OrionLX+ Automation Platform

The OrionLX+ adds new power and flexibility for larger, more challenging
applications, plus features to simplify usage and reduce costs of
ownership.

As a member of the Orion family, the OrionLX+ shares the same operating
system and configuration techniques of the other Orions: OrionSX,
OrionMX, OrionLXm, and Orion I/O. Configurations from other Orions can
run in the OrionLX+, and the same serial communication cards can be Front View of OrionLX+
used in both the OrionLX CPX and OrionLX+.

Capabilities include hot swappable power supplies, expanded networking Other Hardware Features
options, higher “Direct Video” performance, expanded application • Keyboard and mouse ports
support, and significantly more power. • Modular, field-replaceable serial port cards

Hot Swappable Power Supplies

Single or redundant supplies can be ordered, each removable under Serial Cards IED Protocols
