Supports MTConnect Protocol for Monitoring Digital Inputs
MTConnect is designed specifically for shop-floor applications that
aim to convert shop-floor data into a standard format that can be
understood by any MTConnect-compliant software applications.
Once the data has been defined by an MTConnect-compliant
interface (name, type, description, etc.), it eliminates the need to
redefine the data within each application. For those legacy machine
tools that do not support MTConnect, the common practice is to get
machine-related data through sensor connections and I/Os. Moxa
NPort IA5000A-I/O supports MTConnect-enabled capability for all
digital inputs on the device and provides a configurable interface for
users to define what data and appropriate MTConnect tags need to
be tied to the digital inputs.
Secure Remote Management and Configuration With SSH/HTTPS
Unauthorized access is one of the biggest headaches for system managers. In addition to IP filtering and password protection, the NPort IA5000A-
I/O also supports SSH and HTTPS to provide protection from hackers. To transmit control messages securely, open the web console using a web
browser that supports HTTPS (Internet Explorer, for example). You may also open the serial or Telnet console, such as PuTTY, using a terminal
emulator that supports SSH.
Select Any Baudrate Between 50 bps and 921.6 kbps
Most device servers only support a fixed number of serial baudrates. However, some applications require special baudrates, such as 250 kbps or
500 kbps. With the NPort IA5000A-I/O, you can use any baudrate between 50 and 921.6 kbps. If your device’s baudrate is not a standard baudrate,
select “other” from the drop-down list and then enter the baudrate.
