The Flexs Q5M is a modular RTU/PLC that combines a powerful CPU and backplane with a family of hot-swappable I/O cards. Start with the core controller, then populate up to eight card slots to match your exact mix of analogs, discretes, relays, and specialty signals. This lets you size the hardware precisely for each site—paying only for the channels you need today while leaving room for growth tomorrow.
Product Overview
The Flexs Q5M is a modular RTU/PLC that combines a powerful CPU and backplane with a family of hot-swappable I/O cards. Start with the core controller, then populate up to eight card slots to match your exact mix of analogs, discretes, relays, and specialty signals. This lets you size the hardware precisely for each site—paying only for the channels you need today while leaving room for growth tomorrow.
Built for industrial and off-grid environments, the Q5M extends the Q5 lineage with relay options (AC and solid-state), multifunction high-speed analog inputs, and mixed analog I/O modules—all with isolation and surge protection where it counts. It’s a clean path to consolidate remote I/O and control under one roof while preserving FlexSCADA’s low-power DNA.
Key features
-
Modular backplane design; supports up to eight I/O cards per controller for tailored builds.
-
I/O card ecosystem includes high-speed multifunction analog, 5 A/30 VDC solid-state relay, 5 A/250 VAC mechanical relay, and mixed analog input/output options.
-
Fully isolated 8-channel analog/discrete I/O card available (0–20 mA, 0–12 V, thermocouple, RTD) with surge protection and advanced diagnostics.
-
Integrates with FlexSCADA resources (manuals, scripting, accessories) for consistent engineering and maintenance.
Use the Q5M when your project list is diverse: a water site that needs fast analog sampling and AC pump control, a battery energy system that mixes temperature, current loops, and dry-contact alarms, or a telecom hut that benefits from solid-state relays and isolated analogs. Configure the slot mix now, add more later, and keep the same software and workflows throughout.
Because the Q5M shares accessories and practices with the broader FlexSCADA ecosystem, spares, training, and documentation stay unified across your fleet—simplifying lifecycle management and reducing total cost of ownership as you scale.
