| MOXA releases Active Ethernet I/O with condition-based reporting | ||

 Taipei, Taiwan, Feb 7, 2007 — MOXA introduces the world’s first Active Ethernet I/O servers. The Active Ethernet I/O server enhances the flexibility of PC-based data acquisition and control systems with proactive condition-based reporting and control of I/O device status. Whereas I/O servers are traditionally passive and must be polled for data, the Active Ethernet I/O server reports and controls I/O status based on user-specified conditions. This report-by-exception approach, new to PC-based I/O monitoring, requires far less bandwidth than traditional polling methods. Critical sensor data can be obtained immediately instead being subject to polling intervals. The Active Ethernet I/O server is designed for flexible and easy implementation. It supports multiple protocols for data transmission, including TCP/UDP, SNMP trap, SMTP (e-mail), and Modbus/TCP. Condition-based reporting and control can be configured in minutes using the patent-pending, intuitive Click&Go logic interface, which requires no programming knowledge. VB, VC++, and BCB programming libraries are provided for easy integration with user-developed applications. I/O signals can be easily and cost-effectively extended over Ethernet using peer-to-peer I/O communication. This provides duplication of digital or analog signals between Active Ethernet I/O servers at different locations, without a PC or master PLC. Moxa offers two models of I/O servers that support Active Ethernet I/O operation. The ioLogik E2210 provides digital input and output channels, and the ioLogike E2240 provides analog input and output channels. Both models offer Active Ethernet I/O operation that can run independently of a PC, full compatibility with traditional remote I/O operation, and built-in support for Modbus/TCP, SNMP, TCP/IP, and HTTP protocols. Key features: The MOXA Group is a conglomerate that manufactures device networking products for industrial automation. Information about all MOXA products, which include industrial Ethernet switches, serial device servers, multiport serial cards, embedded device servers, and remote I/O servers, is available on the MOXA Group’s corporate website. |
