MXACUNET - Remote Diagnostic & Control Software

MXACUNET is an application in which you can diagnose and control single or multiple MXACU, by working in conjunction with T40 Option board.

MXACUNET features:

  • Real Time MXACU Diagnostic through Ethernet port.
  • Real Time MXACU Remote Control through Ethernet port.
  • Alarm Logging.
