Server adds robustness to industrial Ethernet
The Moxa EtherDevice Server is the first intelligent industrial Ethernet device server specially for connecting devices such as PLCs, HMIs and DCS systems in industrial field applications.
Although anyone may enter the contest, winners will be restricted to applicants from industry who have a real need for using wireless device servers.
"The growing popularity of wireless LANs in industrial settings is due in part to the versatility they add to a wide range of applications".
"Reducing the number of cables used helps reduce cost and removes the risk of devices getting disconnected when someone trips over a cable".
"Wireless device servers are also being used to add mobility to industrial equipment that otherwise would be restricted to a small area", said Harry Liu, the Moxa Product Manager who will oversee judging of the entries.
"We felt that requiring applicants to submit a practical application of the product would be a good way to generate interest in the contest".
"It's certainly a lot more exciting than just pulling names out of a hat".
"Besides, If you're in the market for a product of this type, you'll already have a product application in mind, so it should only take a few minutes to write up a description".
Complete contest information is available on the Moxa Group website.
