MOXA ioLogik E1241 Ethernet Remote I/O Module

The MOXA ioLogik E1200 Series Ethernet Remote I/O Modules support the most often-used protocols for retrieving I/O data, making it capable of handling a wide variety of applications. Most IT engineers use SNMP or RESTful API protocols, but OT engineers are more familiar with OT-based protocols, such as Modbus and EtherNet/IP. MOXA's Smart I/O makes it possible for both IT and OT engineers to conveniently retrieve data from the same I/O device. The MOXA ioLogik E1200 Series speaks six different protocols, including Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and Moxa AOPC for OT engineers, as well as SNMP, RESTful API, and Moxa MXIO library for IT engineers. The ioLogik E1200 Series retrieves I/O data and converts the data to any of these protocols at the same time, allowing the user to get their applications connected easily and effortlessly.

The MOXA ioLogik E1200 Series Ethernet Remote I/O Modules come with two switched Ethernet ports to allow for the free flow of information downstream to another local Ethernet device, or upstream to a control server via expandable daisy-chained Ethernet I/O arrays. Applications such as factory automation, security and surveillance systems, and tunneled connections can make use of daisy-chained Ethernet for building multidrop I/O networks over standard Ethernet cables. Many industrial automation users are familiar with multidrop as the configuration most typically used in fieldbus solutions. The daisy-chain capabilities supported by ioLogik Ethernet remote I/O units not only increase the expandability and installation possibilities for the user's remote I/O applications, but also raises overall cost-efficiency by reducing the need for separate Ethernet switches. Daisy-chaining devices in this way will also reduce overall labor and cabling expenses.
