Murrelektronik Xelity

Use the latest version

Before installing, check the logiccloud Docker Hub tags and install the most recent latest image.

The Murrelektronik Xelity managed switches run logiccloud Control in an LXC container on the device itself, so one device is both the network switch and the PLC runtime.

Installation steps not yet verified

The supported devices, their specifications and their device processes below are confirmed. The installation steps describe the general LXC procedure and have not yet been verified on a Xelity switch: the menu names in the Murrelektronik interface may differ, and no container download link is published yet — see 1. Get the container.

Please contact logiccloud support before installing.

Supported devices

All six variants are supported. The PN variants add Profinet.

Device	Ports	Profinet	Protection
Xelity 4TX M GE	4 × 1000 Mbit	—	IP20
Xelity 4TX M GE PN	4 × 1000 Mbit	Yes	IP20
Xelity 6TX M GE	6 × 1000 Mbit	—	IP20
Xelity 6TX M GE PN	6 × 1000 Mbit	Yes	IP20
Xelity 8TX M GE	8 × 1000 Mbit	—	IP20
Xelity 8TX M GE PN	8 × 1000 Mbit	Yes	IP20

Select your exact device type when you create the device in the logiccloud IDE.

Every variant runs on the same platform:

Architecture	Memory	Cores	Container type
ARM 32 (linux/arm/v7)	1 GB	2	LXC

Device processes

Three services can run on a Xelity beside the runtime. Only the first is installed automatically; the other two you enable yourself under Edit device processes.

Service	Enabled	What it does
Edge license service	Always	Handles licensing on the device.
Debugging service	Optional	Lets you debug the running program online from the IDE.
OPC UA browsing service	Optional	Lets the IDE browse the OPC UA address space of the device.

Tip

If the IDE cannot browse the OPC UA address space of the device, check that the OPC UA browsing service is enabled. It is not installed by default.

Install logiccloud Control

Tip

The Xelity uses LXC containers, not Docker. The container is downloaded and installed manually through the device interface — the docker run command used for the Docker devices does not apply here.

1. Get the container

No Xelity container is linked from this documentation yet. Contact logiccloud support to obtain the correct container image for your device.

The other LXC devices publish theirs on the logiccloud downloads page — for example INSYS MRX and Perinet periMICA. This page will link the Xelity container once it is published.

2. Install the container on the device

Not yet verified on a Xelity

These steps follow the general LXC procedure used by the other LXC devices. The exact menu names on the Xelity may differ.

1. Open the web interface of your Xelity switch and log in.
2. Find the container management area of the interface.
3. Upload the container image you received, and confirm the upload.
4. Edit the container and configure its network, so that it reaches the internet and is reachable from your network. On comparable devices this means setting:
   • the network bridge or interface to use,
   • the IPv4 address of the container — a free address in the same network as the device, for example 192.168.1.21 if the device is 192.168.1.1,
   • the IPv4 netmask, for example 24,
   • the IPv4 gateway, which is normally the address of the device itself.
5. Save the configuration, then apply or activate it.

Info

Please make sure that your device is connected to the internet so that you can install your logiccloud Control Runtime.

3. Connect the device and install the runtime

Once the container runs, open the installation interface at the container IP you configured — 192.168.1.21 in the example above. From there you create the device in the logiccloud IDE, connect it with its device token, and install the runtime.
