Introduction to Industrial I/O
The ioLogik R2000/4000 series was designed for system integrators
to acquire and control remote digital and analog devices over both RS-
232 and RS-485 connections. Different types of digital on/off devices
can be controlled, including proximity switches, mechanical switches,
push buttons, optical sensors, LEDs, and light switches. In addition,
different types of analog devices can be controlled, including sensors
that read pH, conductivity, temperature, humidity, pressure, and flow,
as well as actuators and valves. ioLogik R2000/4000 series products
can be used with the standard Modbus protocol, and SCADA software
or the MXIO DLL library can be used to access the server.
Linking Input and Output Signals over a Serial Connection
The ioLogik R2000 is designed as a stand-alone serial I/O solution. Two model groups are
available. The ioLogik R2110 has 12 DIs and 8 DOs, and the ioLogik R2140 has 8 AIs and
2 AOs. In addition to being installed separately, two or more ioLogik R2000 devices can be
connected together via a system bus that includes sharing the system’s power. The modular
ioLogik 4000 system consists of a network adaptor plus up to 31 slice-type I/O modules.
The ioLogik connects to the host controller via RS-485, and the ioLogik NA-4020 and NA-
4021 support individual RS-485 and RS-232 connections.
More Choices for Stand-alone and Modular Solutions
Traditionally, it was difficult for users to update firmware over RS-485.
Moxa now provides an easy method for updating firmware over
an RS-485 network that allows users to perform remote firmware
updates, reducing maintenance time and cost.
Traditionally, a PC was required to configure a remote I/O. To get around
this, Moxa now offers an optional snap-on LCD module to give users
a much easier way to configure and monitor ioLogik R2000 series
products. The LCD module is hot-pluggable, which means that it can be
installed or removed without turning off the server.

Secure Wake on Call
There are three ways to wake up an ioLogik Active GPRS I/O. The first is wake up by event, such as with an active message, SMS, email, or SNMP
Trap. The second is wake on call. In this case, the ioLogik W5340 can be woken by a secure caller ID. In sleep mode, the ioLogik W5340 will
disconnect all communications except GSM. The only way you can connect is with wake on call. If your caller ID is configured in the ioLogik W5340,
it will wake up from sleep mode. Once the ioLogik W5340 receives a call, it will identify the caller ID and then hang up the phone without incurring any
expense. If the caller ID is in the authorized list, a connection to the Active OPC Server will be initiated and a communication channel will be initiated
using the IP address. Since your caller ID must be authorized, you can ensure that your data is secure. The third method is to configure the data log
system to upload your data every night at midnight.
Stay Alive with a Small Bandwidth
Compared with the traditional “polling” architecture, which results in a longer response time since more network bandwidth is used, the ioLogik Active
GPRS I/O uses “push” technology to report active messages when predefined events occur. This event-driven logic improves the I/O response time
and results in I/O access that is more precise. In addition, you will see a big reduction in your communication expense since the system uses a limited
amount of bandwidth, and this innovative push-based architecture reduces CPU loading, which means that less maintenance is required and lower
level hardware devices can be used.
