Optimise Process Automation With NX-ERA Premium PLC System
A process automation system (PAS) is used to automatically control a process such as chemical, paper & pulp factories, oil refineries, water treatment plants, etc.
The PAS usually uses a network to interconnect sensors, controllers, operator terminals and actuators using computer technology and software engineering to help diverse factories such as cement, mining, paper, sugar, power plants, etc. operate more efficiently and safely. Flexible automation solutions integrate multiple technologies into an entire processing line, resulting in improved efficiencies and increased throughput.
Messung understands that process automation streamlines your business, improves workflow and increases efficiency. It also helps factory owners get the highest output from their equipment with as little production cost as possible.
With PAS, the computer programme uses measurements to show how the plant is working and also to simulate different operating modes and find the optimal strategy for the plant.
Messung has developed and implemented several PAS solutions to assist customers in diverse verticals optimise automation and control in their industry. At the heart of it all lies Messung’s passion for developing advanced PLC systems with innovative features suitable for complex industrial processes, high performance machines and production lines.

Advantages of NX-ERA PREMIUM PLC
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
The operating system of NX-ERA CPUs is multitasking and pre-emptive, enabling sophisticated applications and control of the processor’s performance. The RISC 32-bit PowerPC processor combines high performance and lower power consumption. Therefore, there is no need for moving parts contributing to a higher MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures).
HIGH CONNECTIVITY
NX-ERA supports hardware and software for OPC DA, traditional networks and field bus protocols (MODBUS RTU, MODBUS TCP, MODBUS RTU/TCP, PROFIBUS-DP, IEC 60870-5-104 Server, Ethernet/IP and Ether CAT) through its integrated CPU communication interface ports. Yet, in cases of necessity, users can develop their own protocols, allowing total integration with any industrial device.
AVAILABILITY AND SECURITY
For applications that cannot be stopped, NX-ERA Premium has redundant CPUs and hot swapping of its modules, minimizing downtime for maintenance.
NETWORK VARIABLES
Smart and versatile CPUs have features that enable the users to create, modify and share specific variables among several controllers connected on the network, which reduces the systems engineering time.
SCALAR ARCHITECTURE
The internal bus can be expanded using deterministic Ethernet to multiple remote backplane racks without performance loss. One CPU can control up to 320 I/O on a single backplane; local backplane can be connected up to 24 remote backplanes.
NX-ERA Premium is fully compatible with web services, such as:
- Web page server for diagnostics, supervision and product updates
- User visualization web pages for real-time application data monitoring and control
- SNTP for time synchronization and SNMP for Ethernet Network Management
