May 3, 2012 - Moxa released the ioPAC 8020-C, a C/C++ programmable RTU controller featuring a Linux/GNU platform adapted to data acquisition and condition monitoring. The main advantage of this open C platform is its user-friendly SDK, to help economize installation and configuration time by reducing programming overhead for key areas like I/O control and condition monitoring, interoperability with SCADA/DB, and improving smart communication controls. It is compliant with EN 50121-3-2, EN 50121-4 and essential sections of EN 50155 railway standard and tolerates wide operating temperatures (-40 to 75°C) to create an ideal solution for railway applications.
For remotely operated applications, engineers are always asking for a product that is more easily integrated into existing systems, and which will better execute front-end data processing, conversion, data acquisition and alarm applications. Now with this rugged Linux-based C programming platform, Moxa delivers maximum coding flexibility in ready-to-use SDKs, making I/O access and control easier than ever. Engineers now can create imaginative, user-defined programs that integrate with localized domains, giving end-users considerable additional value. The ioPAC 8020-C has two Ethernet switch ports that allow system integrators to easily build control networks with open Ethernet standards and daisy-chain connectivity.
For train-related applications, durable M12 Ethernet connectors and spring-type terminal blocks deliver reliable operations in high vibration environments. This rugged RTU delivers high system reliability and stability in harsh environments while providing versatile module connectivity.
