1. Introduction
1-1. Summarization
XD-4GBOX-ED (4GBOX) is wireless data communication module based on telecom operator
network, supports TCP/IP protocol, is used together with XD and XC series PLC, can be applied
to automation system to perform remote wireless monitoring. The monitoring mode include
message, XCPpro, XD/EPPro software, website, app and so on. It can provide more convenient,
fast and reliable digital and intelligent service for equipment manufacturing, production and
processing, urban construction, warehousing and logistics, intelligent agriculture and other
industries.
4GBOX module include two types which are 4GBOX and XD-4GBOX-ED. Part of them has L
antenna and 3 meters extended antenna, other functions are same with standard type. The
appearance of standard type is shown as below:

2-2. Dimension
XD-4GBOX-ED
The dimension is 25.0mm×100.0mm×90.0mm (width×height×depth).
Please use M3 screw to fix or install on the DIN46277 (width is 35mm) rail.

4GBOX
Note:
(1) Do not let the chips and wire cuttings drop into the module when wiring and installing.
(2) Confirm the module and connected equipment specifications before wiring.
(3) Make sure the connection is strong, the loss of connection will result in incorrect data,
short circuit, etc. installation, wiring and other operations must be performed after the
power supply is cut off.

4GBOX has one RS485 port (terminal A, B). A is RS485+, B is RS485-.
Note: RS485 port is only for connecting Modbus RTU device to monitor the data. It supports XC
series PLC online programming and debugging, XD series PLC only support online data
monitoring in RS485 connection mode (seemed as Modbus RTU device).
