Remote I/O server with Ethernet

June 2006 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

The ioLogik E2210 is designed to read and control the on/off status of devices remotely over an Ethernet network from a host computer for remote monitoring in factory automation, environmental monitoring and building automation systems.

The LCD display kit allows the user to configure the network and check I/O status of devices without using a PC, during field inspection. Support for the standard Modbus protocol makes ioLogik 2000 compatible with most scada software, such as Intellution, iFix, and Citect.

The server also has a unique SNMP to I/O feature that allows users to monitor the I/O status of devices by using standard SNMP-based network management systems, such as OpenView. The ultra high speed Active I/O messaging can send TCP or UDP packets from E2210 to 10 host computers within 50 ms when I/O changes occur, allowing the host computer to be updated easily, but without consuming a lot of network bandwidth and CPU time.

For Windows programming, the upcoming MXIO DLL programming library is available for users of Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Borland C++ Builder. "ioLogik E2210 Ethernet I/O is the most easy to use Remote I/O for Industrial IT system integration. It is both flexible and powerful enough for modern automation applications," said Andy Cheng, division manager at MOXA Technologies. "For example, ioLogik E2210 Ethernet I/O Server has been adopted in an advanced RFID-based baggage tracking system. Thanks to its flexibility, fast response time over Ethernet, and high performance, the customer can easily improve the overall performance of the system."
