GPX-PRO

Manage. Monitor. Control.
GPIO, SNMP, MQTT, REST, Modbus & Ping Connectivity

GPX Pro Series

 A universal GPI/O interface for the devices that still need direct signal control. The GPX Pro Series connects contact closures, analog levels, and relays to modern networks, then shares that data with SNMP managers, MQTT brokers, REST clients, and Modbus devices.

What’s New

Now Speaking More of Your Network’s Languages

  • MQTT publishing. Stream channel status and changes to any MQTT broker over TLS, with broker authentication, for cloud dashboards and event pipelines.
  • REST API. Read and set channels, alarms, and configuration with JSON, secured by JWT token authentication, and switch to HTTPS by loading your own SSL certificate.
  • Modbus TCP master control. Act as a Modbus TCP master to poll and command slave devices such as meters, PLCs, and sensors, including serial devices behind a Modbus TCP gateway, with up to 20 slave devices per unit.
  • Zero-config discovery. NetBIOS and mDNS names let you find each unit by name instead of by IP address.
  • Redesigned SLS WebControls. A refreshed, responsive web interface for desktop, tablet, and phone.
  • Station branding. Upload your station’s own logo to SLS WebControls. It appears on the sign-in page, beside the device name, and in About for every operator who signs in.
  • Built-in HTTPS. Install your own certificate, or generate a self-signed one on the unit, to move the web interface and REST API to HTTPS.

Every new feature ships on both the GPX-8 Pro and GPX-32 Pro; the GPX-8 Pro simply has fewer channels.

Scalable, Site Monitoring Solutions

Open Protocols. One Rack Unit.

VERSATILE UNIVERSAL GPI/O INTERFACE
Universal interface for local or remote connection and communication supporting parallel channels of analog, status, control, and monitoring.

INTEGRATE LEGACY AND NEWER OPERATIONS
Bridges contact-closure and analog equipment into SNMP, MQTT, and REST-based systems.

IDEAL FOR CLOUD-CENTRIC WORKFLOWS
Publishes to MQTT brokers and exposes a REST API, so cloud platforms consume GPX data directly.

FIND IT BY NAME (NEW)
NetBIOS and mDNS discovery make each unit reachable by name on the local network.

COMPATIBLE WITH AXESS SOFTWARE

Fully compatible with Axess network-based management application. Translates GPI/O channels into data and relays information for processing by Axess.

STANDALONE OR NETWORK DEVICES
Standalone site management tool with programmable controls and notifications. Can also be integrated into networks that are reporting into a centralized NOC or hub.

UNLIMITED EXPANSION
Multiple units can be deployed within an Axess system for unlimited GPI/O expansion.

KEY FEATURES

  • Manage multiple remote network edge sites
  • Centralized monitoring for all connected remote sites
  • SNMP management for all local site equipment
  • MQTT publishing over TLS to cloud and on-premises brokers
  • REST API with JWT authentication and optional HTTPS
  • Modbus TCP master control of slave devices
  • NetBIOS and mDNS name discovery
  • Device pinging across your network
  • Alarm and event management and notifications
  • Custom station branding in SLS WebControls
  • HTTPS with your own or a self-signed certificate
  • Suited to small single sites or large-scale networks
  • Models: GPX-8-Pro and GPX-32-Pro, with the full feature set on both

GPI/ONative I/OOpto-isolated inputs, analog inputs, and relay outputs for direct signal control
SNMPAgent and managerExposes GPX channels to NMS platforms, sends traps, and polls and sets SNMP data on site equipment
MQTTPublisher and command subscriberPublishes channel changes to a broker as JSON and accepts the same commands as the REST API, over TLS with broker authentication
REST APIHTTP/HTTPS JSON serverReads and sets channels, alarms, and configuration; HTTP by default, HTTPS once an SSL certificate is loaded; JWT token authentication with Viewer, Operator, and Administrator roles
Modbus TCPMasterReads and writes coils, discrete inputs, and holding and input registers on slave devices such as meters, PLCs, and sensors; serial devices connect through a gateway
PingMonitorChecks reachability of devices across the network and raises alarms
NetBIOS / mDNSName discoveryMakes each unit reachable by host name on the local network
Email (SMTP)ClientSends alarm and event notifications
SyslogClientForwards the event log to a syslog server
NTPClientKeeps unit time in sync for accurate event logs
SSH / TelnetManagementCommand-line access for configuration and diagnostics

All protocols run on both models. GPI/O, Ping, SNMP, and Modbus channels share one budget per unit: 192 on the GPX-32 Pro and 96 on the GPX-8 Pro. Each unit polls up to 20 Modbus TCP slave devices, and devices behind one gateway count as one.

Summary

Built for Every Site, from One Station to a Nationwide Network

The GPX-PRO is a flexible monitoring and control device that works as a complete solution for a single station or remote site, or as one node in a wide-scale network monitoring system. Embedded software provides SNMP agent and manager functions, secure MQTT publishing, a REST API with optional HTTPS, Modbus TCP master control, device pinging, and alarm and event notification, all in a 1RU footprint.

Diagrams

Pair the GPX-32 Pro with the TE-09 Punch Down Panel to terminate every channel on standard 110 blocks. The TE-09 is used with the GPX-32 Pro only.
