POUs.
The full list of when the symbolic persistent variables keep their values and when the values are lost can be found in the
following table. Additionally to the persistent area size mentioned on general features table, 44 bytes are reserved for the
storage of information about the persistent variables (not available for use).
The following table shows the behavior of retentive and persistent variables for different situations where “-“ means the
value is lost and “X” means the value is kept.
