Product Highlights
Built-in 2-port Ethernet switch for daisy chain topologies
Thanks to its two embedded Ethernet switch ports, the ioLogik E1200 remote Ethernet I/O allows you to create
daisy chain topologies for easy cabling. In distributed Ethernet data acquisition applications, panels, units, and
cabinets are often located at remote sites where space is limited. The daisy chain capability of the ioLogik
E1200 series allows ioLogik E1200 units to connect in series either to each other or to other nearby Ethernet
devices, drastically saving on both space and wiring costs.
Free support for Moxa’s push-based Active OPC Server
Active OPC Server is a free software package provided by MOXA as an OPC driver for HMI/SCADA systems.
Active OPC Server helps networks achieve faster response times by reducing bandwidth usage. Conventional
OPC servers typically use a polling method to communicate with Ethernet I/O devices, continuously sending
commands to collect relevant data. MOXA's Active OPC Server instead uses “push” communication initiated by
Moxa’s remote I/O devices, enabling them to provide your HMI/SCADA system with instant I/O status reports
via “Active Tags,” thus using less bandwidth than is the case with traditional polling methods.
