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.
At this 3-day show, Moxa exhibited its latest products, and attracted many interested visitors to their booth.
Product lines exhibited included industrial Ethernet switches, media convertors, wireless AP/bridge/AP client, NPort IA industrial serial device servers, network I/O servers, embedded computers, and video over IP servers.
All products generated much interest from people visiting the show.
Moxa's two new Gigabit Ethernet Switches, the EDS-726 and EDS-518, both of which are ideal for industrial control and automation applications, generated a particular amount of interest at the show.
EtherDevice Switch EDS-726 is a 26-port modular gigabit managed switch that supports a redundant Gigabit Ethernet Turbo Ring.
This highly versatile, high performance switch meets the demands of harsh industrial applications.
EtherDevice Switch EDS-518, an 18-port gigabit managed switch, supports many intelligent network management functions, including QoS, IGMP snooping/GMRP, VLAN and IEEE802.1x.
Another product featured at the show was AWK-1100, an industrial IEEE802.11g wireless AP/bridge/AP client, which is designed to be used with Ethernet switches and other Ethernet-ready devices to provide ready access to a wireless LAN.
Attractive features include WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security capability, operating temperature range from 0 to 60C, and redundant power inputs.
In addition to the industrial Ethernet switch series and wireless Ethernet products, Moxa's network I/O server solution, the ioLogik 4000 series, also got a big response.
Moxa ioLogik 4000 is designed to connect a variety of sensors, and electrical, electronic, and mechanical devices to computers and applications over standard Ethernet networks and the Internet, helping to link the analogue world with the digital world.
