The Most Intelligent I/O for Remote Monitoring and Alarm Applications
ioLogik also supports Active Ethernet I/O, which is a new concept
introduced by Moxa that offers proactive, condition-based reporting
and the control of I/O devices used for PC-based data acquisition
and control. The I/O status of an Active Ethernet I/O device can be
reported and controlled automatically on-site based on user specified
conditions. This report-by-exception approach, which is new to PC-
based monitoring, requires far less bandwidth than traditional polling
methods. Critical sensor data can be obtained immediately instead
of being confined by the use of polling intervals. This makes network
communication between a host computer and Active Ethernet I/O
devices concise and efficient, and makes data transmission 20 times
faster compared with traditional SCADA systems (50 ms compared to
1 sec).

Why Choose Active Ethernet I/O?
In addition to Modbus/TCP, the I/O status of an Active Ethernet I/O
device can be controlled in various ways. IT engineers can use SNMP
and CGI, whereas IA engineers can use open-standard Active OPC
Server. In addition, the MXIO library also offers programmers the
benefit of fast implementation.
IA and IT-friendly Approaches to Remote I/O Control
The intelligence of Active Ethernet I/O is integrated by two parts:
The programming-free local control logic of Click&Go, and•
Remote I/O control•
Click&Go provides a programming-free, easy-to-learn IF-THEN-ELSE
style of local I/O control that is capable of combining time-control
or delivering TCP/UDP/SNMP Trap/e-mail/SMS messages with time
stamp. In addition to Modbus/TCP, Active Ethernet I/O supports
the familiar SNMP and HTTP-CGI protocols, giving IT engineers
more options for obtaining remote I/O status and sending control
commands. In addition, the Active OPC Server package makes it easy
to link Active Ethernet I/O to SCADA systems.
