CONVERTING
From the OCS250 to the NX250/251/252

As the OCS250 product matures, it becomes more and more advantageous for customers
to start using next generation OCS controllers. The NX Family is the best choice as a
replacement for the OCS250 if you are looking for similar screen type, screen size, and
overall functions. If you want to consider upgrading to an OCS touch screen model,
please contact our Technical Support group for advice. If you decide to transition to the
NX family, there are a few conversion issues that need to be considered.

The NX250/251/252 OCS Controller family contains several notable benefits over the
OCS250. One or more may be reason enough to make the conversion desirable.

Significant benefits are:

Faster processing speed.
Standard Removable Media for data storage and retrieval.
Downloadable protocols for connectivity to other devices (DF1, SNP, Modbus).
Standard I/O Expandability through the embedded fiber optic expansion (FOX) interface.
Supports new Plastic I/O Modules.
Built-in Ethernet, Web Server, and built-in HCS optionally available.
