When an industrial HMI or controller needs cellular connectivity for remote communication, adding a separate modem can make the installation more complicated. The Exor PLCM10B provides LTE connectivity in a compact plug-in extender module, allowing compatible systems to use cellular networks while keeping the communication hardware integrated into the host platform.
Exor PLCM10B LTE Modem Plug-in Extender Module
The Exor PLCM10B is an LTE modem plug-in extender module designed to provide cellular communication for compatible Exor systems. It supports LTE FDD, LTE TDD, WCDMA, and GSM technologies across a broad range of frequency bands, making it suitable for systems that require cellular connectivity across different network environments.
The module supports LTE FDD download speeds of up to 150Mbps and upload speeds of up to 50Mbps. LTE TDD provides up to 130Mbps download and 35Mbps upload, while the module also supports UMTS and GSM data services for supported networks.
For cellular installation, the PLCM10B provides a 50Ω SMA-F Female antenna connector and a microSIM slot. It also includes two optically isolated 24Vdc digital inputs and two optically isolated SSR digital outputs, giving the host system additional isolated digital interface capability alongside the modem functions.
The plug-in extender design allows the module to be integrated directly into a compatible system. Four LED indicators provide status indication, while the cellular interface supports multiple LTE, WCDMA, and GSM bands for flexible network connectivity.
The PLCM10B is designed for industrial operating conditions from -20°C to +60°C, with storage temperatures from -20°C to +70°C and 5 - 85% RH non-condensing humidity. Its compact 41.2x23.8x90.3 mm design and 0.2 Kg weight make it suitable for installations where space is limited. It also carries CE, FCC, UL cULus, Class 1 Div 2, and RCM approvals.
