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 using expansion modules (see section
Related Products). Additionally, the number of I/O points can be further expanded through remote (distributed) I/O devices
communicating via protocols such as CANopen, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and MODBUS.
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,
including motion control applications. 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.

Table 3: General Features
Notes:
V/I analog inputs (AI): By default, each analog input is composed by 2 terminals (AIx.V and AIx.I), and when selecting
one mode (V, for example), the other pin (I, for example) becomes unused. With the function AnalogInputProbe, provided by
the LibIntegratedIoExt library, it is possible to use these free inputs, allowing to have up to 10 analog inputs (5 on terminals
AIx.V and other 5 on terminals AIx.I), with the same technical characteristics informed on this document. For additional
information, please consult the Technical Support.
Motion control: PLCopen Motion Control Part 1 function block support for single-axis control, multi-axis synchroniza-
tion, electronic gearing (CAME), special editor for motion planning (CAM), and others.
Program memory: From version 3.40 of MasterTool IEC XE, the memory has been increased from 2MB to 3MB in the
XP300, XP315, and XP325 models, and from 6MB to 8MB in the XP340 model.
Maximum number of tasks: This value represents the maximum total of user and system tasks. The detailed description
of possible user tasks can be found on Project Profiles section of User Manual. Before MasterTool IEC XE v3.30, this value
was defined as “5”.
Isolation: The Logic term refers to the internal interfaces such as processors, memories and USB, serial and CAN com-
munication interfaces.
Conformal coating: Conformal coating protects the electronic components inside the product from moisture, dust and
other harsh elements to electronic circuits.
Operating temperature: The minimum operating temperature is 0°C for units with product revision inferior to AS/AS/AW/AE
for XP300/XP315/XP325/XP340 respectively.

Table 4: Memory
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 Application ->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.
